Semi-Annual Report—June 30, 2016 (unaudited)
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.

† | 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 Funds are net of expenses and based on the published NAV as of June 30, 2016. 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. |
4 | Investments in foreign securities, even though publicly traded in the United States, may involve risks which are in addition to those inherent in domestic investments. |
5 | The Fund is subject to risks associated with investments in mid-capitalization companies such as greater price volatility, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than the stocks of larger, more established companies. |
6 | 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. |
7 | To the extent that the Fund invests in asset-backed or mortgage-backed securities, its exposure to prepayment and extension risks may be greater than investments in other fixed income securities. |
8 | 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. |
9 | The Barclays U.S. Aggregate 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. |
10 | The Fund is subject to risks associated with investments in small-capitalization companies, such as erratic earnings history and a reliance on one or a limited number of products. The stocks of small capitalization companies may experience greater price volatility than those of larger, more established companies. |

Fund Performance (continued)
11 | Investments in international securities are subject to certain risks of overseas investing including currency fluctuations and changes in political and economic conditions, which could result in significant market fluctuations. These risks are magnified in emerging markets. |
12 | The Fund is subject to special risk considerations similar to those associated with the direct ownership of real estate. Real estate valuations may be subject to factors such as changing general and local economic, financial, competitive, and environmental conditions. |
13 | The Russell 2000® Value Index is an unmanaged, market-value weighted, value-oriented index comprised of small stocks that have relatively low price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. Unlike the Fund, the Russell 2000® Value Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment and does not incur expenses. |
14 | Fixed income funds are subject to risks associated with investments in debt securities, such as default risk and fluctuations in the perception of the debtors’ ability to pay their 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. |
15 | 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. |
16 | A short-term redemption fee of 2% will be charged on shares held for less than 90 days. |
17 | 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 risk 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. |
18 | The Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield 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 Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
19 | 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. |
20 | Obligations of certain government agencies are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. If one of these agencies defaulted on a loan, there is no guarantee that the U.S. Government will provide financial support. Additionally, debt securities of the U.S. Government may be affected by changing interest rates and subject to prepayment risk. |
21 | 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. |
22 | The BofA Merrill Lynch 6-Month U.S. 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. |

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, Inc. (“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, Inc. (“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, Inc. (“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 and AMG Funds II (the “Trusts”) are open-end management investment companies, organized as a Massachusetts business trusts, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Currently, the Trusts consist of a number of different funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks, and policies. Included in this report are AMG Funds: AMG Chicago Equity Partners Small Cap Value Fund (“Small Cap Value”) and AMG Funds II: AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund (“Balanced”), AMG Managers High Yield Fund (“High Yield”), AMG Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund (“Intermediate Duration”) and AMG Managers Short Duration Government Fund (“Short Duration”), 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, 2016, High Yield had redemption fees amounting to $1,655.
The Small Cap Value Fund had an inception date of December 31, 2014. The Fund’s commencement of operations was on January 2, 2015.
Balanced and Small Cap Value offer three classes of shares: Investor, Service and Institutional Class. High Yield offers 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 national securities exchange or reported on the NASDAQ national market system (“NMS”) are valued at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange or, if applicable, the NASDAQ official closing price or the official closing price of the relevant exchange or, lacking any sales, at the last quoted bid price or the mean between the last quoted bid and ask prices (the “exchange mean price”). Equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market (other than NMS securities) are valued at the exchange mean price. Foreign equity securities (securities principally traded in markets other than U.S. markets) are valued at the official closing price on the primary exchange or, for markets that either do not offer an official closing price or where the official closing price may not be representative of the overall market, the last quoted sale price.
Fixed income securities purchased with a remaining maturity exceeding 60 days are valued at the evaluated bid price or the mean price provided by an authorized pricing service or, if an evaluated price is not available, by reference to other securities which are considered comparable in credit rating, interest rate, due date and other features (generally referred to as “matrix pricing”) or other similar pricing methodologies. 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.
Fixed income securities purchased with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost value is approximately the same as the fair value of the security valued without the use of amortized cost. Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at their end of day net asset value per share.
Futures contracts for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the settlement price as of the close of the futures exchange.
The Funds’ portfolio 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 Trust (the “Board”). Under certain circumstances, the value of certain Fund portfolio 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 Valuation Committee, which is comprised of the Independent Trustees of the Board, and the Pricing Committee, which is comprised of representatives from AMG Funds LLC (the “Investment Manager”) are the committees appointed by the Board to make fair value determinations. Each Fund 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 readily available or otherwise not determinable pursuant to the Board’s valuation procedures, if the Investment Manager or the Pricing Committee 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 and, if required under the Trust’s securities valuation procedures, the Valuation Committee, seeks to determine the price that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive from current sale of that portfolio 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 and analytical data relating to the investment; 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 portfolio 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
65
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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 Fund, including a comparison with the prior quarter end and the percentage of the Fund that the security represents at each quarter end.
With respect to foreign equity securities and certain foreign fixed income securities, the Board has adopted a policy that securities held in a Fund that can be fair valued by the applicable fair value pricing service are fair valued on each business day provided that each individual price exceeds a pre-established confidence level.
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)
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 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. Transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.
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. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Dividend and interest income on foreign securities is recorded gross of any withholding tax. 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 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 other trusts within the AMG Funds family of mutual funds (collectively the “AMG Funds family”) and 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.
The following Funds had certain portfolio trades directed to various brokers, under a brokerage recapture program, which paid a portion of such Fund’s expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the amount by which the Fund’s expenses were reduced and the impact on the expense ratios, if any, were as follows: Balanced - $10,753 or 0.01%, Small Cap Value - $795 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, 2016, the Funds’ custodian expense was not reduced.
Effective June 1, 2016, the overdraft fees are computed at 1.75% (previously 1.0%) above the effective Federal Funds rate on the day of the overdraft. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, overdraft fees for Small Cap Value and High Yield equaled $7 and $23, respectively.

