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

The performance data shown represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Investors should carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing.

* | Investor and Service Class shares commenced operations on January 1, 2010. Institutional Class shares for AMG FQ Global Alternatives Fund commenced operations on January 1, 2010. |
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 April 30, 2015. 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 invests in large-capitalization companies that may underperform other stock funds (such as funds that focus on small- and medium-capitalization companies) when stocks of large-capitalization companies are out of favor. Although the Fund is managed to minimize taxable distributions, it may not be able to avoid taxable distributions. Also, the Fund may invest in derivatives; the complexity and rapidly changing structure of derivatives markets may increase the possibility of market losses. |
4 | The Russell 3000® Index is composed of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies as measured by market capitalization, and represents approximately 98% of the U.S. stock market. Unlike the Fund, the Russell 3000® Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment and does not incur expenses. |
5 | After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. |
6 | The Fund invests in large-capitalization companies that may underperform other stock funds (such as funds that focus on small- and medium-capitalization companies) when stocks of large-capitalization companies are out of favor. Also, the Fund may invest in derivatives; the complexity and rapidly changing structure of derivatives markets may increase the possibility of market losses. |
7 | Date reflects the inception date of the Fund, not the index. |
8 | 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. |
9 | The Fund may use derivative instruments for hedging purposes or as part of its investment strategy. There is |

Fund Performance (continued)
a risk that a derivative intended as a hedge may not perform as expected. The main risk with derivatives is that some types can amplify a gain or loss, potentially earning or losing substantially more money than the actual cost of the derivative or that the counterparty may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss for the Fund. Use of these instruments may also involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, management risk, and the risk that a fund could not close out a position when it would be most advantageous to do so. The Fund is subject to currency risk resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates that may affect the total loss or gain on a non-U.S. Dollar security when converted back to U.S. Dollars.
10 | Investments in foreign securities and currency instruments are subject to additional risks such as erratic market conditions, economic and political instability, and currency exchange rate fluctuations. |
11 | Because the Fund invests in exchange traded funds (ETFs) which incur their own costs, investing in them could result in a higher cost to the investor. |
Additionally, the Fund will be indirectly exposed to all the risks of securities held by the ETFs.
12 | The Fund is non-diversified and therefore a greater percentage of holdings may be concentrated in a small number of issuers or a single issuer, which can place the Fund at greater risk. |
13 | Performance for the Citigroup 1-month U.S. Treasury Bill Index reflects an inception date of March 31, 2006. The Citigroup 1-month U.S. Treasury Bill Index is a market value-weighted index of public obligations of the U.S. Treasury with maturities of one month. Unlike the Fund, the Citigroup 1-month U.S. Treasury Bill Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
14 | Investments in foreign securities, even though publicly traded in the United States, may involve risks which are in addition to those inherent in domestic investments. The use of leverage in a Fund’s strategy can magnify relatively small market movements into relatively larger losses for the Fund. |
15 | The Fund is subject to special risk considerations similar to those associated with the direct ownership of real estate. Real estate valuations may be subject to factors such as changing general and local economic, financial, competitive and environmental conditions. |
16 | Obligations of certain government agencies are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. If one of these agencies defaulted on a loan, there is no guarantee that the U.S. Government will provide financial support. Additionally, debt securities of the U.S. Government may be affected by changing interest rates and subject to prepayment risk. |
17 | The Fund’s index is comprised of 60% MSCI World Index and 40% Citigroup World Government Bond Index. The MSCI World Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. The MSCI World Index consists of 23 developed country indices. The Citigroup World Government Bond Index is a market capitalization weighted index consisting of the government bond markets. Country eligibility is determined based on market capitalization and investability criteria. All issues have a remaining maturity of at least one year. Unlike the Fund, the Composite Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur fees. All MSCI data is provided ’as is.’ The products described herein are not sponsored or endorsed and have not been reviewed or passed on by MSCI. In no event shall MSCI, its affiliates, or any MSCI data provider have any liability of any kind in connection with the MSCI data or the products described herein. Copying or redistributing the MSCI data is strictly prohibited. |
18 | The date reflects the closet available index date to the Fund’s inception date. |

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
AMG Funds I (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized as a Massachusetts business trust, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Currently, the Trust consists of a number of different funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks, and policies. Included in this report are: AMG FQ Tax-Managed U.S. Equity Fund (“Tax-Managed”), AMG FQ U.S. Equity Fund (“U.S. Equity”), AMG FQ Global Alternatives Fund (“Global Alternatives”) and AMG FQ Global Risk-Balanced Fund (“Global Risk-Balanced”), each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds.”
