Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder:

The last 12 months was a strong period for equity markets as the health of the global economy improved amid an environment of low volatility and higher returns. The S&P 500^® Index, a widely followed barometer of the U.S. equity market, returned 23.63% during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017. Small cap stocks performed even better with a 27.85% return for the small cap Russell 2000^® Index.

Following the surprising U.S. presidential election results last November, interest rates spiked and pro-cyclical sectors rallied, especially financials, as the new administration’s plans for tax reform and increased fiscal spending drove a reflationary theme of stronger future economic growth. Equity market volatility fell to historic lows during the year while major indexes notched record highs. The rally in pro-cyclicals ebbed and flowed at times as investors assessed the Trump administration’s ability to enact pro-growth tax reform and infrastructure spending. Later in the year, elevated geopolitical tensions from saber-rattling in North Korea and devastation from three major hurricanes did not disrupt the equity bull market. In September, the S&P 500 Index marked eight straight quarters of positive returns and has not seen a pullback greater than 5% since the summer of 2016.

In total, all but one sector of the S&P 500 Index was positive during the last 12 months; however, there was significant dispersion in performance across sectors. Information technology and financials stocks led the Index with returns of 38.99% and 37.06%, respectively, while companies within the energy and telecommunication services sectors were the laggards with returns of 2.60% and -1.37%, respectively. International stock performance significantly improved from the prior year with a return of 23.64%, as measured by the MSCI All Country World ex-USA Index. The U.S. Dollar weakened during the year, providing a boost for international investments in Dollar terms. Additionally, emerging markets equities outperformed developed markets, as the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 26.45% for the year, compared with a 23.44% return for the developed market MSCI EAFE Index.

The U.S. bond market produced slightly positive returns for the year, as measured by the 0.90% return for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a broad measure of U.S. bond market performance. Interest rates spiked following the presidential election leading to price declines for most bonds. Returns improved as interest rates generally fell through the spring and summer. Overall, 10-year U.S. Treasury Notes rose 54 basis points during the year to end at a yield of 2.38%. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) continued to normalize interest rates by hiking the federal funds rate three times and signaled further tightening in the future through benchmark interest rate increases and the gradual reduction of its massive balance sheet. Bond investors willing to accept more credit risk were rewarded with higher returns as high yield bonds performed strongly and credit spreads tightened. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index ended the period with an 8.92% return.

Our foremost goal is to provide investment solutions that help our shareholders successfully reach their long-term investment goals.

About Your Fund’s Expenses

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.

AMG Managers Fairpointe ESG Equity Fund

Portfolio Manager’s Comments (unaudited)

OVERVIEW

The AMG Managers Fairpointe ESG Equity Fund (the “Fund”), (formerly AMG Managers Fairpointe Focused Equity Fund) Class N shares returned 21.83% for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, slightly underperforming the Russell 1000^® Index, which returned 23.67%. The Fund’s strategy is characterized by a long-term view, a portfolio of high-conviction investments, a focus on purchasing securities at a significant discount to fair value, and a willingness to hold (and add to) positions through volatile markets.

With the Fund’s transition from Focused Equity to the ESG Strategy, the Fund sold several positions that did not fit our mandate of owning companies with strong environmental, social and governance records. We have developed internal guidelines and processes to evaluate each company based on these factors. Fairpointe has a history of active engagement on governance issues and has always been environmentally and socially aware. We have now formalized these practices into written guidelines.

FISCAL YEAR REVIEW

The Fund’s largest contributors to performance during the period were FMC Corporation (FMC), Cree, Inc. (CREE), Kennametal Inc. (KMT), Unilever PLC (UL), and VMware, Inc. (VMW).

FMC Corporation recently completed the acquisition of DuPont’s agricultural crop protection business in an accretive transaction. The company also plans to spin off its small but fast growing and highly profitable lithium business, which is benefiting from the growth in electric vehicles. These corporate restructurings created significant value this year.

Cree’s stock price increased based on the newly hired CEO’s semiconductor background and his strategic review of the company. Investors also expect more focus on Cree’s faster growing chip business.

Kennametal’s stock price was driven by cost reductions and recovering end markets, which resulted in improved pricing and demand.

