Dear ManagersChoice Advisor:
Your client(s) will be receiving a proxy statement this week, requesting shareholders to vote on an important proposal concerning the AMG GW&K Core Bond Fund (the “Fund”), formerly AMG Managers Total Return Bond Fund.
The proxy statement is also available at proxyonline.com/docs/amgfunds.pdf. As the proxy statement explains, the proposal for which your clients’ votes are being solicited is approval of a new subadvisory agreement between AMG Funds LLC and Gannett Welsh & Kotler, LLC, with respect to the Fund. The proxy statement provides greater detail on this proposal and should be consulted for additional information.
Your clients can vote in one of four ways:
| | • | | Over the Internet, through the website listed on the proxy card, |
| | • | | By telephone, using one of the toll-free numbers listed on the proxy card, |
| | • | | By mail, using the proxy card enclosed in the shareholder mailing — your client must sign, date and return the proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope, or |
| | • | | In person at the shareholder meeting on May 4, 2015. |
Your clients’ vote is extremely important. Shareholder meetings do not occur often, so we ask that you encourage your clients to consider and vote on this important proposal.
Please note that hard copies of the proxy statement were mailed toallManagersChoice clients, including those who are currently registered for eDelivery of regulatory documents.Proxy cards are not considered to be standard regulatory documents and therefore must be mailed to all shareholders. If you have any questions about these proxy statements, please call our Client Service Team at 888.368.0079.