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. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital. 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 permanent differences are due to write-off of interest on certain defaulted bonds, and the treatment of certain sales or exchanges in corporate inversion transactions. Temporary differences are due to differing treatments for losses deferred due to tax regulations, wash sales, futures and tax straddles.
e. FEDERAL TAXES
Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, 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, 2015 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, Management is 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, 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, 2016, 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 | |
Fund | | Short-Term Long-Term | | | December 31, | |
Small Cap Value | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(Post-Enactment) | | $ | 418,019 | | | | — | | | | Unlimited | |
High Yield | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(Pre-Enactment) | | $ | 1,914,719 | | | | — | | | | 2017 | |
Short Duration | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(Pre-Enactment) | | $ | 585,044 | | | | — | | | | 2017 | |
(Post-Enactment) | | $ | 360,270 | | | $ | 1,616,083 | | | | Unlimited | |
Balanced and Intermediate Duration had no accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from securities transactions for federal income tax purposes. Should Balanced and Intermediate Duration incur net capital losses for the year ended December 31, 2016, such amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains, for an unlimited time period.
g. CAPITAL STOCK
The Trusts’ Declaration of Trust authorizes for each fund 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, 2016, 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 - two collectively own 41%; High Yield - one owns 14%; Intermediate Duration—two collectively own 51%; Short Duration - three collectively own 72%. Transactions by these shareholders may have a material impact on their respective Fund.
h. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND JOINT REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements for temporary cash management purposes 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
68
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
declines, or if bankruptcy proceedings commence with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited.
Additionally, the Funds may enter into joint repurchase agreements for reinvestment of cash collateral on securities lending transactions under the securities lending program offered by BNYM (the “Program”), provided that the value of the underlying collateral, including accrued interest, will equal or exceed the value of the joint repurchase agreement during the term of the agreement. The Funds participate on a pro rata basis with other clients of BNYM in its share of the underlying collateral under such joint repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of the underlying collateral. The underlying collateral for joint 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 Funds may be delayed or limited. Pursuant to the Program, the Funds are indemnified for such losses by BNYM.
At June 30, 2016, the market value of repurchase agreements or joint repurchase agreements outstanding for Balanced, Small Cap Value and High Yield were $3,001,707, $417,455, and $2,499,693, respectively.
i. SECURITIES TRANSACTED ON A WHEN ISSUED BASIS
The Funds may enter into To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) sale commitments to hedge their 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 Trusts have 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. The investment portfolio of Balanced and Small Cap Value are managed by Chicago Equity Partners, LLC (“CEP”). AMG indirectly owns a majority interest in CEP.
Investment management fees are paid directly by the Funds to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Funds’ investment management fees were paid at the following annual rate of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets:
| | | | |
Balanced | | | 0.70 | % |
Small Cap Value | | | 0.62 | % |
High Yield | | | 0.70 | % |
Intermediate Duration | | | 0.70 | % |
Short Duration | | | 0.70 | % |
The Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2017, 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, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) of Balanced, Small Cap Value and High Yield to 0.84%, 0.95% and 0.90%, respectively, of each Fund’s average daily net assets subject to later reimbursement by the Funds in certain circumstances.
The Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2017, 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.
69
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The contractual expense limitation may only be terminated in the event the Investment Manager or a successor ceases to be the investment manager of the Fund or a successor fund, by mutual agreement between the Investment Manager and the Board, or in the event of the Fund’s liquidation unless the Fund is reorganized or is a party to a merger in which the surviving entity is successor to the accounting and performance information of the Fund.
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 the 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, 2016, the Funds’ expiration of reimbursement are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Expiration Period | | Balanced | | | Small Cap Value | |
Less than 1 year* | | $ | 178,901 | | | | — | |

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 Money Market Funds. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the management fee for Intermediate Duration was reduced by $8,668.
Balanced, Small Cap Value and High Yield have entered into an Administration and Shareholder Servicing Agreement under which the Investment Manager serves as 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. Balanced, Small Cap Value and High Yield each pay a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.20%, 0.25%, 0.20%, respectively, per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets for this service.
The Funds are distributed by AMG 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.
The Trusts have adopted a distribution and service plan (the “Plan”) with respect to the Investor Class 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, Balanced, Small Cap Value and High Yield may make payments to the Distributor for their 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.
For Intermediate Duration, the Investor Class of Small Cap Value, and the Service Class of both Balanced and Small Cap Value, the Board has approved reimbursement payments to the Investment Manager for shareholder servicing expenses (“shareholder servicing fees”) for the actual amount incurred up to a maximum annual rate of each Class’s average daily net assets. 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. For Short Duration, the Board has approved the Fund to pay shareholder servicing fees directly to a broker-dealer 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 ratios for the six months ended June 30, 2016, was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Maximum | | | Actual | |
Fund | | Amount Approved | | | Amount Incurred | |
Balanced-Service Class | | | 0.100 | % | | | 0.100 | % |
Small Cap Value-Service Class | | | 0.150 | % | | | 0.126 | % |
Small Cap Value-Investor Class | | | 0.150 | % | | | 0.150 | % |
Intermediate Duration | | | 0.100 | % | | | 0.100 | % |
Short Duration | | | 0.100 | % | | | 0.001 | % |
In June 2016, the Funds’ Board approved a proposal to revise certain fees paid by the Funds. These changes will not increase the overall fees incurred by the Funds or by shareholders of the Funds. These changes will not be effective until October 1, 2016 following execution of all relevant agreements and the filing of revised prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board approved, in some cases, changes to the administrative fee and/or management fee of the Funds. The Board also approved, in some cases, changes to the shareholder servicing fees
70
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
of Balanced, Small Cap, Intermediate Duration and Short Duration. Further details regarding such changes will be available once all relevant agreements are finalized and executed and revised prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Board provides supervision of the affairs of the Trusts, other trusts within the AMG Funds family and other affiliated funds. The Trustees of the Trusts who are not affiliated with an Investment Manager receive an annual retainer and per meeting fees for regular, special and telephonic meetings, and they are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred while carrying out their duties as Board members. The Chairman of the Board and the Audit Committee Chair receive additional annual retainers. Certain Trustees and Officers of the Funds are Officers and/or Directors of the Investment Manager, AMG and/or the Distributor.
The Securities and Exchange Commission granted an exemptive order that permits each fund 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, 2016, Intermediate Duration lent $1,607,090 for 3 days earning interest of $114. The interest amount is included in the Statement of Operations as interest income. At June 30, 2016, the Funds had no interfund loans outstanding.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term securities and U.S. Government Obligations) for the six months ended June 30, 2016, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Long-Term Securities | |
Fund | | Purchases | | | Sales | |

4. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED
The Funds participate in 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 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 omnibus account managed by BNYM, who is authorized to exclusively enter into joint 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.
At June 30, 2016, the value of the securities loaned and cash collateral received, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Securities | | | Cash Collateral | |
Fund | | Loaned | | | Received | |
Balanced | | $ | 2,957,889 | | | $ | 3,001,707 | |
Small Cap Value | | | 404,793 | | | | 417,455 | |

Under the Trusts’ organizational documents, its trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trusts. 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. 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. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The following disclosures contain information on how and why certain 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, 2016, the average quarterly balances of derivative financial instruments outstanding were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Intermediate | | | Short | |
| | Duration | | | Duration | |
Financial futures contracts: | | | | | | | | |
Average number of contracts purchased | | | 6 | | | | 18 | |
Average number of contracts sold | | | 64 | | | | 659 | |
Average notional value of contracts purchased | | $ | 818,281 | | | $ | 2,438,047 | |
Average notional value of contracts sold | | $ | 7,083,083 | | | $ | 86,409,134 | |
8. FUTURES CONTRACTS
A Fund may enter 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 over-the-counter (“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.
9. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS (“CMOs”)
The net asset values of a fund may be sensitive to interest rate fluctuations because a fund 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.
10. DOLLAR ROLL AGREEMENTS
A Fund may enter into dollar rolls in which they sell debt securities for delivery currently and simultaneously contract to repurchase similar, but not 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.
11. STRIPPED SECURITIES
A Fund may invest 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.

12. 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, 2016:

Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (unaudited)
AMG Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund, AMG Managers Short Duration Government Fund, AMG Managers High Yield Fund, AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund and AMG Chicago Equity Partners Small Cap Value Fund: Approval of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements on June 22-23, 2016.
At an in-person meeting held on June 22-23, 2016, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of each of AMG Funds and AMG Funds II (each, a “Trust” and collectively, the “Trusts”), and separately a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trusts (the “Independent Trustees”), approved (i) the Investment Management Agreement, as amended at any time prior to the date of the meeting, with AMG Funds LLC (the “Investment Manager”) and each Trust for each of AMG Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund, AMG Managers Short Duration Government Fund, AMG Managers High Yield Fund, AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund and AMG Chicago Equity Partners Small Cap Value Fund (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”) and separately an amendment, to be effective October 1, 2016, to such Investment Management Agreement for each of AMG Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund, AMG Managers Short Duration Government Fund, AMG Managers High Yield Fund and AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund (collectively, the “Investment Management Agreement”) and (ii) the Subadvisory Agreement, as amended at any time prior to the date of the meeting, for each of AMG Managers High Yield Fund, AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund and AMG Chicago Equity Partners Small Cap Value Fund and separately an amendment, to be effective October 1, 2016, to the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund and AMG Chicago Equity Partners Small Cap Value Fund (collectively, the “Subadvisory Agreements”)1. 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
Agreement and the 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, 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 22-23, 2016, 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.
1 | On September 17, 2015, the Board of Trustees, and separately a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Subadvisory Agreement for each of AMG Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund and AMG Managers Short Duration Government Fund’s Subadvisor for an initial two-year period. |
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 its 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 analyses and reviews of the performance by each Subadvisor of its obligations to a Fund, including without limitation, analysis and review of portfolio and other compliance matters and review of each Subadvisor’s investment performance with respect to 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 Trusts in developing and reviewing information with respect to the initial approval of each Subadvisory Agreement and annual consideration of each Subadvisory Agreement thereafter; prepares recommendations with respect to the continued retention of any Subadvisor or the replacement of any Subadvisor, including at the
74
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
request of the Board; 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, including at the request of the Board; 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 Small Cap Value Fund and AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund, the Trustees noted the affiliation of the 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 AMG Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund, AMG Managers High Yield Fund, AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund and AMG Chicago Equity Partners Small Cap Value Fund. The Trustees also considered the Investment Manager’s risk management processes.
For each applicable 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 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 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
noted that, effective October 1, 2016, the management fee rate for each of AMG Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund, AMG Managers Short Duration Government Fund, AMG Managers High Yield Fund and AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund will be reduced, each of AMG Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund and AMG Managers Short Duration Government Fund will be authorized to pay an administrative fee to the Investment Manager, shares of AMG Managers Short Duration Government Fund will be authorized to pay a shareholder servicing fee and the shareholder servicing fee rate paid by shares of AMG Managers Intermediate Government Fund will be increased and the administrative fee rate paid by each of AMG Managers High Yield Fund and AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund will be reduced. 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 of AMG Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund, AMG Managers Short Duration Government Fund, AMG Managers High Yield Fund and AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund. With respect to AMG Chicago Equity Partners Small Cap Value Fund, the Trustees noted that, effective October 1, 2016, the administrative fee rate paid by the Fund will be reduced. The Trustees also noted that the Investment Manager pays the Subadvisor a subadvisory fee that is equal to the advisory fee that it receives from AMG Chicago Equity Partners Small Cap Value Fund, but that, effective October 1, 2016, the Investment Manager will pay the Subadvisor a subadvisory fee that is a portion of the advisory fee that it receives from that Fund. The Trustees also considered the amount of the advisory fee that will be retained by the Investment Manager after payment of the subadvisory fee with respect to AMG Chicago Equity Partners Small Cap Value Fund effective October 1, 2016. The Trustees also noted any payments that were made from Chicago Equity Partners, LLC (“CEP”) to the Investment Manager, and any other payments made or to be made from the Investment Manager to CEP. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the additional high quality supervisory services
75
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
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 AMG Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund, AMG Managers High Yield Fund, AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund and AMG Chicago Equity Partners Small Cap Value Fund. The Trustees also noted that the changes in fee rates described above would not cause an increase in total Fund expenses.
In addition, 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 of Funds, the cost of providing such services, the entrepreneurial risk undertaken as Investment Manager and sponsor of the Funds 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, AMG Managers High Yield Fund, AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund and AMG Chicago Equity Partners Small Cap Value 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 the impact on profitability of both the current asset levels and any future growth of assets of the Funds. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the current
and revised advisory fee structure, as applicable, 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 (after noting the fee rate changes made at the meeting). 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 a 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 CEP, the Trustees noted that CEP is an affiliate of the Investment Manager, and the Trustees reviewed information regarding the cost to CEP of providing subadvisory services to a Fund and the resulting profitability from such relationship. The Trustees noted that, because CEP is an affiliate of the Investment Manager, a portion of CEP’s revenues or profits might be shared directly or indirectly with 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 and revised subadvisory fee structure, and the services CEP provides in performing its functions under the applicable Subadvisory Agreement. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to CEP is reasonable and that CEP is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the advisory or subadvisory fees at this time (after noting the fee rate changes made at the meeting). Also with respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that as the 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.
76
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
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, 2016 was below, below, below and above, respectively, the median performance of the Peer Group and below, above, above and above, respectively, 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 more recent underperformance. The Trustees also took into account that the Fund ranked in the second quintile relative to its Peer Group for the 10-year period and in the third quintile relative to its Peer Group for the 3-year and 5-year periods, and exceeded the returns of the Fund Benchmark for each of the 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance has been satisfactory.
Advisory Fee.
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses as of March 31, 2016 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 fee is 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, 2016 was above the median performance of the Peer Group and below, above, above and below, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Citigroup Mortgage Index. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including the reasons for the Fund’s more recent underperformance relative to the Fund Benchmark. The Trustees also took into account the fact that the Fund ranked in the top decile relative to its Peer Group for the 3-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 Fee.
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2016 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, 2017, 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 fee is reasonable.
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 (which share class has the largest amount of assets of all the share classes of the Fund) for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2016 was above the median performance of the
Peer Group and below 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 the fact that the Fund ranked in the top quartile relative to its Peer Group for the 1-year and 3-year periods. The Trustees also noted that the Fund’s longer-term performance results ranked strongly relative to its Peer Group and that the Fund ranked in the top decile 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 and Subadvisory Fees.
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fees (which include both the advisory and administration fee) and total expenses (weighted average, all classes combined) (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2016 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, 2017, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.84%. 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 Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
AMG Chicago Equity Partners Small Cap Value Fund
Fund Performance.
Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Service Class shares (which share
77
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
class has the largest amount of assets of all the share classes of the Fund) for the 1-year period ended March 31, 2016 and for the period from the Fund’s inception on December 31, 2014 through March 31, 2016 was below the median performance of the Peer Group and above the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Russell 2000® Value Index. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including the reasons for the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Peer Group. The Trustees also noted that the Fund outperformed the Fund Benchmark for all relevant time periods and that the Fund ranked in the third quartile relative to its Peer Group for the 1-year period and since inception. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance has been satisfactory.
Advisory and Subadvisory Fees.
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fees (which include both the advisory and administration fee) and total expenses (weighted average, all classes combined) (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2016 were both lower than the average for the Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2017, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.95%. 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 Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Investor Class shares (which share class has the earliest inception date and the largest amount of assets of all the share classes of
the Fund) for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2016 was below, below, above and below, 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 underperformance and any actions being taken to address such performance. The Trustees also noted that the Fund ranked in the second quintile relative to its Peer Group for the 5-year period and in the third quintile relative to its Peer Group for the 1-year, 3-year and 10-year periods. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance is being addressed.
Advisory and Subadvisory Fees.
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fees (which include both the advisory and administration fee) and total expenses (weighted average, all classes combined) (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2016 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, 2017, 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 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 Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, 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 22-23, 2016, 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 of AMG Managers High Yield Fund, AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund and AMG Chicago Equity Partners Small Cap Value Fund.

Semi-Annual Report—June 30, 2016 (unaudited)
Nothing contained herein is to be considered an offer, sale or solicitation of an offer to buy shares of any series of the AMG Fund 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.

† | Date reflects the 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, 2016. 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 | Fixed income funds are 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. |
4 | Issuer of bonds may not be able to meet interest or principal payments when the bonds come due. |
5 | High yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”) are subject to increased risks such as the risk of default. |
6 | The use of leverage in a Fund’s strategy can magnify relatively small market movements into relatively larger losses for the Fund. |
7 | Factors unique to the municipal bond market may negatively affect the value in municipal bonds. |
8 | 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 | Closed to new investments. |
10 | 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. |
11 | Investment income may be subject to certain state and local taxes, and depending on your tax status, the federal alternative minimum tax. Capital gains are not exempt from federal income tax. |
12 | The Barclays 10-Year Municipal Bond Index is the 10 year (8-12) component of the Municipal bond index. It is a rules-based, market-value-weighted Index engineered for the tax-exempt bond market. The Index tracks general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, insured bonds, and pre-refunded bonds rated Baa3/ BBB or higher by at least two of the ratings agencies: Moody’s, S&P, Fitch. Unlike the Fund, the Barclays 10-Year Municipal Bond Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment and does not incur expenses. |