Detractors from performance for the fiscal year were Mattel, Inc. (MAT), General Electric Company (GE), Discovery Communications, Inc. (DISCA), Ralph Lauren Corporation (RL), and Hormel Foods Corporation (HRL).

Mattel has a new management team led by Margo Georgiadis. They are refreshing core brands, simplifying the portfolio while significantly reducing costs, and focusing on the emerging markets in China and India. This has been a difficult year for Mattel with the bankruptcy of Toys R Us, yet we remain optimistic about the strategic plan and find the valuation very compelling.

General Electric also has a new CEO, John Flannery, with a dramatic transformation plan; his review has yielded a reduced outlook and a significant cut in the dividend. Mr. Flannery is focused on cash flow and capital allocation, which is refreshing and appropriate, but disappointing in the timing of the turnaround.

Hormel Foods is a new position purchased on the thesis that the market has not given them credit for their expanded portfolio of value-added products. Higher input costs, resulted in a tough quarter, which we believe is a temporary issue. The company has a history of strong returns and a conservative balance sheet and is cited as one of the top employers in the country.

ADDITIONS AND ELIMINATIONS

Fifteen new stocks were added to the Fund during the fiscal year—Akamai Technologies, Bank of New York Mellon, DXC Technology, Dean Foods, General Electric, Hormel Foods, IBM, Lions Gate Entertainment, Mattel, Micro Focus Intl, Patterson Companies, Qualcomm, Ralph Lauren, Varex Imaging Corp, and WPP PLC. Three of these were spin-offs from existing holdings (DXC, Micro Focus and Varex Imaging).

Qualcomm was purchased with the thesis that the significant intellectual property in its patent portfolio was being dramatically discounted by the market. We do not believe the IP battle with Apple will have the negative consequences the market is expecting.

The experienced management team has created a unique technology franchise that, in our opinion, is underappreciated and not properly valued.

Since the close of the fiscal year, both Qualcomm and Mattel have had takeover offers that have resulted in a significant move in their stock prices. While they both have rebuffed the offers, we believe the development demonstrates the significant undervaluation of these companies.

Ten holdings were eliminated during the fiscal year—Apache Corp, Baker Hughes, Fluor Corp, Greif, News Corp, Ralph Lauren, Staples, Transocean, Twenty-First Century FOX, and Varex Imaging Corp.

The Fund remains overweight relative to its benchmarks in the consumer discretionary, technology, and industrials sectors. This outcome is driven by our fundamental, bottom up valuation-based approach to stock selection. As our holding period is generally three to five years, we advocate patience to allow the discount between current security prices and our estimates of fair value to narrow.

OUTLOOK

The U.S. economy continues its recovery. We would not be surprised to see increased volatility in equity markets due to high equity valuations; we will seek to capitalize on opportunities emerging due to near-term disruptions.

The Fund’s holdings remain attractively positioned relative to its equity benchmark and other asset classes (e.g. fixed income). As of October 31, 2017, the Fund’s holdings trade at 16.3x 2018 consensus earnings estimates, while the Russell 1000^® trades at 17.3x. Moreover, the Fund’s holdings trade at 1.1x enterprise value/trailing 12 months’ revenue, which is a substantial discount to the Russell 1000^® benchmark of 2.1x.¹

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN PERFORMANCE

The AMG Managers Fairpointe ESG Equity Fund’s (formerly known as AMG Managers Fairpointe Focused Equity Fund) cumulative total return is based on the daily change in net asset value (NAV), and assumes that all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The graph compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in AMG Managers Fairpointe ESG Equity Fund’s Class N shares on December 24, 2014, to a $10,000 investment made in the Russell 1000^® Index for the same time period. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on a Fund distribution or redemption of shares. The listed returns for the Fund are net of expenses and the returns for the index exclude expenses. Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced.

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.

⁵	The Fund is subject to risks associated with investments in mid-capitalization companies such as greater price volatility, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than the stocks of larger, more established companies.

⁶	The Fund 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.

