Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Funds’ shareholder reports like this one will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Funds or from your financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or bank. Instead, the reports will be made available on the Funds’ website (https://www.amgfunds.com/resources/order_literature.html), and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Funds electronically at any time by contacting your financial intermediary or, if you invest directly with the Funds, by logging into your account at www.amgfunds.com.
You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. If you invest directly with the Funds, you can call 1.800.548.4539 to inform the Funds that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds in the AMG Funds Family of Funds held in your account if you invest through your financial intermediary or all funds in the AMG Funds Family of Funds held with the fund complex if you invest directly with the Funds.

Semi-Annual Report — June 30, 2019(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.

† | 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, 2019. All returns are in U.S. dollars ($). |
2 | From time to time, the Fund’s adviser has waived its fees and/or absorbed Fund expenses, which has resulted in higher returns. |
3 | 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. |
4 | 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. 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. |
5 | 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. |
6 | The Fund is subject to risks associated with investments inmid-capitalization companies such as greater price volatility, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than the stocks of larger, more established companies. |
7 | 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. |
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 Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index represents securities that areSEC-registered, taxable, and dollar denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
10 | The Fund may invest in derivatives such as options and futures; the complexity and rapidly changing structure of derivatives markets may increase the possibility of market losses. |
11 | 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. |

12 | 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 would provide financial support. Additionally, debt securities of the U.S. government may be affected by changing interest rates and subject to prepayment risk. |
13 | The FTSE 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. Prior to July 31, 2018, the FTSE Mortgage Index was known as the Citigroup Mortgage Index. Unlike the Fund, the FTSE Mortgage |
Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses.
14 | The ICE BofAML US6-Month Treasury Bill Index is an unmanaged index that measures returns ofsix-month Treasury Bills. Unlike the Fund, the ICE BofAML US6-Month Treasury Bill 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.

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 II (the “Trust”) is anopen-end management investment company, organized as a Massachusetts business trust, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Currently, the Trust consists of a number of different funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks, and policies. Included in this report are AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund (“Balanced”), AMG Managers Amundi Intermediate Government Fund (“Intermediate Government”) and AMG Managers Amundi Short Duration Government Fund (“Short Duration”), each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”.
Each Fund offers different classes of shares. Each Fund offers Class N, Class I and Class Z shares. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the respective Fund. Although all share classes generally have identical voting rights, each share class votes separately when required by law. Different share classes may have different net asset values per share to the extent the share classes pay different distribution amounts 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”), including accounting and reporting guidance pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies. U.S. GAAP requires 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 theover-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 otheropen-end registered 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 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 Funds, including a comparison with the prior quarter end and the percentage of the Funds 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 the Funds 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 apre-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
44
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
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, swaps, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, fair valued securities with observable inputs)
Level 3 – inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., fair valued securities with unobservable inputs)
Changes in inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may result in a transfer in or out of levels within the fair value hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may not necessarily be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
b. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS
Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
c. INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSES
Dividend income is recorded on theex-dividend date. Dividends from foreign securities are recorded on theex-dividend date, and if after the fact, as soon as the Funds become aware of theex-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. Upon notification from issuers, distributions received from a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of investments and/or 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 or funds within the AMG Funds family of mutual funds (collectively the “AMG Funds Family”) 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 apro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of each Fund.
Balanced had certain portfolio trades directed to various brokers under a brokerage recapture program. Credits received from the brokerage recapture
program are earned and paid on a monthly basis, and are recorded as expense offsets, which serve to reduce the Fund’s overall expense ratio. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the impact on the expenses and expense ratios, if any, was $8,089 or less than 0.01% of average net assets.
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. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex-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 topaid-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 redesignation of dividends paid, foreign currency and tax adjustments relating to corporate actions. Temporary differences are due to capital loss deferrals on straddles, qualified late-year loss deferrals, wash sales and capital loss carryforwards not yet utilized.
At June 30, 2019, the aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes approximates the aggregate cost for book purposes. The approximate cost of investments and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Cost | | | Appreciation | | | Depreciation | | | Net | |
Balanced | | $ | 246,897,718 | | | $ | 22,024,499 | | | $ | (2,749,189 | ) | | $ | 19,275,310 | |
Intermediate Government | | | 101,536,994 | | | | 1,039,490 | | | | (287,652 | ) | | | 751,838 | |
Short Duration | | | 127,615,597 | | | | 2,105,010 | | | | (296,642 | ) | | | 1,808,368 | |
e. FEDERAL TAXES
Each Fund currently qualifies as an investment company and intends to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and gains to its shareholders and to meet certain diversification and income requirements with respect to investment companies. Therefore, no provision for federal income or excise tax is included in the accompanying financial statements.
Additionally, based on each Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for the foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, each Fund will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign taxes.
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns as of December 31, 2018, 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.

f. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYOVERS AND DEFERRALS
As of December 31, 2018, the following Funds had capital loss carryovers for federal income tax purposes as shown in the following chart. These amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term.