Fund Performance (continued)
13 | The performance shown includes that of the predecessor Fund, the BNY Hamilton Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund, a series of BNY Hamilton Funds, Inc., which was reorganized into the GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund, a series of AMG Funds, as of the close of business on November 7, 2008. |
14 | The Barclays U.S. Municipal Bond BAA Index is a subset of the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index with an index rating of Baa1, Baa2, or Baa3. The Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is a rules-based, market-value-weighted index engineered for the long-term, tax-exempt bond market. Unlike the Fund, the Barclays U.S. Municipal Bond Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
15 | The Fund inception dates and returns for all periods beginning prior to November 7, 2008 reflects performance of the predecessor Fund, The BNY Hamilton Multi-Cap Equity Fund, a series of BNY Hamilton Funds, Inc. |
16 | The Fund is subject to risks associated with investments in small-capitalization companies, such as erratic earnings patterns, competitive conditions, limited earnings history, and a reliance on one or a limited number of products. |
17 | The Russell 2000® Index is composed of the 2,000 smallest stocks in the Russell 3000® Index and is widely regarded in the industry as the premier measure of small-cap stock performance. The Russell 3000® Index is composed of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies as measured by market capitalization, and represents about 98% of the U.S. equity market. The Russell 2000® Index and the Russell 3000® Index are unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
18 | The Fund invests in growth stocks, which may be more sensitive to market movements because their prices tend to reflect future investor expectations rather than just current profits. Growth stocks may underperform value stocks during any given period. |
19 | The Russell 2000® Growth Index measures the performance of the Russell 2,000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Unlike the Fund, the Russell 2000® Growth 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, Inc. (“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 and AMG Funds II (the “Trusts”) are open-end management investment companies, organized as Massachusetts business trusts, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Currently, the Trusts consist of a number of different funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks, and policies. Included in this report are AMG Funds: AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund (“Municipal Bond”), AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund (“Municipal Enhanced”), AMG GW&K Small Cap Core Fund (“Small Cap Core”) and AMG GW&K Small Cap Growth Fund (“Small Cap Growth”) and AMG Funds II: AMG GW&K Enhanced Core Bond Fund (“Enhanced Core Bond”), each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds.”
Each Fund has established the following classes of shares: Investor Class, Service Class and Institutional Class. Currently, Enhanced Core Bond, Municipal Bond, Municipal Enhanced and Small Cap Core offer Investor Class, Service Class and Institutional Class Shares. Small Cap Growth offers Institutional Class shares only. Additionally, Enhanced Core Bond established and offers Class C shares. The Small Cap Growth Fund commenced operations on June 30, 2015.
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.
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. Shareholders who redeem Class C shares of the Fund will continue to be subject to the deferred sales charges described in the prospectus. Effective November 1, 2013, Small Cap Core was closed to new investors. Please refer to Enhanced Core Bond’s and Small Cap Core’s current prospectus for additional information.
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 national securities exchange or reported on the NASDAQ national market system (“NMS”) are valued at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange or, if applicable, the NASDAQ official closing price or the official closing price of the relevant exchange or, lacking any sales, at the last quoted bid price or the mean between the last quoted bid and ask prices (the “exchange mean price”). Equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market (other than NMS securities) are valued at the exchange mean
price. Foreign equity securities (securities principally traded in markets other than U.S. markets) are valued at the official closing price on the primary exchange or, for markets that either do not offer an official closing price or where the official closing price may not be representative of the overall market, the last quoted sale price.
Fixed income securities purchased with a remaining maturity exceeding 60 days are valued at the evaluated mean price provided by an authorized pricing service or, if an evaluated price is not available, by reference to other securities which are considered comparable in credit rating, interest rate, due date and other features (generally referred to as “matrix pricing”) or other similar pricing methodologies. 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.
Fixed income securities purchased with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost value is approximately the same as the fair value of the security valued without the use of amortized cost. Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at their end of day net asset value per share.
The Funds’ portfolio 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 Trust (the “Board”). Under certain circumstances, the value of certain Fund portfolio 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 Valuation Committee, which is comprised of the Independent Trustees of the Board, and the Pricing Committee, which is comprised of representatives from AMG Funds LLC (the “Investment Manager”) are the committees appointed by the Board to make fair value determinations. Each Fund 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 readily available or otherwise not determinable pursuant to the Board’s valuation procedures, if the Investment Manager for the Pricing Committee 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 and, if required under the Trust’s securities valuation procedures, the Valuation Committee, seeks to determine the price that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive from current sale of that portfolio 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 and analytical data relating to the investment; 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
44
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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.
With respect to foreign equity securities and certain foreign fixed income securities, the Board has adopted a policy that securities held in a Fund that can be fair valued by the applicable fair value pricing service are fair valued on each business day provided that each individual price exceeds a pre-established confidence level.
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. Transfers
between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.
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. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Dividend and interest income on foreign securities is recorded gross of any withholding tax. 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 Fund no longer owns 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 Trusts and other trusts within AMG Funds family of mutual funds (collectively the “AMG Funds family” and 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.
The following fund had certain portfolio trades directed to various brokers, under a brokerage recapture program, which paid a portion of such Fund’s expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the amount by which the Small Cap Core Fund’s expenses were reduced and the impact on the annualized expense ratios, if any, were as follows: $10,738 or less than 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, 2016, the Funds’ custodian expense was not reduced.
Effective June 1, 2016, the overdraft fees are computed at 1.75% (previously 1.0%) above the effective Federal Funds rate on the day of the overdraft. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, overdraft fees for Enhanced Core Bond, Municipal Bond, Municipal Enhanced, Small Cap Core and Small Cap Growth equaled $23, $596, $24, $0 and $0, respectively.
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
45
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital. 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. Permanent differences are due to tax equalization and temporary differences are due to wash sales.
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 Small Cap Core’s and Small cap Growth’s understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for the foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, Small Cap Core and Small Cap Growth 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, 2015, and for 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, Management is 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, may be carried forward for an unlimited time period, and retain their tax character as either short-term or long-term capital losses.
f. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYOVERS AND DEFERRALS
As of June 30, 2016, the following Funds had accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from securities transactions for federal income tax purposes as shown in the following chart.
| | | | | | | | |
| | Capital Loss Carryover Amounts | |
Fund | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | |
Enhanced Core Bond | | $ | 540,021 | | | $ | 1,682,418 | |
These amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains for an unlimited time period.
As of December 31, 2015, Municipal Bond, Municipal Enhanced, Small Cap Core and Small Cap Growth had no accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from securities transactions for federal income tax purposes. Should Municipal Bond, Municipal Enhanced, Small Cap Core and Small Cap Growth incur net capital losses for the year ended December 31, 2016, such amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains, for an unlimited time period.
g. CAPITAL STOCK
The Trusts’ Declarations of Trust authorize for each Fund 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, 2016 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 2015, the capital stock transactions by class for the Funds were as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
At June 30, 2016, certain unaffiliated shareholders of record, specifically omnibus accounts, individually or collectively held greater than 10% of the net assets of the Funds as follows: Enhanced Core Bond - two collectively own 39%; Municipal Bond - two collectively own 64%; Municipal Enhanced - two collectively own 78%; Small Cap Core - three collectively own 65% and Small Cap Growth - two collectively own 82%. Transactions by these shareholders may have a material impact on their respective Fund.
h. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND JOINT REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements for temporary cash management purposes 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 Funds may be delayed or limited.
Additionally, the Funds may enter into joint repurchase agreements for reinvestment of cash collateral on securities lending transactions under the securities lending program offered by BNYM (the “Program”), provided that the value of the underlying collateral, including accrued interest, will equal or exceed the value of the joint repurchase agreement during the term of the agreement. The Funds participate on a pro rata basis with other clients of BNYM in its share of the underlying collateral under such joint repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of the underlying collateral. The underlying collateral for joint 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 Funds may be delayed or limited. Pursuant to the Program, the Funds are indemnified for such losses by BNYM.
At June 30, 2016, the market value of repurchase agreements or joint repurchase agreements outstanding for Enhanced Core Bond, Small Cap Core and Small Cap Growth were $2,013,479, $25,374,646 and $178,582, respectively.
i. 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. 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 Trusts have 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 GW&K Investment Management, LLC, (GW&K) who serves pursuant to a subadvisory agreement with the Investment Manager. AMG indirectly owns a majority interest in GW&K.
Investment management fees are paid directly by the Funds to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Funds’ investment management fees were paid at the following annual rate of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets:
| | | | |
Enhanced Core Bond | | | 0.45 | % |
Municipal Bond | | | 0.35 | % |
Municipal Enhanced | | | 0.50 | % |
Small Cap Core | | | 0.75 | % |
Small Cap Growth | | | 0.75 | % |
The Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2017, 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 Enhanced Core Bond, Municipal Bond, Municipal Enhanced, Small Cap Core and Small Cap Growth to 0.59%, 0.34%, 0.64%, 0.95% and 0.95%, respectively, of each Fund’s average daily net assets subject to later reimbursement by the Funds in certain circumstances. The contractual expense limitation may only be terminated in the event the Investment Manager or a successor ceases to be the investment manager of the Fund or a successor fund, by mutual agreement between the Investment Manager and the Trust’s Board of Trustees, or in the event of the Fund’s liquidation unless the Fund is reorganized or is a party to a merger in which the surviving entity is successor to the accounting and performance information of the Fund.
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 the Fund’s total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and respective expense reimbursements in any such future year to exceed that Funds’ respective contractual expense limitation amount.