AMG River Road Focused Absolute Value Fund

Portfolio Manager’s Comments (unaudited)

OVERVIEW

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the AMG River Road Focused Absolute Value Fund (the “Fund”) Class N shares returned 17.42%, compared to the 18.30% return for the Russell 3000^® Value Index.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The sector with the largest positive contribution to relative return was real estate, which benefited from strong stock selection. The Fund’s relative return also benefited from a lack of exposure to the energy sector. This was partially offset by negative stock selection in financials and consumer staples. From a market cap perspective, the Fund’s mid cap holdings significantly outperformed while small caps were a headwind.

The two holdings with the largest positive contribution to portfolio return were Liberty Interactive Corporation Ventures Series A (LVNTA) and Spirit Aerosystems Holdings Inc. (SPR). LVNTA is a tracking stock representing the economic performance of digital and media investments, the most valuable of which are its stakes in Liberty Broadband Corp. (LBRDK) and Charter Communications Inc. (Cl A) (CHTR). LVNTA’s business model is dependent on the exceptional capital allocation skills of its Chairman, Dr. John Malone, and CEO Greg Maffei, who share a long track record of building shareholder value. In Q4 2015, we established a position in LVNTA as the market failed to fully appreciate the value of LVNTA’s assets. Displeased with the embedded discount in the stock, LVNTA management announced plans to spin off assets into separate publicly traded companies in order to reduce the company’s “complexity discount.” Executing this plan included spinning off its Expedia stake into a separate legal entity and announcing a merger with General Communication Inc. (GNCMA), the largest cable provider and second-largest wireless provider in Alaska. After the merger and reattribution of some assets and liabilities between LVNTA and QVC, LVNTA will no longer be a tracking stock, which should set up a potential tax efficient combination with CHTR or another entity in the future. Throughout the year, Charter has appreciated in value as the company’s integration of Time Warner Cable continues to progress smoothly. Furthermore, according to media reports, a variety of industry participants have expressed an interest in pursuing an acquisition of Charter.

SPR is the largest independent non-OEM designer and manufacturer of aero-structures such as fuselages, engine casings, and wing components. SPR was purchased in Q2 2016, when the company was trading at a significant discount to its peers and free cash flow generation was accelerating. Key to the investment thesis was Spirit’s entrenchment in its customers’ supply chains (Boeing and Airbus) that contributed to a seven-year revenue backlog, more than 80% of revenue under long-term exclusive contracts, and a management team willing to return capital to shareholders. In early August, SPR announced quarterly revenue and earnings above consensus expectations, raised annual guidance, and revealed that the longstanding negotiation with Boeing (dating back to 2015) had finally come to a close. The agreement with Boeing removed a major source of uncertainty and provided pricing and volume visibility through 2022. Based on the pricing agreement, management also increased free cash flow conversion guidance. Through our holding period, Spirit grew free cash flow, initiated a dividend, and retired ~15% of shares outstanding at a discount to assessed valuation.

The two holdings with the largest negative contribution to the Fund’s return were Vista Outdoor Inc. (VSTO) and L Brands Inc. (LB). Vista Outdoor Inc. (VSTO), a maker and marketer of outdoor sporting and recreation goods. VSTO was purchased in the Fund in late November 2016, well into a period of stock price weakness due to poor fiscal Q1 earnings. Our investment thesis in Vista was predicated on the company’s ability to continue consolidating the branded outdoor products market, where growth prospects are higher than the legacy hunting and shooting business. In January, VSTO unexpectedly announced a material non-cash impairment precipitated by a sharp decline in consumer spending on firearms and related accessories during the holiday season. Management further disappointed with weak guidance driven by bloated channel inventories as retailers had built large inventories of firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition expecting a different presidential election result. We lowered our fiscal 2017 and 2018 financial forecasts since it is likely to take several quarters for channel inventories to correct. With a pressing need to focus on debt reduction, our thesis

became impaired as management signaled a slower pace of M&A activity. The Fund exited the position in accordance with our sell discipline.

In February, Victoria’s Secret and Bath and Body Works which LB owns reported Q4 earnings ahead of estimates but issued disappointing guidance for Q1 and 2017 that fell short of both our and Wall Street’s expectations. Comparable sales for Q1 were expected to decline high-single digits to low-double digits, with a mid- to high-teens decline in February versus previous guidance for a mid-single digit decline. The magnitude of the deceleration in comparable sales sent shares down precipitously as investors extrapolated monthly sales results. Management acknowledged a substantial decrease in mall traffic during the month, as well as the impact of delayed tax refunds compared to last year, which was partially offset by strong online sales across both businesses. Investors remained concerned about the impact of mall traffic on comparable sales, a key risk to the investment thesis. The Fund exited the position in accordance with our sell discipline.