Tax-Managed and U.S. Equity each offer two classes of shares: Investor Class and Institutional Class. Global Alternatives and Global Risk-Balanced each offers three classes of shares: Investor Class, Service Class and Institutional Class. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund. Although all share classes generally have identical voting rights, each share class votes separately when required by law. Different share classes may pay different distribution amounts to the extent the net asset value per share and/or the expenses of such share classes differ. Each share class has its own expense structure. Please refer to a current prospectus for additional information on each share class.
Global Alternatives is non-diversified. A greater percentage of the Fund’s holdings maybe focused in a smaller number of securities which may place the Fund at greater risk than a more diversifed fund.
The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements:
a. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
Equity securities traded on a domestic or international securities exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price, or, lacking any sales, at the last quoted bid price. Equity securities primarily traded on an international securities exchange and equity securities traded on NASDAQ or in a U.S. or non-U.S. over-the-counter (“OTC”) market are valued at the market’s official closing price, or, if there are no trades on the applicable date, at the last quoted bid price. In addition, if the applicable market does not offer an official closing price or if the official closing price is not representative of the overall market, equity securities traded on an international securities exchange and equity securities traded in a non-U.S. over-the counter market are valued at the last quoted sales price. The Funds’ investments are generally valued based on independent market quotations or prices or, if none, “evaluative” or other market based valuations provided by third-party pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees of the Funds (the “Board”).
Fixed-income securities are valued based on valuations furnished by independent pricing services that utilize matrix systems, which reflect such
factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Debt obligations (other than short term debt obligations that have 60 days or less remaining until maturity) will be valued using the evaluated bid price or the mean price provided by an authorized pricing service. Futures contracts for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the settlement price as of the close of the futures exchange. Short-term debt obligations (debt obligations with maturities of one year or less at the time of issuance) that have 60 days or less remaining until maturity will be valued at amortized cost. Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at their end of day net asset value per share except other ETF’s, which are valued the same as equity securities.
Under certain circumstances, the value of certain Fund investments (including derivatives) may be based on an evaluation of fair value, pursuant to procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. The Pricing Committee is the committee formed by the Board to make fair value determinations for such investments. 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 deemed to be readily available or otherwise not determinable pursuant to the Board’s valuation procedures, if AMG Funds LLC (the “Investment Manager”) believes the quotation, price or market based valuation to be unreliable, or in certain other circumstances. When determining the fair value of an investment, the Pricing Committee seeks to determine the price that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive from a current sale of that investment in an arms-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon consideration of all available facts and information, including, but not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) fundamental analytical data and press releases relating to the investment and its issuer; and (iii) the value of other comparable securities or relevant financial instruments, including derivative securities, traded on other markets or among dealers.
The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized in the future, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. The Board will be presented with a quarterly report showing as of the most recent quarter end, all outstanding securities fair valued by the Pricing Committee, including a comparison with the prior quarter end and the percentage of the Fund that the security represents at each quarter end.
Portfolio investments that trade primarily on foreign markets are priced based upon the market quotation of such securities as of the close of their respective principal markets. Under certain circumstances, on behalf of a fund that invests in international securities, the Investment Manager or applicable subadvisor may recommend an adjustment of such prices based on its determination of the impact of events occurring subsequent to the close of such markets but prior to the time as of which each Fund calculates its NAV. The Board has also adopted a policy that securities held in a fund that invests in international securities and certain foreign debt obligations held by a fund, in each case, that can be fair valued by the applicable fair value pricing service are fair valued on each

business day without regard to a “trigger” (e.g., without regard to invoking fair value based upon a change in a U.S. equity securities index exceeding a pre-determined level). The Funds may invest in securities that may be thinly traded. The Board has adopted procedures to adjust prices of securities that are judged to be stale so that they reflect fair value. An investment valued on the basis of its fair value may be valued at a price higher or lower than available market quotations.
U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.
The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:
Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, option contracts)
Level 2 – other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities with observable inputs)
Level 3 – inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., fair valued securities with unobservable inputs)
Changes in inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may result in a transfer in or out of levels within the fair value hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may not necessarily be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. Transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.
b. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS
Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
c. INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSES
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividend and interest income on foreign securities is recorded gross of any withholding tax. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are reported at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received in excess of income from return of capital including real estate investment trusts (REITs) are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related investment and/or as a realized gain. If the Funds no longer own the applicable securities, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as an adjustment to realized gain. Other income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are apportioned among the Funds in the Trust and other affiliated funds based upon their relative average net assets or number of shareholders. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of each Fund, and certain Fund level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of each Fund.