Enhanced Core Bond, Municipal Bond, Municipal Enhanced, Small Cap Core and Small Cap Growth have entered into an Administration and Shareholder Servicing Agreement under which the Investment Manager serves as the Funds’ administrator (the “Administrator”) and provides a variety of administration and shareholder services to the Funds. Enhanced Core Bond pays a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.20% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets for these services. Municipal Bond, Municipal Enhanced, Small Cap Core and Small Cap Growth each pay a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.25% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets for these services.
The Administrator for Municipal Enhanced is voluntarily waiving a portion of its administration fee on 90% of the Fund’s net assets. The waiver, which may be modified or terminated at any time, amounts to 0.10% on the first $250 million of the Fund’s net assets and 0.15% on the remaining net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the amount waived was $109,755 or 0.09%.
The Funds are distributed by AMG 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.
The Trusts have adopted a distribution and service plan (the “Plan”) with respect to the Investor Class shares of each Fund and Class C shares of Enhanced Core Bond, 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 Distributors of up to 0.25% and 1.00% annually of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to the Investor Class and Class C shares, respectively. The Plan further provides for periodic payments by the Trust or the Distributor to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries for providing shareholder services and for promotional and other sales related costs. The portion of payments made under the plan by Class C shares or Investor Class shares for shareholder servicing may not exceed an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of each Fund’s shares of that class owned by clients of such broker, dealer or financial intermediary.
For Enhanced Core Bond’s Service Class and for each of the Investor and Service Classes of Municipal Bond, Municipal Enhanced and Small Cap Core, the Board has approved reimbursement payments to the Investment Manager for shareholder servicing expenses (“shareholder servicing fees”) incurred. 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 Investor and 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, 2016, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Maximum | | | Actual | |
Fund | | Amount Approved | | | Amount Incurred | |
Enhanced Core Bond | | | | | | | | |
Service Class | | | 0.10 | % | | | 0.10 | % |