POSITIONING AND OUTLOOK

The Fund invests in companies that we believe represent the most attractive combination of risk (conviction) and reward (discount) available across the River Road universe of holdings. The largest changes to positioning in the Fund over the last year were a decrease in the industrials exposure and an increase to financials. Exposure to industrials decreased as several holdings approached their assessed valuations and exposure to financials increased as a larger number of opportunities emerged in the Fund’s investment universe.

We believe the Fund is attractively positioned relative to the benchmark from the perspective of valuation, quality, and long-term earnings growth. Further, if returns do moderate in the coming year, we expect the Fund’s holdings and low volatility approach to be well positioned.

THE YEAR IN REVIEW

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the AMG Managers Montag & Caldwell Growth Fund (the “Fund”) Class N shares returned 17.99%, compared to the 29.71% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000^® Growth Index. The Fund is managed using fundamental valuation techniques that focus on a company’s future earnings and dividend growth rates. The process is primarily bottom up and utilizes a present valuation model in which the current price of the stock is related to the risk adjusted present value of the company’s estimated future earnings stream. The Fund seeks to invest in growth stocks selling at a discount to estimates of fair value and at a time when relative earnings per share growth is visible for the intermediate term.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

U.S. stock indices experienced strong gains for the twelve months ended October 31, 2017, with a bias toward small cap stocks. The Russell 1000^® (large cap) Index was up 23.67%, the Russell Midcap^® Index (mid cap) was up 21.09%, and the Russell 2000^® Index (small cap) was up 27.85% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2017. There was, however, a significant bias toward growth, particularly in the second half of the 12-month period. For the full 12 months, growth outperformed value in each size segment, with the widest spread in returns between large cap growth and large cap value. As mentioned, the Russell 1000^® Growth Index (large cap growth) was up 29.71% vs. a 17.78% return for the Russell 1000^® Value Index (large cap value). The performance advantage of growth over value in both the mid cap and small cap areas was also meaningful, though less pronounced than in large cap.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

While the major indices all posted solid gains during the 12-month period, there were several notable, some would say violent, underlying rotations that occurred throughout the period. Following the U.S. presidential election and the surprise victory of Donald Trump as our 45th president, U.S. stocks embarked upon a vigorous rally to close out 2016. The rally was lopsided, however, with most of the upside coming in small cap, cyclical and value-oriented issues (like financials, energy, materials and industrials) as the biggest perceived beneficiaries of President Trump’s economic agenda, which included lower corporate taxes, lighter business regulation and potential domestic infrastructure spending. In fact, all of the return from

the Russell 1000^® Growth Index following the election could be attributed to cyclical sectors/issues. This return pattern contrasted with that of 2015 when the less cyclical sectors led the markets and the Fund outperformed both the Russell 1000^® Growth Index and the broad market S&P 500^® Index. During these initial weeks of the post-election rally, the Fund’s performance lagged the Russell 1000^® Growth benchmark, which was mostly attributable to adverse stock selection, particularly within technology, discretionary and industrials, as well as an impact from an underweight allocation to industrials and an overweight allocation to consumer staples.

The post-election market rally continued in the first quarter of 2017 with the S&P 500^® Index tacking on over 6% in total return, on top of its 5% fourth quarter post-election advance. However, there was a notable shift in leadership, particularly after the administration’s initial failure to repeal Obamacare in February. The so-called “Trump stocks” that led the initial advance took a breather and gave way to some of the secular growers within health care, technology and consumer discretionary. The lagging performance of the “Trump stocks,” which persisted well into the third quarter of 2017, seemed to coincide with a pullback in the dollar and bond yields, a sign that investors’ enthusiasm for the timing, if not the substance, of the Trump administration’s pro-growth agenda, and in particular tax reform, started to wane a bit. During this time period, the Fund benefited from solid stock selection in technology, health care, and financial services versus both the broad market S&P 500^® Index and the Russell 1000^® Growth Index. The Fund’s overweight allocation to health care also added to relative results versus both indices. In addition, results relative to the Russell 1000^® Growth Index were better due to an underweight allocation to the discretionary sector and an overweight allocation to the financial services sector. Results relative to both the S&P 500^® Index and the Russell 1000^® Growth Index were diminished by stock selection in the industrials and discretionary sectors.