The Funds have a “balance credit” arrangement with The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”), the Funds’ custodian, whereby each Fund is credited with an interest factor equal to 0.75% below the effective 90-day T-Bill rate for account balances left uninvested overnight. If the T-Bill rate falls below 0.75%, no credits will be earned. These credits serve to reduce custodian expenses that would otherwise be charged to each Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2015, the Funds’ custodian expense was not reduced.
Overdraft fees are computed at 1% above the effective Federal Funds rate on the day of the overdraft. For the six months ended April 30, 2015, overdraft fees for U.S. Equity and Global Alternatives equaled $9 and $16, respectively.
d. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Fund distributions resulting from either net investment income or realized net capital gains, if any, will normally be declared and paid at least annually in December, as described in the Funds’ prospectus. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial statement purposes (U.S. GAAP). Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense and gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Permanent differences are due to tax equalization and temporary differences are due to wash sales.
e. FEDERAL TAXES
Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and gains to its shareholders and to meet certain diversification and income requirements with respect to investment companies.
41
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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 October 31, 2014, 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, the Funds are not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
Net capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the enactment of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, may be carried forward for an unlimited time period. Such losses will be required to be utilized prior to any loss carryovers incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which generally expire eight years following the close of the taxable year in which they were incurred. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward retain their tax character as either short-term or long-term capital losses, unlike pre-enactment losses which are considered all short-term.
f. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYOVERS AND DEFERRALS
As of April 30, 2015, the following Funds had accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from securities transactions for federal income tax purposes as shown in the following chart. These amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains, if any, through the expiration dates listed or in the case of post-enactment losses, for an unlimited time period.

(Pre-Enactment) | | $ | 10,666,235 | | | | — | | | | 2017 | |
g. CAPITAL STOCK
The Trust’s Declaration of Trust authorizes for each series the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. Each Fund records sales and repurchases of its capital stock on the trade date. The cost of securities contributed to the Funds in connection with the issuance of shares is based on the valuation of those securities in accordance with the Funds’ policy on investment valuation.

At April 30, 2015, certain unaffiliated shareholders of record, specifically omnibus accounts, individually or collectively held greater than 10% of the net assets of the Funds as follows: Tax-Managed - one owns 18% and Global Alternatives - three collectively own 54%.Transactions by these shareholders may have a material impact on their respective Funds.
h. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements provided that the value of the underlying collateral, including accrued interest, will equal or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement during the term of the agreement. The underlying collateral for all repurchase agreements is held in safekeeping by the Fund’s custodian or at the Federal Reserve Bank. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if bankruptcy proceedings commence with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. At April 30, 2015, the market value of repurchase agreements outstanding for Tax-Managed, U. S. Equity, Global Alternatives and Global Risk-Balanced was $1,222,632, $901,856, $18 and $2,266,634, respectively.
i. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of investments, assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon current foreign exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investments, income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based on currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions represent: (1) foreign exchange gains and losses from the sale and holdings of foreign currencies; (2) gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions and forward 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. FOREIGN SECURITIES
Certain Funds invest in securities of foreign entities and in instruments denominated in foreign currencies which involve risks not typically associated with investments in domestic securities. Non-domestic securities carry special risks, such as exposure to currency fluctuations, less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability, a lack of company information, differing auditing and legal standards, and, potentially, less liquidity.
Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the Fund level, at rates ranging from approximately 10% to 15%. The Funds would pay such foreign taxes at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction.
2. AGREEMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
For each of the Funds, the Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement under which the Investment Manager, a subsidiary and the U.S. retail distribution arm of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (“AMG”), serves as Investment Manager to the Funds and is responsible for the Funds’ overall administration and operations. The Investment Manager selects one or more subadvisors for the Funds (subject to Board approval) and monitors each subadvisor’s investment performance, security holdings and investment strategies. Each Fund’s investment portfolios are managed by First Quadrant,
43
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
L.P. (“First Quadrant”), who serves pursuant to a subadvisory agreement with the Investment Manager. AMG indirectly owns a majority interest in First Quadrant.
Tax-Managed is obligated by the Investment Management Agreement to pay a management fee to the Investment Manager at the annual rate of 0.85% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Under the Investment Management Agreement with the Tax-Managed Fund, the Investment Manager provides a variety of administrative services to the Fund. The Investment Manager receives no additional compensation from the Fund for these services. Pursuant to a reimbursement agreement between the Investment Manager and First Quadrant, First Quadrant reimburses the Investment Manager for the costs the Investment Manager bears in providing such services to the Fund.