Service Class | | | 0.25 | % | | | 0.11 | % |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
In June 2016, the Funds’ Board approved a proposal to revise certain fees paid by the Funds. These changes will not increase the overall fees incurred by the Funds or by shareholders of the Funds. These changes will not be effective until October 1, 2016 following execution of all relevant agreements and the filing of revised prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board approved, in some cases, changes to the administrative fee, management fee and/or shareholder servicing fee on certain classes of the Funds. Further details regarding such changes will be available once all relevant agreements are finalized and executed and revised prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Board provides supervision of the affairs of the Trusts, other trusts within the AMG Funds family and other affiliated funds. The Trustees of the Trusts who are not affiliated with an Investment Manager receive an annual retainer and per meeting fees for regular, special and telephonic meetings, and they are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred while carrying out their duties as Board members. The Chairman of the Board and the Audit Committee Chair receive additional annual retainers. Certain Trustees and Officers of the Funds are Officers and/or Directors of the Investment Manager, AMG and/or the Distributor.
The Securities and Exchange Commission granted an exemptive order that permits each fund 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, 2016, the following Funds either borrowed from or lent to other Funds in the AMG Funds family: Enhanced Core Bond lent $1,581,285 for one day earning interest in the amount of $42 and Small Cap Core lent $2,796,955 for four days earning interest in the amount of $278. The interest amount is included in the Statement of Operations as interest income. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, Municipal Bond, Municipal Enhanced and Small Cap Growth neither borrowed from nor lent to other Funds in the AMG Funds family. At June 30, 2016, the Funds had no interfund loans outstanding.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term securities and U.S. Government Obligations) for the six months ended June 30, 2016, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Long-Term Securities | |
Fund | | Purchases | | | Sales | |
Enhanced Core Bond | | $ | 61,051,295 | | | $ | 31,465,822 | |

4. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED
The Funds participate in 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 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 omnibus account managed by BNYM, who is authorized to exclusively enter into joint 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.
At June 30, 2016, the value of the securities loaned and cash collateral received, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Securities | | | Cash Collateral | |
Fund | | Loaned | | | Received | |
Enhanced Core Bond | | $ | 1,946,991 | | | $ | 2,013,479 | |
Small Cap Core | | | 24,689,398 | | | | 25,374,646 | |
Small Cap Growth | | | 174,058 | | | | 178,582 | |
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Under each Trust’s organizational documents, its trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trusts. 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 had no prior claims or losses and expect the risks of loss to be remote.

6. 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 security lending transactions, see Note 4.