As of December 31, 2018, Balanced had no capital loss carryovers for federal income tax purposes. Should Balanced incur net capital losses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, such amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term.
g. CAPITAL STOCK
The Trust’s 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.

h. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND JOINT REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Funds may enter into third-party repurchase agreements for temporary cash management purposes and third-party or bilateral joint repurchase agreements for reinvestment of cash collateral on securities lending transactions under the securities lending program offered by The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”) (the “Program”) (collectively, “Repurchase Agreements”). The value of the underlying collateral, including accrued interest, must equal or exceed the value of the Repurchase Agreements during the term of the agreement. For joint repurchase agreements, 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 all Repurchase Agreements is held in safekeeping by the Funds’ 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 on joint repurchase agreements.
At June 30, 2019, the market value of Repurchase Agreements outstanding for Balanced was $1,900,581.
i. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of investments, assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon current foreign exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investments, income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based on currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign
currency transactions represent: (1) foreign exchange gains and losses from the sale and holdings of foreign currencies; (2) gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions and foreign currency exchange contracts; and (3) gains and losses from the difference between amounts of interest and dividends recorded and the amounts actually received.
The Funds do not isolate the net realized and unrealized gain or loss resulting from changes in exchange rates from the fluctuations in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
j. SECURITIES TRANSACTED ON A WHEN ISSUED BASIS
The Funds may enter intoTo-Be-Announced (“TBA”) sale commitments to hedge their portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities they own 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, with the same counterparty, 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 TBA contract ismarked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment with the same broker, the Fund realizes a gain or loss. If the Fund delivers securities under
47
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
the commitment, the Fund realizes 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.
k. 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. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as an investment in securities and a forward sale commitment in the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset the receivable and payable for delayed delivery investments purchased and sold on TBA commitments. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
2. AGREEMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
For each of the Funds, the Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement under which the Investment Manager, a subsidiary and the U.S. retail distribution arm of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (“AMG”), serves as investment manager to the Funds and is responsible for the Funds’ overall administration and operations. The Investment Manager selects one or more subadvisers for the Funds (subject to Board approval) and monitors each subadviser’s investment performance, security holdings and investment strategies. Each Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by one or more portfolio managers who serve pursuant to a subadvisory agreement with the Investment Manager. Balanced is managed by Chicago Equity Partners, LLC (“CEP”) and Intermediate Government and Short Duration are managed by Amundi Pioneer Institutional Asset Management, Inc. 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, 2019, the Funds’ investment management fees were paid at the following annual rate of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets:
| | | | |
Balanced | | | 0.60 | % |
Intermediate Government | | | 0.48 | % |
Short Duration | | | 0.40 | % |
The Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2020, to waive management fees and/or pay 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, and in connection with securities sold short), shareholder servicing fees, distribution and service(12b-1) fees,
brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, dividends payable with respect to securities sold short, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) of Balanced and Intermediate Government to the annual rate of 0.84% and 0.74%, respectively, of each Fund’s average daily net assets (this annual rate or such other annual rate that may be in effect from time to time, the “Expense Cap”), subject to later reimbursement by the Funds in certain circumstances.
The Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2020, to waive Intermediate Government’s management fee by 0.05%, from 0.48% to 0.43%, and Short Duration’s management fee by 0.11%, from 0.40% to 0.29%. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the management fee for Intermediate Government and Short Duration was reduced by $18,785 and $70,681, respectively.
The contractual expense limitation may only be terminated in the event the Investment Manager or a successor ceases to be the investment manager of a Fund or a successor fund, by mutual agreement between the Investment Manager and the Board, or in the event of a 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 a Fund.
In general, for a period of up to 36 months, the Investment Manager may recover from each Fund fees waived and expenses paid pursuant to this contractual agreement, provided that such repayment would not cause a Fund’s total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of the items noted in the parenthetical above) to exceed the contractual expense limitation amount.
At June 30, 2019, the Funds’ expiration of reimbursements subject to recoupment is as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Expiration Period | | Balanced | | | Intermediate Government | |
Less than 1 year | | $ | 172,173 | | | $ | 106,739 | |
1-2 years | | | 75,267 | | | | 130,560 | |
2-3 years | | | 165,084 | | | | 100,572 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total | | $ | 412,524 | | | $ | 337,871 | |
| | | | | | | | |
The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has entered into an amended and restated Administration Agreement under which the Investment Manager serves as the Funds’ administrator (the “Administrator”) and is responsible for allnon-portfolio management aspects of managing the Funds’ operations, including administration and shareholder services to each Fund. Each Fund pays a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.15% per annum of the 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. 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.
48
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
Balanced has adopted a distribution and service plan (the “Plan”) with respect to the Class N shares, in accordance with the requirements of Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act and the requirements of the applicable rules of FINRA regarding asset based sales charges. Pursuant to the Plan, the Fund may make payments to the Distributor for its expenditures in financing any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of the Fund’s Class N 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 the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class N shares.
For Class N of Intermediate Government and Short Duration, and Class I of Balanced, Intermediate Government and Short Duration, the Board has approved reimbursement payments to the Investment Manager for shareholder servicing expenses (“shareholder servicing fees”) incurred. Shareholder servicing fees include payments to financial intermediaries, such as broker-dealers (including fund supermarket platforms), banks, and trust companies who provide shareholder recordkeeping, account servicing and other services. Class N shares of Intermediate Government and Short Duration and Class I shares of Balanced, Intermediate Government and Short Duration 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, 2019, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Maximum Annual Amount | | | Actual Amount | |