U.S. Equity, Global Alternatives and Global Risk-Balanced are obligated by the Investment Management Agreement to pay a management fee to the Investment Manager at the annual rate of 0.35%, 1.70% and 0.60%, respectively, of the average daily net assets of the applicable Fund. The Investment Manager, in turn, pays a portion of this fee to First Quadrant for its services as subadvisor.
The Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through at least March 1, 2016, to waive management fees (but not below zero) and/or reimburse Fund expenses in order to limit total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest (including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody overdrafts), shareholder servicing fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) of Tax-Managed, U.S. Equity, Global Alternatives and Global Risk-Balanced to 0.99%, 0.79%, 1.44% and 0.89%, respectively, of each Fund’s average daily net assets subject to later reimbursement by the Funds in certain circumstances. The contractual expense limitation may only be terminated in the event the Investment Manager or a successor ceases to be the Investment Manager of the Fund or a successor fund, by mutual agreement of the Investment Manager and the Trust’s Board of Trustees, or in the event of the Fund’s liquidation unless the Fund is reorganized or is a party to a merger in which the surviving entity is successor to the accounting and performance information of the Fund.
Each Fund is obligated to repay the Investment Manager such amounts waived, paid or reimbursed in future years provided that the repayment occurs within thirty-six (36) months after the waiver or reimbursement and that such repayment would not cause the Fund’s total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements in any such future year to exceed that Funds’ contractual expense limitation amount.
For the six months ended April 30, 2015, each Fund’s components of reimbursement available are detailed in the following chart:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Tax-Managed | | | U.S. Equity | |
Reimbursement Available - 10/31/14 | | $ | 129,265 | | | $ | 82,645 | |

The Investment Manager has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in consideration of shareholder servicing fees that it has received from JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc., with respect to short-term cash investments each Fund may have made in the JPMorgan Liquid Assets Money Market Fund, Capital Shares. For the six months ended April 30, 2015, the management fee for Global Risk-Balanced was reduced by $1,531 or 0.002%.
Effective January 1, 2015, the Board provides supervision of the affairs of the Trust, other trusts within the AMG Funds family of mutual funds (collectively, the “AMG Funds family”) and other affiliated funds. Previously, the Board provided supervision to only the Trust and other trusts within the AMG Funds family.
Beginning January 1, 2015, the aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee of the Board is $200,000, plus $16,000, $4,000 or $2,000 for each regular, in-person special or telephonic special meeting attended, respectively. The Independent Chairman of the Trusts receives an additional payment of $55,000 per year. The Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional payment of $25,000 per year.
Prior to January 1, 2015, the aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee of the Board was $130,000, plus $7,000 or $2,500 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Independent Chairman of the Trusts formerly received an additional payment of $35,000 per year. The Chairman of the Audit Committee formerly received an additional payment of $15,000 per year.
Prior to January 1, 2014, the aggregate annual retainer paid to each Independent Trustee of the Board was $105,000, plus $6,000 or $2,500 for each regular or special meeting attended, respectively. The Independent Chairman of the Trusts formerly received an additional payment of $25,000 per year. The Chairman of the Audit Committee formerly received an additional payment of $10,000 per year.
44
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Effective January 1, 2015, the Trustees’ fees and expenses are generally allocated among all of the funds in the Trust, other trusts within the AMG Funds family and other affiliated funds based on the relative net assets of such funds. Before January 1, 2015, the Trustees’ fees and expenses were generally allocated among all of the funds in the Trust and other trusts within the AMG Funds family. The “Trustees fees and expenses” shown in the financial statements represents each Fund’s allocated portion of the total fees and expenses paid to the Independent Trustees of the Board.
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 through brokers, dealers or other financial intermediaries who have executed selling agreements with the Distributor. Subject to the compensation arrangement discussed below, generally the Distributor bears all or a portion of the expenses of providing services pursuant to the distribution agreement, including the payment of the expenses relating to the distribution of prospectuses for sales purposes and any advertising or sales literature. Certain Trustees and Officers of the Funds are Officers and/or Directors of the Investment Manager, AMG and/or the Distributor.