The final few weeks of the period favored small cap and more cyclical areas of the market as investors once again began to anticipate the administration’s pivot away from health care reform to tax reform.

subdued. While the VIX rose briefly in response to the heightened geopolitical tensions in August, it did so from all-time low levels. Beyond that brief blip up, the VIX remained near all-time low levels. Downside market action also remained extremely limited. In fact, the market hasn’t suffered a 3% decline since right before the presidential election, and has not seen a 5% correction since June 2016, the longest such stretch in over 20 years.¹ It seems highly unlikely that this relative tranquility can persist for much longer.

OUTLOOK

While valuation and investor sentiment data continue to be red flags for the stock market, volatility remains contained and any significant market weakness is quickly met by buyers of stock. With both the stock and bond markets highly valued and a significant drawdown in share prices long overdue in our opinion, we are sensitive to any developments that could cause the market to correct. The S&P 500 median price-to-earnings ratio is currently 23.1x and is higher than 96% of historical periods.² The 10-year U.S. Treasury is also highly valued and offers only a 2.3% yield to maturity. For now, a low risk of recession, improving corporate profits, a better global economy, very accommodative policies by Central Banks throughout the developed world, a gradual and predictable increase in interest rates by our Federal Reserve and the likelihood of fiscal stimulus coming out of Congress are all supportive of the market and continue to keep it elevated.

The Fund’s holdings are benefiting from improving global economic growth due to their strong brands and entrenched global presence. In addition, they operate from financial strength and we believe will be better able to cope with what is likely to be higher interest expense as the Federal Reserve gradually raises interest rates. Importantly, the Fund’s holdings are reasonably valued based on our work and, with their favorable attributes of global diversification and financial strength, we believe are well positioned to provide attractive investment returns relative to the market in the period ahead and over the long term.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN PERFORMANCE

The AMG Managers Montag & Caldwell Growth Fund’s cumulative total return is based on the daily change in net asset value (NAV), and assumes that all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The graph compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in AMG Managers Montag & Caldwell Growth Fund’s Class N shares on October 31, 2007, to a $10,000 investment made in the Russell 1000^® Growth Index for the same time period. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on a Fund distribution or redemption of shares. The listed returns for the Fund are net of expenses and the returns for the index exclude expenses. Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced.

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 the average annual returns. The listed returns on the Fund are net of expenses and based on the published NAV as of October 31, 2017. All returns are in U.S. dollars ($).

AMG River Road Dividend All Cap Value Fund

Portfolio Manager’s Comments (unaudited)

OVERVIEW

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the AMG River Road Dividend All Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) Class N shares returned 14.79%, while the Russell 3000^® Value Index returned 18.30%.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

Over the last 12 months, the most significant market factors affecting absolute returns were the steady improvement in corporate earnings growth, the possibility of tax reform, and uncertainty about the timing of monetary tightening by the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”). Additionally, those stocks in the Russell 3000^® Value Index with lower yields outperformed those with higher yields, creating a significant relative headwind for a dividend-oriented strategy. Given these challenges, the Fund underperformed due to both sector allocation and stock selection. The energy sector had the most significant positive impact on relative results in the period, primarily due to strong stock selection, while the financials sector had the most significant negative impact on relative results due to the underweight allocation and weak stock selection.

The two holdings with the largest positive contribution to the Fund’s total return were PNC Financial Services Group Inc. (PNC), a super-regional commercial bank, and GEO Group Inc. (GEO), a REIT offering correctional and detention facilities and services to federal, state, local, and foreign governments. PNC, along with other banks, saw earnings improve significantly during Q4 2016, and stock prices followed suit. In the wake of the U.S. elections, interest rates moved higher and the yield curve steepened, leading to an improved outlook for net interest margins. Additionally, the Republican sweep of the White House and Congress raised the possibility of meaningful tax and regulatory reform, which could significantly reduce taxes and operating expenses for banks. In recognition of the positive

impact of the elections, we increased the multiples employed in our assessed values across the banking industry, including PNC. The position in PNC was trimmed as it was trading at a modest premium to the updated assessed value, the yield had declined below 2%, and it was the second-largest position early in the period, prior to reducing the position size.