Fund | | Approved | | | Incurred | |
Balanced | | | | | | | | |
Class I | | | 0.10 | % | | | 0.09 | % |
Intermediate Government | | | | | | | | |
Class N | | | 0.15 | % | | | 0.15 | % |
Class I | | | 0.05 | % | | | 0.05 | % |
Short Duration | | | | | | | | |
Class N | | | 0.15 | % | | | 0.15 | % |
Class I | | | 0.05 | % | | | 0.05 | % |
The Board provides supervision of the affairs of the Trust and other trusts within the AMG Funds family. The Trustees of the Trust who are not affiliated with the Investment Manager receive an annual retainer and per meeting fees for regular, special and telephonic meetings, and they are reimbursed forout-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 (the “SEC”) granted an exemptive order that permits the Funds to lend and borrow money for certain temporary purposes directly to and from other eligible funds in the AMG Funds family. Participation in this interfund lending program is voluntary for both the borrowing and lending funds, and an interfund loan is only made if it benefits each participating fund. The Administrator manages 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, 2019, Intermediate Government lent a maximum of $4,508,566 for two days earning interest of $718. The interest income amount is included in the Statement of Operations as interest income. Balanced borrowed a maximum of $4,671,076 for two days paying interest of $845. The interest expense amount is included in the Statement of Operations as miscellaneous expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, Short Duration neither borrowed from nor lent to other funds in the AMG Funds family. At June 30, 2019, 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, 2019, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Long Term Securities | |
Fund | | Purchases | | | Sales | |
Balanced | | $ | 102,565,973 | | | $ | 115,692,656 | |
Intermediate Government | | | 437,842 | | | | 402,130 | |
Short Duration | | | 1,728,817 | | | | 2,048,850 | |
Purchases and sales of U.S. Government Obligations for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | U.S. Government Obligations | |
Fund | | Purchases | | | Sales | |
Balanced | | $ | 56,875,602 | | | $ | 50,984,896 | |
Intermediate Government | | | 714,260 | | | | 4,062,329 | |
Short Duration | | | 2,574,453 | | | | 17,153,257 | |
4. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED
The Funds participate in the Program providing for the lending of securities to qualified borrowers. 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 or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations. Collateral 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 separate omnibus accounts managed by BNYM, who is authorized to exclusively enter into joint repurchase agreements for that cash collateral. Securities collateral is held in separate omnibus accounts managed by BNYM that cannot be sold or pledged. 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.
49
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
The value of securities loaned on positions held, cash and securities collateral received at June 30, 2019, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Securities Loaned | | | Cash Collateral Received | | | Securities Collateral Received | | | Total Collateral Received | |
Balanced | | $ | 9,585,906 | | | $ | 1,900,581 | | | $ | 9,368,058 | | | $ | 11,268,639 | |
Additionally, Balanced sold two securities for $6,710,805, which were still out on loan as of June 30, 2019. The proceeds are reflected in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities under Receivable for investments sold.
The following table summarizes the securities received as collateral for securities lending at June 30, 2019:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Collateral Type | | Coupon Range | | | Maturity Date Range | |
Balanced | | U.S. Treasury Obligations | | | 0.000 | %-8.750% | | | 07/16/19-11/15/48 | |
5. FOREIGN SECURITIES
Balanced invests in securities of foreign entities and in instruments denominated in foreign currencies which involve risks not typically associated with investments in domestic securities.Non-domestic securities carry special risks, such as exposure to currency fluctuations, less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability, a lack of company information, differing auditing and legal standards, and, potentially, less liquidity. The Fund’s investments in emerging market countries are exposed to additional risks. The Fund’s performance will be influenced by political, social and economic factors affecting companies in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries generally have economic structures that are less diverse and mature, and political systems that are less stable, than those of developed countries. Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the Fund level and the Fund would pay such foreign taxes at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction.
6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the Funds under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against a Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds had no prior claims or losses and expect the risks of loss to be remote.
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, and results of operations. The location and fair value amounts of these instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and the realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized gains and losses on the Statement of Operations, each categorized by type of derivative contract, are included in a table at the end of the applicable Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the average quarterly balances of derivative financial instruments outstanding were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Intermediate Government | | | Short Duration | |
Financial Futures Contracts | | | | | |
Average number of contracts purchased | | | 4 | | | | 50 | |
Average number of contracts sold | | | 85 | | | | 467 | |
Average notional value of contracts purchased | | $ | 574,891 | | | $ | 6,029,329 | |
Average notional value of contracts sold | | $ | 9,556,873 | | | $ | 85,507,820 | |
| | | | | | | | |
8. FUTURES CONTRACTS
Intermediate Government and Short Duration purchased and sold 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 variation margin payments are made or received by the Funds depending on the fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and the value of cash or securities on deposit with the futures broker. The Funds must have total value at the futures broker consisting of either net unrealized gains, cash or securities collateral to meet the initial margin requirement, and any value over the initial margin requirement may be transferred to the Funds.
Variation margin on future contracts is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the futures contract is closed or expired. 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. 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.
As of June 30, 2019, Intermediate Government had an amount of $79,501 with the futures broker. The amount consisted of $166,778 in cash deposited with the futures broker and unrealized depreciation of $87,277 on open futures contracts. Intermediate Government used $57,100 of cash collateral to cover initial margin requirements.
As of June 30, 2019, Short Duration had an amount of $426,397 with the futures broker. The amount consisted of $1,228,529 in cash deposited with the futures broker and unrealized depreciation of $802,132 on open futures contracts. Short Duration used $254,090 of cash collateral to cover initial margin requirements.
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
50
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
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
The Funds 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
Intermediate Government and Short Duration may invest in stripped securities (“STRIPS”) for hedging purposes to protect the Funds’ portfolios against interest rate fluctuations. 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 the Funds’ 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 thenon-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.

Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements
At anin-person meeting held on June 27, 2019, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”), and separately a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of AMG Funds II (the “Trust”) (the “Independent Trustees”), approved (i) the Investment Management Agreement, as amended pursuant to letter agreements at any time prior to the date of the meeting, with AMG Funds LLC (the “Investment Manager”) for each of AMG Managers Amundi Intermediate Government Fund, AMG Managers Amundi Short Duration Government Fund and AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”) and separately each of Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 thereto dated July 1, 2015, and Amendment No. 3 thereto dated October 1, 2016 (collectively, the “Investment Management Agreement”) and (ii) the Subadvisory Agreement, as amended at any time prior to the date of the meeting, with the applicable Subadviser for each Fund (collectively, the “Subadvisory Agreements”). 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 Subadviser, 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 other information provided to them on a periodic basis throughout the year, as well as information provided in connection with their meeting held on June 27, 2019, regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisers under their respective agreements and other relevant matters. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees: (a) reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel; (b) received materials from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements; and (c) met with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.
NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees reviewed information relating to the Investment Manager’s operations and personnel.
Among other things, the Investment Manager provided financial information, information about 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 under the Investment Management Agreement and Administration Agreement. In the course of their deliberations regarding the Investment Manager, 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 Subadvisers; (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 Subadviser, the Investment Manager: performs periodic detailed analyses and reviews of the performance by each Subadviser of its obligations to a Fund, including without limitation, analysis and review of portfolio and other compliance matters and review of each Subadviser’s investment performance with respect to a Fund; prepares and presents periodic reports to the Board regarding the investment performance of each Subadviser and other information regarding each Subadviser, at such times and in such forms as the Board may reasonably request; reviews and considers any changes in the personnel of each Subadviser responsible for performing the Subadviser’s obligations and makes appropriate reports to the Board; reviews and considers any changes in the ownership or senior management of each Subadviser and makes appropriate reports to the Board; performs periodicin-person or telephonic diligence meetings, including with respect to compliance matters, with representatives of each Subadviser; assists the Board and management of the Trust 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 Subadviser or the replacement of any Subadviser, including at the request of the Board; identifies potential successors to, or
replacements of, any Subadviser or potential additional subadvisers, including performing appropriate due diligence, and developing and presenting to the Board a recommendation as to any such successor, replacement, or additional subadviser, 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 Balanced Fund, the Trustees noted the affiliation of the Subadviser 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 Amundi Intermediate Government Fund and AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund and to implement a contractual expense limitation, effective August 1, 2019, for AMG Managers Amundi Short Duration Government Fund. The Trustees also considered the Investment Manager’s risk management processes.
For each Fund, the Trustees also reviewed information relating to each Subadviser’s operations and personnel and the investment philosophy, strategies and techniques (for each Subadviser, its “Investment Strategy”) used in managing the Fund. Among other things, the Trustees reviewed information on portfolio management and other professional staff, information regarding each Subadviser’s organizational and management structure and each Subadviser’s brokerage policies and practices. The Trustees considered specific information provided regarding the experience of the individuals at the Subadviser 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 Subadviser in the past; (b) the qualifications and experience of the Subadviser’s personnel; and (c) the Subadviser’s compliance program. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of each Subadviser with respect to its ability to provide the services required under its
53
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements(continued)
Subadvisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered each Subadviser’s risk management processes.
PERFORMANCE
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 Subadviser’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 Subadviser’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 Subadviser. The Board was mindful of the Investment Manager’s attention to monitoring each Subadviser’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 Subadviser and, therefore, that the fees paid to the Investment Manager cover the cost of providing portfolio management services as well as the cost of providing search, selection and monitoring services in operating a“manager-of-managers” complex of mutual funds. The Trustees also considered the amount of the advisory fee retained by the Investment Manager after payment of the subadvisory fee
with respect to each Fund. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the high quality supervisory services provided by the Investment Manager and the fact that the subadvisory fees are paid out of the advisory fee, the advisory fee payable by each Fund to the Investment Manager can reasonably be expected to exceed the median advisory fee for the Peer Group, which consists of many funds that do not operate with amanager-of-managers structure. In this regard, the Trustees also noted that the Investment Manager has undertaken to maintain contractual expense limitations for AMG Managers Amundi Intermediate Government Fund and AMG Chicago Equity Partners
Balanced Fund and to implement a contractual expense limitation, effective August 1, 2019, for AMG Managers Amundi Short Duration Government Fund.
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 anyso-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 significant risks undertaken as Investment Manager and sponsor of the Funds, including investment, operational, enterprise, entrepreneurial, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks; 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 the Funds from time to