The Trust has adopted a distribution and service plan (the “Plan”) with respect to the Investor Class shares, in accordance with the requirements of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and the requirements of the applicable rules of FINRA regarding asset based sales charges. Pursuant to the Plan, each Fund may make payments to the Distributor for its expenditures in financing any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of each such class of Fund’s shares and for maintenance and personal service provided to existing shareholders of that class. The Plan authorizes payments to the Distributor up to 0.25% annually of each Funds’ average daily net assets attributable to the Investor Class shares.
For each of the Investor and Service Classes, the Board has approved reimbursement payments to the Investment Manager for shareholder servicing expenses (“shareholder servicing fees”) incurred. Shareholder servicing fees include payments to third parties such as a bank, broker-dealer, trust company or other financial intermediaries who provide shareholder recordkeeping, account servicing and other services. The Investor and Service Class shares may reimburse the Investment Manager for the actual amount incurred up to a maximum annual rate of each Class’s average daily net assets as shown in the table below.
The impact on the annualized expense ratios for the six months ended April 30, 2015 were as follows:
| | | | |
| | Maximum | | Actual |
| | Amount | | Amount |
Fund | | Allowed | | Incurred |

The Securities and Exchange Commission has granted an exemptive order that permits the Funds to lend and borrow money for certain temporary purposes directly to and from other eligible Funds in the AMG Funds family. Participation in this interfund lending program is voluntary for both the borrowing and lending Funds, and an interfund loan is only made if it benefits each participating Fund. The Investment Manager administers the program according to procedures approved by the Board, and the Board monitors the operation of the program. An interfund loan must comply with certain conditions set out in the exemptive order, which are designed to assure fairness and protect all participating Funds. For the six months ended April 30, 2015, the following Funds either borrowed from or lent to other Funds in the AMG Funds family: Global Alternatives lent $1,473,139 for one day earning interest of $25 and Global Risk-Balanced lent varying amounts not exceeding $3,248,316, for five days earning interest of $168. The interest amount is included in the Statement of Operations as interest income. At April 30, 2015, the Funds had no 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 April 30, 2015, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Long-Term Securities | |
Fund | | Purchases | | | Sales | |
Tax-Managed | | $ | 26,643,660 | | | $ | 18,914,467 | |
U.S. Equity | | | 57,639,589 | | | | 53,040,426 | |
Global Alternatives | | | — | | | | 11,776,437 | |
Global Risk-Balanced | | | 14,538,446 | | | | 17,083,759 | |
The Funds had no purchases or sales of U.S. Government obligations during the six months ended April 30, 2015.
4. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED
The Funds participate in a securities lending program offered by BNYM (the “Program”), providing for the lending of securities to qualified brokers. Securities lending income includes earnings of such temporary cash investments, plus or minus any rebate to a borrower. These earnings (after any rebate) are then divided between BNYM, as a fee for its services under the Program, and the Funds, according to agreed-upon rates. Collateral on all securities loaned is accepted in cash and is maintained at a minimum level of 102% (105% in the case of certain foreign securities) of the market value, plus interest, if applicable, of investments on loan. It is the Funds’ policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end
45
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Funds if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Under the terms of the Program, the Funds are indemnified for such losses by BNYM. Cash collateral is held in a separate account managed by BNYM, who is authorized to exclusively enter into overnight government repurchase agreements. BNYM bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the cash collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested.
At April 30, 2015, the value of the securities loaned and cash collateral received, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Securities | | | Cash Collateral | |
Fund | | Loaned | | | Received | |
Tax-Managed | | $ | 1,209,867 | | | $ | 1,222,632 | |
U.S. Equity | | | 893,718 | | | | 901,856 | |
Global Risk-Balanced | | | 2,222,011 | | | | 2,266,634 | |
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the Funds under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds had no prior claims or losses and expect the risks of loss to be remote.
6. FORWARD COMMITMENTS
Certain transactions, such as futures and forward transactions may have a similar effect on the Fund’s net asset value as if the Fund had created a degree of leverage in its portfolio. However, if a Fund enters into such a transaction, the Fund will establish a segregated account with its custodian in which it will maintain cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid securities equal in value to its obligations in respect to such transaction. Securities and other assets held in the segregated account may not be sold while the transaction is outstanding, unless other suitable assets are substituted.