At an in-person meeting held on June 22-23, 2016, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of each of AMG Funds and AMG Funds II (each, a “Trust” and collectively, the “Trusts”), and separately a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trusts (the “Independent Trustees”), approved (i) the Investment Management Agreement, as amended at any time prior to the date of the meeting, with AMG Funds LLC (the “Investment Manager”) and each Trust for each of AMG GW&K Small Cap Core Fund, AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund, AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund and AMG GW&K Enhanced Core Bond Fund (each, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”) and separately an amendment, to be effective October 1, 2016, to such Investment Management Agreement for AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund (collectively, the “Investment Management Agreement”) and (ii) the Subadvisory Agreements, as amended at any time prior to the date of the meeting, with respect to each Fund and separately an amendment, to be effective October 1, 2016, to each Subadvisory Agreement with respect to AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund, AMG GW&K Small Cap Core Fund and AMG GW&K Small Cap Growth Fund (collectively, the “Subadvisory Agreements”)1. 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 Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements, 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 for each Fund (each, a “Peer Group”), performance information for the relevant benchmark index for each Fund (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 22-23, 2016, regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor 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 and Subadvisory Agreements; and (c) met with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.
1 | On June 24-25, 2015, the Board of Trustees, and separately a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Manager and the Subadvisory Agreement with the Subadvisor for AMG GW&K Small Cap Growth Fund for an initial two-year period. |
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 its 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 Agreements, 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 Investment Manager’s oversight of
the performance by the Subadvisor of its portfolio management duties; (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 Agreements and supervising the Subadvisor, the Investment Manager: performs periodic detailed analyses and reviews of the performance by the Subadvisor of its obligations to each Fund, including without limitation, analysis and review of portfolio and other compliance matters and review of the Subadvisor’s investment performance with respect to 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 Trusts in developing and reviewing information with respect to the initial approval of each Subadvisory Agreement and annual consideration of each Subadvisory Agreement thereafter; prepares recommendations with respect to the continued retention of the Subadvisor or the replacement of the Subadvisor, including at the request of the Board; 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, including at the request of the Board; 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
52
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
such other review and reporting functions as the Board shall reasonably request consistent with the Investment Management Agreements and applicable law. The Trustees noted the affiliation of the 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 Agreements 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. The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Subadvisor’s financial condition, operations and personnel and the investment philosophy, strategies and techniques (its “Investment Strategy”) used in managing each Fund and AMG GW&K Small Cap Growth Fund. Among other things, the Trustees reviewed biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, information regarding the Subadvisor’s organizational and management structure and the Subadvisor’s brokerage policies and practices. The Trustees considered specific information provided regarding the experience of the individuals at the Subadvisor with portfolio management responsibility for the Funds, including the information set forth in each 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 the 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 the Subadvisor with respect to its ability to provide the services required under each Subadvisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered the 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 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 each Fund’s performance results and portfolio composition, as well as the 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 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.
With respect to AMG GW&K Small Cap Core Fund, among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Investor Class shares (which share class has the earliest inception date of all the share classes of the Fund) for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2016 was above the median performance of the Peer Group and above the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including its more recent improved performance relative to the Peer Group and Fund Benchmark. The Trustees noted that the Fund ranked in the top quintile relative to its Peer Group for the 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance has been satisfactory.
With respect to AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund, among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Institutional Class shares (which share class has the earliest inception date and the largest amount of assets of all the share classes of the Fund) for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2016 was above the median performance of the Peer Group and above the performance of the Fund
Benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Municipal Bond BAA Index. The Trustees noted that the Fund ranked in the top quintile relative to the Peer Group for the 5-year and 10-year periods and in the top quartile relative to its Peer Group for the 3-year period. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance has been satisfactory.
With respect to AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund, among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Institutional Class shares (which share class has the largest amount of assets of all the share classes of the Fund) for the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year periods ended March 31, 2016 and for the period from the Fund’s inception on June 30, 2009 through March 31, 2016 was above the median performance of the Peer Group and below the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Barclays 10-Year Municipal Bond Index. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including the reasons for the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Fund Benchmark. The Trustees also noted that the Fund ranked in the top quintile relative to its Peer Group for all relevant time periods. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance has been satisfactory.
With respect to AMG GW&K Enhanced Core Bond Fund, among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Institutional Class shares (which share class has the largest amount of assets of all the share classes of the Fund) for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2016 was below, below, above and above, respectively, the median performance of the Peer Group and below, below, below and above, respectively, 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 performance, including the reasons for the Fund’s recent underperformance. The Trustees noted that the Fund ranked in the top quintile relative to its Peer Group for the 10-year period, in the second
53
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
quartile relative to its Peer Group for the 5-year period and in the third quartile relative to its Peer Group for the 3-year period. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance is being addressed.
ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY FEES AND PROFITABILITY.
In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee payable to the Investment Manager, the Trustees 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 of Funds, the cost of providing such services, the entrepreneurial risk undertaken as Investment Manager and sponsor of the Funds and the resulting profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from these relationships. The Trustees noted that, effective October 1, 2016, the management fee rate for AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund will be reduced and the administrative fee rate paid by AMG GW&K Small Cap Core Fund, AMG GW&K Small Cap Growth Fund, AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund, AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund and AMG GW&K Enhanced Core Bond Fund will be reduced and the shareholder servicing fee rate paid by Service Class shares of AMG GW&K Small Cap Core Fund, AMG GW&K Small Cap Growth Fund, AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund and AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund will be reduced. The Trustees further noted that the Investment Manager and the Subadvisor are affiliated and that, in the case of AMG GW&K Small Cap Growth Fund, AMG GW&K Small Cap Core Fund and AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund, the Investment Manager pays the Subadvisor a subadvisory fee that is equal to the advisory fee that it receives from the Fund, but that effective October 1, 2016, the Investment Manager will pay the Subadvisor a subadvisory fee that is a portion of the advisory fee that it receives from each of AMG GW&K Small
Cap Growth Fund, AMG GW&K Small Cap Core Fund and AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund. The Trustees also considered the amount of the advisory fee that will be retained by the Investment Manager after payment of the subadvisory fee with respect to AMG GW&K Small Cap Growth Fund, AMG GW&K Small Cap Core Fund and AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund effective October 1, 2016. In the case of AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund and AMG GW&K Enhanced Core Bond Fund, the Trustees also considered the amount of the advisory fee retained by the Investment Manager after payment of the subadvisory fee with respect to the Fund. The Trustees also noted any payments that were made from the Subadvisor to the Investment Manager, and any other payments made or to be made from the Investment Manager to the Subadvisor. The Trustees also considered management’s discussion of the current asset levels of the Funds, and the impact on profitability of both the current asset levels and any future growth of assets of the Funds. The Trustees also noted that the changes in fee rates described above would not cause an increase in total Fund expenses.
In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Investment Manager under each Investment Management Agreement and the profitability to the Investment Manager of its relationship with the Funds, the Trustees noted the undertaking by the Investment Manager to maintain contractual expense limitations for the Funds. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the current and revised advisory fee structure, as applicable, and, as noted above, the services the Investment Manager provides in performing its functions under each Investment Management Agreement and supervising the Subadvisor. 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 fee at this time (after noting the fee rate changes made at the meeting). 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 considering the reasonableness of the subadvisory fees payable by the Investment Manager to the Subadvisor, the Trustees reviewed information regarding the cost of providing subadvisory services to each of the Funds and the resulting profitability to the Subadvisor from these relationships. The Trustees noted that, because the Subadvisor is an affiliate of the Investment Manager, a portion of the Subadvisor’s revenues or profits might be shared directly or indirectly with 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 and revised subadvisory fee structure, as applicable, and the services the Subadvisor provides in performing its functions under each Subadvisory Agreement. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Subadvisor is reasonable and that the Subadvisor is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the advisory or subadvisory fees at this time (after noting the fee rate changes made at the meeting). 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.
With respect to AMG GW&K Small Cap Core Fund, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fees (which include both the advisory and administration fee) and total expenses (weighted average, all classes combined) (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2016 were higher and lower, respectively, than the average for the Fund’s Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2017, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to
54
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
0.95%. The Trustees also took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses and competitiveness with 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 Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
With respect to AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fees (which include both the advisory and administration fee) and total expenses (weighted average, all classes combined) (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2016 were higher and lower, respectively, than the average for the Fund’s Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2017, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.64%. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses and competitiveness with 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 Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
With respect to AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fees (which include both the advisory and administration fee) and total expenses (weighted average, all classes combined) (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2016 were higher and lower, respectively, than the average for the Fund’s Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through at
least May 1, 2017, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.34%. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses and competitiveness with 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 Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
With respect to AMG GW&K Enhanced Core Bond Fund, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fees (which include both the advisory and administration fee) and total expenses (weighted average, all classes combined) (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2016 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, 2017, 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 and competitiveness with 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 Investment Manager and the Subadvisor, 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 and Subadvisory Agreements: (a) the Investment Manager has demonstrated that it possesses the resources and capability to perform its duties under each
Investment Management Agreement; (b) the Subadvisor has the resources to perform its duties under each Subadvisory Agreement and is qualified to manage each Fund’s assets in accordance with its investment objectives and policies; and (c) the Investment Manager and 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 each Investment Management Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, on June 22-23, 2016, the Trustees, and separately a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Investment Management Agreement for each Fund and the Subadvisory Agreements for each of AMG GW&K Small Cap Core Fund, AMG GW&K Small Cap Growth Fund, AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund, AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund and AMG GW&K Enhanced Core Bond Fund.