time as a means of limiting total expenses. The Trustees also considered management’s discussion of the current asset levels of the Funds, and 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 advisory fee structure, and the services the Investment Manager provides in performing its functions under the Investment Management Agreement and supervising each Subadviser. In this regard, the Trustees noted that, unlike a mutual fund that is managed by a single investment adviser, the Funds operate in amanager-of-managers structure. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Investment Manager is reasonable and that the Investment Manager is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the advisory fees for any Fund at this time. With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees also noted that as a Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund may realize other economies of scale to the extent that the increase in assets is proportionally greater than the increase in certain other expenses.
SUBADVISORY FEES AND PROFITABILITY
In considering the reasonableness of the subadvisory fee payable by the Investment Manager to Amundi Pioneer Institutional Asset Management,
Inc. (“Amundi”), 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 themanager-of-managers structure, noting that the Investment Manager is not affiliated with Amundi. In addition, the Trustees considered other potential benefits of the subadvisory relationship to Amundi, including, among others, the indirect benefits that Amundi may receive from its relationship with a Fund, including anyso-called “fallout benefits” to Amundi, such as reputational value derived from Amundi serving as Subadviser to a Fund, which bears Amundi’s name. 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 Amundi and the profitability to Amundi of its relationship with a 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 Amundi to be a material factor in their deliberations at this time.
In considering the reasonableness of the subadvisory fees payable by the Investment Manager to Chicago Equity Partners, LLC (“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 AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced 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 subadvisory fee structure, and the services CEP provides in performing its functions under the 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 subadvisory fees at this time. 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.
54
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements(continued)
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 Subadviser.
AMG MANAGERS AMUNDI SHORT DURATION GOVERNMENT FUND
FUND PERFORMANCE
Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Class N shares (which share class has the earliest inception date and the largest amount of assets of all the share classes of the Fund) for the1-year,3-year,5-year and10-year periods ended March 31, 2019 was below the median performance of the Peer Group and below, below, below and above, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the ICE BofAML U.S.6-Month Treasury Bill Index. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including the reasons for the Fund’s more recent underperformance and any actions being taken to address such underperformance. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance is being addressed.
ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY FEES
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s management fees (which include both the advisory and administration fees) and total expenses (weighted average, all classes combined) (net of applicable fee waivers) as of March 31, 2019 were both higher than the average for the Fund’s Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that, effective August 1, 2019, the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2021, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.70%. In addition, the Trustees noted that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2020, to waive the Fund’s advisory fee by 0.11%, from 0.40% to 0.29%. The Trustees also 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 Subadviser, the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
AMG MANAGERS AMUNDI INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT FUND
FUND PERFORMANCE
Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Class N shares (which share class has the earliest inception date and the largest amount of assets of all the share classes of the Fund) for the1-year,3-year,5-year and10-year periods ended March 31, 2019 was below, above, 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 FTSE Mortgage Index. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including its more recent underperformance relative to the Fund Benchmark. The Trustees also took into account the fact that Class N shares of the Fund ranked in the top decile relative to its Peer Group for the10-year period and in the top quartile relative to its Peer Group for the5-year period. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance has been satisfactory in light of the Fund’s investment objective, strategies and policies.
ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY FEES
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s management fees (which include both the advisory and administration fees) and total expenses (weighted average, all classes combined) (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2019 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, 2020, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.74%. In addition, the Trustees noted that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2020, to waive the Fund’s advisory fee by 0.05%, from 0.48% to 0.43%. The Trustees also 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 Subadviser, the
foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are 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 Class N shares (which share class has one of the earliest inception dates and the largest amount of assets of all the share classes of the Fund with that inception date) for the1-year,3-year,5-year and10-year periods ended March 31, 2019 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% Bloomberg 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 underperformance relative to the Fund Benchmark. The Trustees also took into account the fact that Class N shares of the Fund ranked in the top quintile relative to its Peer Group for the5-year period. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance has been satisfactory in light of the Fund’s investment objective, strategies and policies.
ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY FEES
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s management fees (which include both the advisory and administration fees) and total expenses (weighted average, all classes combined) (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2019 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, 2020, 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. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and
55
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements(continued)
the Subadviser (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 Subadviser, 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 Subadviser 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 and (b) the Investment Manager and each Subadviser 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 27, 2019, the Trustees, and separately a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Investment Management and the Subadvisory Agreements for each Fund.

Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Funds’ shareholder reports like this one will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Funds or from your financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or bank. Instead, the reports will be made available on the Funds’ website (https://www.amgfunds.com/resources/order_literature.html), and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications from the Funds electronically at any time by contacting your financial intermediary or, if you invest directly with the Funds, by logging into your account at www.amgfunds.com.
You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you can contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. If you invest directly with the Funds, you can call 1.800.548.4539 to inform the Funds that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds in the AMG Funds Family of Funds held in your account if you invest through your financial intermediary or all funds in the AMG Funds Family of Funds held with the fund complex if you invest directly with the Funds.

Semi-Annual Report — June 30, 2019(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 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.

† | 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, 2019. 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 | 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. 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. |
4 | 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. |
5 | High-yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”) may be subject to greater levels of interest rate, credit, and liquidity risk than investments in higher rated securities. These securities are considered predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments. The issuers of the Fund’s holdings may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations, or financial restructurings, and are not as strong financially as higher-rated issuers. |
6 | 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. |
7 | 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 would provide financial support. Additionally, debt securities of the U.S. government may be affected by changing interest rates and subject to prepayment risk. |
8 | Applying the Fund’s ESG investment criteria may result in the selection or exclusion of securities of certain issuers for reasons other than performance, and the Fund may underperform funds that do not utilize an ESG investment strategy. The application of this strategy may affect the Fund’s exposure to certain companies, sectors, regions, countries or types of investments, which could negatively impact the Fund’s performance depending on whether such investments |

| are in or out of favor. Applying ESG criteria to investment decisions is qualitative and subjective by nature, and there is no guarantee that the criteria utilized by the Subadviser or any judgment exercised by the Subadviser will reflect the beliefs or values of any particular investor. |
9 | Factors unique to the municipal bond market may negatively affect the value in municipal bonds. |
10 | 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. |
11 | Companies that are in similar businesses may be similarly affected by particular economic or market events; to the extent the Fund has substantial holdings within a particular sector, the risks associated with that sector increase. |
12 | The Fund may invest in derivatives such as options and futures; the complexity and rapidly changing structure of derivatives markets may increase the possibility of market losses. |
13 | The use of leverage in a Fund’s strategy, such as futures and forward commitment transactions, can magnify relatively small market movements into relatively larger losses for the Fund. |
14 | 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. |
15 | The Fund is subject to risks associated with investments inmid-capitalization companies such as greater price volatility, lower trading volume, and less |
| liquidity than the stocks of larger, more established companies. |
16 | 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 given periods. |
17 | 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. |
18 | The Bloomberg 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 Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment and does not incur expenses. |
19 | The Bloomberg Barclays10-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 thetax-exempt bond market. The Index tracks general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, insured bonds, and prerefunded bonds ratedBaa3/BBB- or higher by at least two of the ratings agencies: Moody’s, S&P, Fitch. Unlike the Fund, the Bloomberg Barclays10-Year Municipal Bond Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment and does not incur expenses. |
20 | The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Municipal Bond BAA Index is a subset of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Municipal Bond Index with an index rating of Baa1, Baa2, or Baa3. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Municipal Bond Index is a rules-based, market-value-weighted index engineered for the long-term,tax-exempt bond market. Unlike the Fund, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Municipal Bond BAA Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment and does not incur expenses. |
21 | 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 ofsmall-cap stock performance. Unlike the Fund, the Russell 2000® Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment and does not incur expenses. |
22 | The Russell 2500® Index is composed of the 2,500 smallest stocks in the Russell 3000® Index and is widely regarded in the industry as the premier measure of small/mid cap stock performance. Unlike the Fund, the Russell 2500® 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.

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”) areopen-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/Mid Cap Fund (“Small/Mid Cap”) and AMG Funds II: AMG GW&K Enhanced Core Bond ESG Fund (“Enhanced Core Bond ESG”) (formerly AMG GW&K Enchanced Core Bond Fund), each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”.
Each Fund offers different classes of shares. Each Fund offers Class N and Class I shares, and Enhanced Core Bond ESG, Municipal Enhanced, Small Cap Core, and Small/Mid Cap offer Class Z shares. Effective May 31, 2019, Enhanced Core Bond ESG Class C shares were converted to Class N shares. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the respective Fund. Although all share classes generally have identical voting rights, each share class votes separately when required by law. Different share classes may have different net asset values per share to the extent the share classes pay different distribution amounts 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.
Class C shares of Enhanced Core Bond ESG prior to converting to Class N Shares on May 31, 2019, were closed to all new investors and were not available for purchase by existing shareholders. Shareholders who redeemed Class C shares of the Fund were not subject to the deferred sales charges because they have been closed for longer than one year as described in the prospectus. Small Cap Core was closed to new investors. Please refer to Enhanced Core Bond ESG’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”), including accounting and reporting guidance pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies. U.S. GAAP requires 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 theover-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 otheropen-end registered 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 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 Trusts’ 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 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 Funds, including a comparison with the prior quarter end and the percentage of the Funds that the security represents at each quarter end.

Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
With respect to foreign equity securities and certain foreign fixed income securities, the Board has adopted a policy that securities held in the Funds 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 apre-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, swaps, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, fair valued securities with observable inputs)
Level 3 – inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., fair valued securities with unobservable inputs)
Changes in inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may result in a transfer in or out of levels within the fair value hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may not necessarily be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
b. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS
Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
c. INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSES
Dividend income is recorded on theex-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. Upon notification from issuers, distributions received from a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of investments and/or 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 or funds within the AMG Funds family of mutual funds (collectively the “AMG Funds Family”) 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 apro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of each Fund.
Small Cap Core and Small/Mid Cap had certain portfolio trades directed to various brokers under a brokerage recapture program. Credits received from the brokerage recapture program are earned and paid on a monthly basis, and are recorded as expense offsets, which serve to reduce the Fund’s overall expense ratio. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the impact on the expense and expense ratios were as follows: Small Cap Core $20,193 or less than 0.01% of average net assets, and Small/Mid Cap $8,856 or 0.01% of average net assets, 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. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex-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 topaid-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 primarily due to current year redesignation of dividends paid by the fund and return of capital. Temporary differences are primarily due to differences between book and tax treatment of losses for excise tax purposes and wash sales.
At June 30, 2019, the aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes approximates the aggregate cost for book purposes. The approximate cost of investments and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Cost | | | Appreciation | | | Depreciation | | | Net | |
Enhanced Core Bond ESG | | $ | 35,193,685 | | | $ | 979,818 | | | $ | (125,973 | ) | | $ | 853,845 | |
Municipal Bond | | | 901,282,047 | | | | 37,978,576 | | | | (85,566 | ) | | | 37,893,010 | |
Municipal Enhanced | | | 233,182,792 | | | | 12,799,552 | | | | (1,419 | ) | | | 12,798,133 | |
Small Cap Core | | | 364,960,681 | | | | 89,354,126 | | | | (30,264,829 | ) | | | 59,089,297 | |
Small/Mid Cap | | | 148,785,354 | | | | 20,593,039 | | | | (8,082,334 | ) | | | 12,510,705 | |
e. FEDERAL TAXES
Each Fund currently qualifies as an investment company and 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
45
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
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, 2018, 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.
f. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYOVERS AND DEFERRALS
As of December 31, 2018, the following Funds had capital loss carryovers for federal income tax purposes as shown in the following chart. These amounts may be used
to offset future realized capital gains indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Capital Loss | | | | |
| | Carryover Amounts | | | | |
Fund | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | |
Enhanced Core Bond ESG | | $ | 1,685,519 | | | $ | 2,997,514 | | | $ | 4,683,033 | |
Municipal Bond | | | 719,813 | | | | 5,094,899 | | | | 5,814,712 | |
Municipal Enhanced | | | 304,591 | | | | — | | | | 304,591 | |
As of December 31, 2018, Small Cap Core and Small/Mid Cap had no capital loss carryovers for federal income tax purposes. Should the Funds incur net capital losses for the year ended December 31, 2019, such amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains indefinitely, and retain their character as either short-term and/or long-term.
g. CAPITAL STOCK
The Trust’s 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. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, Small Cap Core transferred securities and cash to certain shareholders in connection with redemptionsin-kind transactions in the amount of $47,933,644. For the purposes of U.S. GAAP, the transactions were treated as a sale of securities and the resulting gain or loss was recognized based on the market value of the securities on the date of the transfer. For tax purposes, no gains or losses were recognized.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019 (unaudited) and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, the capital stock transactions by class for the Funds were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | Enhanced Core Bond ESG | | | | | | | | | Municipal Bond | | | | |

h. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND JOINT REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Funds may enter into third-party repurchase agreements for temporary cash management purposes and third-party or bilateral joint repurchase agreements for reinvestment of cash collateral on securities lending transactions under the securities lending program offered by The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”) (the “Program”) (collectively, “Repurchase Agreements”). The value of the underlying collateral, including accrued interest, must equal or exceed the value of the Repurchase Agreements during the term of the agreement. For joint repurchase agreements, 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 all Repurchase Agreements is held in safekeeping by the Funds’ 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 on joint repurchase agreements.
At June 30, 2019, the market value of Repurchase Agreements outstanding for Enhanced Core Bond ESG, Small Cap Core and Small/Mid Cap were $465,627, $4,104,232 and $112,175, 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 Fund’s Schedules of Portfolio Investments. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its 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 subadvisers for the Funds (subject to Board approval) and monitors each subadviser’s investment performance, security holdings and investment strategies. Each Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by GW&K Investment Management, LLC, (“GW&K”) who
48
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
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, 2019, the Funds’ investment management fees were paid at the following annual rate of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets:
| | | | |
Enhanced Core Bond ESG | | | 0.30 | % |
Municipal Bond | | | | |

The Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2020, to waive management fees and/or pay 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, and in connection with securities sold short), shareholder servicing fees, distribution and service(12b-1) fees, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, dividends payable with respect to securities sold short, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) of Enhanced Core Bond ESG, Municipal Bond, Municipal Enhanced, Small Cap Core and Small/Mid Cap to the annual rate of 0.48%, 0.34%, 0.59%, 0.90% and 0.85%, respectively, of each Fund’s average daily net assets (this annual rate or such other annual rate that may be in effect from time to time, the “Expense Cap”), 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 a Fund or a successor fund, by mutual agreement between the Investment Manager and the Board, or in the event of a 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 a Fund.
In general, for a period of up to 36 months, the Investment Manager may recover from each Fund fees waived and expenses paid pursuant to this contractual agreement, provided that such repayment would not cause a Fund’s total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of the items noted in the parenthetical above) to exceed the contractual expense limitation amount.
At June 30, 2019, the Funds’ expiration of reimbursements subject to recoupment is as follows:

The Trusts, on behalf of the Funds, have entered into an amended and restated Administration Agreement under which the Investment Manager serves as the Funds’ administrator (the “Administrator”) and is responsible for allnon-portfolio management aspects of managing the Funds’ operations, including administration and shareholder services to each Fund. Each Fund pays a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.15% per annum of the 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. 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 Class N shares of each Fund and Class C shares of Enhanced Core Bond ESG, in accordance with the requirements of Rule12b-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 Fund’s Class N shares and Enhanced Core Bond ESG Class C 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% and 1.00%
49
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
annually of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class N shares and Enhanced Core Bond ESG Class C shares, respectively. The portion of payments made under the plan by Class N shares of each Fund and Class C shares of Enhanced Core Bond ESG 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 ESG’s Class I shares and for each of the Class N and Class I shares of Municipal Bond, Municipal Enhanced, Small Cap Core, and Small/Mid Cap, the Board has approved reimbursement payments to the Investment Manager for shareholder servicing expenses (“shareholder servicing fees”) incurred. Shareholder servicing fees include payments to financial intermediaries, such as broker-dealers (including fund supermarket platforms), banks, and trust companies who provide shareholder recordkeeping, account servicing and other services. Class N and Class I 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, 2019, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Maximum Annual Amount Approved | | | Actual Amount Incurred | |
Enhanced Core Bond ESG | | | | | | | | |

The Board provides supervision of the affairs of the Trust and other trusts within the AMG Funds family. The Trustees of the Trust who are not affiliated with the Investment Manager receive an annual retainer and per meeting fees for regular, special and telephonic meetings, and they are reimbursed forout-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 (the “SEC”) granted an exemptive order that permits the Funds to lend and borrow money for certain temporary purposes directly to and from other eligible funds in the AMG Funds family. Participation in this interfund lending program is voluntary for both the borrowing and lending funds, and an interfund loan is only made if it benefits each participating fund. The
Administrator manages 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, 2019, Municipal Bond lent a maximum of $1,316,546 for one day earning interest of $117, Municipal Enhanced lent a maximum of $5,655,762 for two days earning interest of $637, and Small/Mid Cap lent a maximum of $2,809,656 for five days earning interest of $1,440. The interest income amount is included in the Statement of Operations as interest income. Small Cap Core borrowed a maximum of $14,519,499 for four days paying interest of $2,236. The interest expense amount is included in the Statement of Operations as miscellaneous expense. At June 30, 2019, the Funds had no interfund loans outstanding.

4. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED
The Funds participate in the Program providing for the lending of securities to qualified borrowers. 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 or U.S. Government and Agency Obligations. Collateral 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 separate omnibus accounts managed by BNYM, who is authorized to exclusively enter into joint repurchase agreements for
50
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
that cash collateral. Securities collateral is held in separate omnibus accounts managed by BNYM that cannot be sold or pledged. 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.
The value of securities loaned on positions held, cash and securities collateral received at June 30, 2019, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Securities Loaned | | | Cash Collateral Received | | | Securities Collateral Received | | | Total Collateral Received | |

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
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 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 thenon-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.

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 advisory fee structure, and the services the Investment Manager provides in performing its functions under each Investment Management Agreement and supervising the Subadviser. 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. 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 Subadviser, the Trustees reviewed information regarding the cost of providing subadvisory services to each of the Funds and the resulting profitability to the Subadviser from these relationships. The Trustees noted that, because the Subadviser is an affiliate of the Investment Manager, a portion of the Subadviser’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 subadvisory fee structure, and the services the Subadviser provides in performing its functions under each Subadvisory Agreement. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Subadviser is reasonable and that the Subadviser is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the subadvisory fees at this time. Also with respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that as a Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund may realize other economies of scale to the extent the increase in assets is proportionally greater than the increase in certain other expenses.
With respect to AMG GW&K Small Cap Core Fund, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s management fees (which include both the advisory and administration fees) and total expenses (weighted average, all classes combined) (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2019 were both lower 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, 2020, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.90%. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser (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 Subadviser, the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
With respect to AMG GW&K Small/Mid Cap Fund, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s management fees (which include both the advisory and administration fees) and total expenses (weighted average, all classes combined) (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2019 were both lower 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, 2020, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.85%. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser (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 Subadviser, 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 management fees (which include both the advisory and administration fees) and total expenses (weighted average, all classes combined) (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2019 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, 2020, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.59%. 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 Subadviser (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 Subadviser, 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 management fees (which include both the advisory and administration fees) and total expenses (weighted average, all classes combined) (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2019 were both lower 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, 2020, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.34%. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser (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 Subadviser, the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements(continued)
With respect to AMG GW&K Enhanced Core Bond ESG Fund, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s management fees (which include both the advisory and administration fees) and total expenses (weighted average, all classes combined) (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2019 were lower and higher, 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, 2020, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.48%. 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 Subadviser (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 Subadviser, 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 and the Subadviser have demonstrated that they possess the capability and resources to perform the duties required of them under each Investment Management Agreement and each Subadvisory
Agreement and (b) the Investment Manager and Subadviser 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 27, 2019, the Trustees, and separately a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Investment Management and the Subadvisory Agreements for each Fund.