GEO marched higher following the November presidential election and continued to do so in Q1, supported by a respectable Q4 earnings report and solid 2017 guidance. GEO investors received another piece of good news in late February when newly confirmed U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a memo rescinding an August 18, 2016, directive from then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates instructing the BOP (Federal Bureau of Prisons) to reduce—and ultimately end—its use of privately operated prisons.

The two holdings with the lowest contribution to the Fund’s total return during the period were QUALCOMM Inc. (QCOM), a designer and manufacturer of integrated circuits, and W.W. Grainger Inc. (GWW), an industrial distribution industry leader. In January, QCOM shares declined sharply on news that Apple Inc. (AAPL) filed a lawsuit claiming they should be able to pay QCOM a percentage of the chip price rather than a percentage of a device’s average sale price. Apple believes QCOM is unduly benefiting from its brand, which commands a higher price, while QCOM believes AAPL would not be able to charge a higher price if devices did not have the technology provided by QCOM. QCOM intends to vigorously fight the suits. In fact, QCOM countersued AAPL claiming the company failed to engage in good faith negotiations and inappropriately interfered with the contract manufacturers who produce iPhones and iPads. We believe there is support for QCOM’s stance. We trimmed the position in accordance with our sell discipline.

In April, GWW announced an unexpected acceleration of its price rationalization effort in a bid to grow market share. As the pricing cuts are expected to outweigh increased volumes in the near term, the firm was forced to cut full year guidance for 2017. Over time, GWW expects that it will expand market share and margins should rebound as increased volumes fuel operating leverage. However, it is unclear how competitors will respond to these lowered prices and whether GWW can sustain market share expansion. In the wake of GWW’s actions we reviewed and lowered our assessed valuation and conviction and reduced the position. We ultimately eliminated the position in August due to unrealized losses.

POSITIONING AND OUTLOOK

The Fund is significantly overweight in industrials and real estate and significantly underweight in financials and health care. Industrials went from +1.3% to +6.6% overweight versus the Russell 3000^® Value benchmark, driven by the addition of four new positions to the Fund in this sector. Real estate ended the period at +5.5% overweight versus the benchmark. Driven by the elimination of three holdings, the underweight in financials increased from -8.0% to -12.2% versus the benchmark, and health care ended the period at -10.0% underweight. Our outlook for the market is cautious, but reasons to be optimistic about the underlying economy are increasing. From either a valuation or a foreign policy perspective, risks remain elevated and we continue to expect the relative return of the Fund to improve as downside volatility increases.

AMG River Road Dividend All Cap Value Fund II
Portfolio Manager’s Comments (unaudited)

OVERVIEW

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the AMG River Road Dividend All Cap Value Fund II (the “Fund”) Class N shares returned 15.33%, while the Russell 3000^® Value Index returned 18.30%.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The two holdings with the largest positive contribution to the Fund’s total return were PNC Financial Services Group Inc. (PNC), a super-regional commercial bank, and GEO Group Inc. (GEO), a REIT offering correctional and detention facilities and services to federal, state, local and foreign governments. PNC, along with other banks, saw earnings improve significantly during Q4 2016, and stock prices followed suit. In the wake of the U.S. elections, interest rates moved higher and the yield curve steepened, leading to an improved outlook for net interest margins. Additionally, the Republican sweep of the White House and Congress raised the possibility of meaningful tax and regulatory reform, which could significantly reduce taxes and operating expenses for banks. In recognition of the positive

The two holdings with the lowest contribution to the Fund’s total return during the period were QUALCOMM Inc. (QCOM), a designer and manufacturer of integrated circuits, and W.W. Grainger Inc. (GWW), an industrial distribution industry leader. In January, QCOM shares declined sharply on news that Apple Inc. (AAPL) filed a lawsuit claiming they should be able to pay QCOM a percentage of the chip price rather than a percentage of a device’s average sale price. Apple believes QCOM is unduly benefiting from its brand, which commands a higher price, while QCOM believes AAPL would not be able to charge a higher price if devices did not have the technology provided by QCOM. QCOM intends to vigorously fight the suits. In fact, QCOM countersued AAPL claiming the company failed to engage in good faith negotiations, and inappropriately interfered with the contract manufacturers who produce iPhones and iPads. We believe there is support for QCOM’s stance. We trimmed the position in accordance with our sell discipline.