7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The following disclosures contain information on how and why the Funds use derivative instruments, the credit risk and how derivative instruments affect the Fund’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The location and fair value amounts of these instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the realized and changes in unrealized gains and losses on the Statement of Operations, each categorized by type of derivative contract, are included in a table in the Notes to the Schedules of Portfolio Investments. For six months ended April 30, 2015, the average quarterly balances of outstanding derivative financial instruments were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | U.S. Equity | | | Global Alternatives | | | Global Risk-Balanced | |
Financial futures contracts: | | | | | | | | | |
Average number of contracts purchased | | | 2 | | | | 413 | | | | 758 | |
Average number of contracts sold | | | — | | | | 478 | | | | — | |
Average notional value of contracts purchased | | $ | 202,623 | | | $ | 52,324,990 | | | $ | 82,580,979 | |

Average notional value of option contracts purchased | | $ | 502,199 | | | | — | | | $ | 492,006 | |
Average notional value of option contracts written | | $ | 748,634 | | | | — | | | $ | 736,225 | |
8. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
During the six months ended April 30, 2015, Global Alternatives invested in forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risk on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities.
A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between a fund and another party to buy or sell a currency at a set price at a future date. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily, and the change in market value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Gain or loss on the purchase or sale of contracts are realized on the settlement date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
9. FUTURES CONTRACTS
U.S. Equity entered into equity index futures contracts with the objective of maintaining exposure to equity stock markets while maintaining liquidity. Global Alternatives and Global Risk-Balanced entered into futures contracts, including futures contracts on global equity and fixed-income securities, interest rate futures contracts, foreign currency futures contracts and futures contracts on security indices (including broad-based security indices). The Funds 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 payments (variation margin) are made or received each day. The variation margin payments equal the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. For OTC futures, daily variation margin is not required. The Fund recognizes a realized
46
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Futures are valued at their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures contracts.
10. OPTIONS
A written option contract is a contract in which the writer of the option grants the buyer of the option the right to purchase from (call option) or sell to (put option) the writer a designated instrument at a specified price within a specified period of time. Options written (sold) are recorded as liabilities. U.S. Equity and Global Risk-Balanced, as writer of written options, bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the instrument underlying the written option. When an option expires, the premium (original option value) is realized as a gain if the option was written or as a loss if the option was purchased. When the exercise of an option results in a cash settlement, the difference between the premium and the settlement proceeds is recognized as realized gain or loss. When securities are acquired or delivered upon exercise of an option, the acquisition cost or sale proceeds are adjusted by the amount of the premium. When an option is closed, the difference between the premium and the cost to close the position is realized as a gain or loss.
11. EXCHANGE TRADED NOTES
Global Risk-Balanced invests in Exchange Traded Notes (“ETNs”). ETNs are senior, unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities issued by a financial institution, listed on an exchange and traded in the secondary market. There are no periodic interest payments, and principal is not protected. The Fund could lose some or all of the amount invested. The price in the secondary market is determined by supply and demand, the current performance of the index, and the credit rating of the ETN issuer. At maturity, the issuer pays the Fund a return linked to the performance of the market index, such as a commodity index, to which the ETN is linked, minus the issuer’s fee. ETNs are subject to the risk of a breakdown in the futures markets that they use. As a means to obtain commodity exposure, the Fund invests in ETNs linked to commodity indices. The Fund may be exposed to a wide variety of commodity sectors, including, without limitation, agriculture, livestock, base/industrial metals, oil, energy and precious metals. Commodity prices, and the value of stocks of companies exposed to commodities, can be extremely volatile and are affected by a wide range of factors.
12. MARKET, CREDIT AND COUNTERPARTY RISKS
In the normal course of business, Global Alternatives and Global Risk-Balanced invest in securities and enter into transactions where risks exist due to market fluctuations and are exposed to credit risk with parties with whom it trades (issuers or counterparties). Market prices of investments held by the Funds may fall rapidly or unpredictably and will rise and fall due to changing economic, political, or market conditions or in response to events that affect particular industries or companies. Each Fund may be exposed to credit or counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions will default or not perform under the contract.
The Fund minimizes credit risk and counterparty risk by undertaking transactions with a large number of customers and counterparties on recognized and reputable exchanges. The Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a financial derivatives contract, repurchase agreement or a loan of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations.
The Funds are subject to various Master Agreements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. These Master Agreements reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying credit protection mechanisms and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant master agreement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold, which typically ranges from zero to $250,000 depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Agreement.
International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) govern OTC financial derivative transactions entered into by the Funds and the respective counterparty. The ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral and events of default or termination. Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Funds’ net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Funds fail to meet the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which requires accelerated settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election to terminate early could be material to the financial statements.
13. MASTER NETTING AGREEMENTS
The Funds may enter into master netting agreements with their counterparties for the securities lending program, repurchase agreements and derivative instruments, which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to master netting agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For securities lending transactions, see Note 4.