POSITIONING AND OUTLOOK

The Fund is significantly overweight in industrials and real estate and significantly underweight in financials and health care. Industrials went from +1.3% to +7.3% overweight versus the Russell 3000^® Value benchmark, driven by the addition of four new positions to the Fund in this sector. Real estate ended the period at +6.0% overweight versus the benchmark. Driven by the elimination of three holdings, the underweight in financials increased from -8.0% to -12.5% versus the benchmark, and health care ended the period at -9.7% underweight. Our outlook for the market is cautious, but reasons to be optimistic about the underlying economy are increasing. From either a valuation or foreign policy perspective, risks remain elevated and we continue to expect the relative return of the Fund to improve as downside volatility increases.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN PERFORMANCE

The AMG River Road Dividend All Cap Value Fund II’s cumulative total return is based on the daily change in net asset value (NAV), and assumes that all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The graph compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in AMG River Road Dividend All Cap Value Fund II’s Class N shares on June 27, 2012, to a $10,000 investment made in the Russell 3000^® Value Index for the same time period. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on a Fund distribution or redemption of shares. The listed returns for the Fund are net of expenses and the returns for the index exclude expenses. Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced.

²	An issuer of a security may be unwilling or unable to pay income on a security. Common stocks do not assure dividend payments and are paid only when declared by an issuer’s board of directors.

³	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.

⁴	The Fund is subject to risks associated with investments in mid-capitalization companies such as greater price volatility, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than the stocks of larger, more established companies.

⁵	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.

⁶	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.

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.

AMG Managers Fairpointe Mid Cap Fund
Portfolio Manager’s Comments (unaudited)

OVERVIEW

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the AMG Managers Fairpointe Mid Cap Fund (the “Fund”) Class N shares returned 16.87%, while the S&P MidCap 400^® Index returned 23.48%.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

Equity markets began fiscal 2017 with a post-election rally, and the momentum continued. Drivers of relative performance for the Fund included strong stock selection in the materials sector and a positive contribution from an underweight position in real estate, offset by underperformance in the industrial and technology sectors. Markets were unusually calm with a lack of volatility; the largest selloff of approximately 5% in the S&P 400 Index came in August.

The top five contributors to performance were: The New York Times Company (NYT), FMC Corporation (FMC), Adtalem Global Education Inc. (ATGE, formerly DeVry Education Group), Cree, Inc. (CREE) and United States Steel Corporation (X). We highlight three contributors below.

The New York Times Company continues to benefit from a mesmerizing news cycle and reputation as a trusted brand. Digital subscriptions grew over 60% this year, exceeding estimates.

FMC Corporation acquired DuPont’s agricultural crop protection business in an accretive transaction. The company also plans to spin off its small but highly profitable lithium business, which provides lithium for electric vehicle batteries.

Adtalem Global Education removed a large overhang when it settled investigations into past marketing practices. A new management team has reduced costs and invested in growth areas.

Detractors from performance included Mattel, Inc. (MAT), Chicago Bridge & Iron Company (CBI), Akamai Technologies Inc. (AKAM), TechnipFMC plc (FTI) and Stericycle, Inc. (SRCL). We highlight three of these detractors below.

Mattel management is invigorating core brands with more emphasis on digital toys in partnership with technology companies like Google. This has been a difficult year for Mattel, beginning with an inventory overhang from a disappointing 2016 holiday season and the recent bankruptcy announcement by Toys “R” Us. However, we believe the tide is turning in Mattel’s favor, as core brands are showing improvement, new movies for Barbie and Toy Story are being planned, and strategic initiatives take hold. With this outlook, the current valuation is compelling.

Chicago Bridge & Iron Company declined due to cost overruns on several large projects. A new CEO is focused on improving project execution and profitability. The company is in the process of selling its technology unit, and we expect proceeds to be used to pay off debt. We believe shares are undervalued given earnings potential.

Akamai Technologies announced lower- than-expected revenue in its content delivery segment and increased spending on product development. While the stock declined on this revised near-term outlook, we expect these expenditures to be beneficial for long-term growth.

PERSPECTIVE AND OUTLOOK

The OECD forecast for global GDP growth is 3.5% for 2017, an acceleration from 3% in 2016¹. In the U.S., with the unemployment rate down to 4.3%2, the economy was strong enough for the Fed to raise interest rates three times in fiscal 2017.

At the end of October, the S&P 400 and Russell MidCap benchmarks were trading at 17.4x and 17.0x projected 2018 earnings, respectively. In comparison, the Fund traded at 14.9x expected 2018 earnings3.We believe the Fund is well positioned to generate earnings growth and multiple expansion over the next several years, relative to its benchmarks.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN PERFORMANCE

The AMG Managers Fairpointe Mid Cap Fund’s cumulative total return is based on the daily change in net asset value (NAV), and assumes that all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The graph compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in AMG Managers Fairpointe Mid Cap Fund’s Class N shares on October 31, 2007, to a $10,000 investment made in the S&P MidCap 400^® Index and Russell Midcap Index for the same time period. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on a Fund distribution or redemption of shares. The listed returns for the Fund are net of expenses and the returns for the index exclude expenses. Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced.

²	The Fund is subject to risks associated with investments in mid-capitalization companies such as greater price volatility, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than the stocks of larger, more established companies.

³	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.

⁴	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.

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.

AMG Managers Montag & Caldwell Mid Cap Growth Fund
Portfolio Manager’s Comments (unaudited)

OVERVIEW

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the AMG Managers Montag & Caldwell Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) Class N shares returned 19.09%, compared with the 26.25% return for its benchmark, the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index. The Fund is managed using fundamental analysis that focuses on a company’s future earnings and dividend growth potential. The process is primarily bottom up and utilizes an intrinsic valuation model in which the current price of the stock is related to the present value of the company’s estimated future earnings and dividend streams. The Fund seeks to invest in mid cap growth stocks selling at a discount to our estimate of fair value and whose earnings per share are growing faster than the market.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Stocks posted a strong rally over the past year led by small caps followed by large caps and then mid caps. The Russell 2000^® Index (small cap) was up 27.8%, the Russell 1000^® Index (large cap) was up 23.7%, and the Russell Midcap^® Index (mid cap) was up 21.1%. Contrary to the prior year, growth strongly outperformed value across the market cap spectrum. The Russell 2000^® Growth Index (small cap growth) was up 31.0%, compared to a 24.8% return for the Russell 2000^® Value Index (small cap value). The Russell 1000^® Growth Index (large cap growth) was up 29.7%, versus a return of 17.8% for the Russell 1000^® Value Index (large cap value). And the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index (mid cap growth) was up 26.3%, compared to a 17.1% return for the Russell Midcap^® Value Index (mid cap value).

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The market staged a powerful rally in the immediate aftermath of Donald Trump’s election a year ago and has continued to march steadily higher ever since with very little volatility. The initial election reaction caused the dollar to soar, bond yields to spike, and

shares of cyclicals such as financials, energy, materials and industrials to rally on the hopes that a Republican-controlled Congress would push through Trump’s pro-growth agenda of tax reform, increased infrastructure spending and reduced regulatory burdens.

The “Trump rally” eventually gave way to reality when congressional Republicans failed to pass healthcare “repeal and replace” legislation, signaling potential difficulties getting more ambitious tax reform legislation through Congress. Stocks, however, continued to grind higher fueled by improving global economic growth, rising corporate profits and sustained central bank accommodation. Market leadership shifted from the cyclicals back to the secular growers, especially technology, over the spring and summer months thanks to falling bond yields and a weaker dollar. More recently, the “Trump stocks” have seemingly regained favor on renewed hopes for tax cuts.

Underpinning the steady rise in stocks this past year has been record low volatility. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) (aka the “Fear Gauge”) has recently tested multi-decade lows at or below 9.0.¹ Meanwhile, the last time the S&P 500^® experienced as much as a 3% pullback from its highs was before last year’s election, a record streak, and the percentage of bulls in the weekly Investors’ Intelligence survey is within 3% of its high. All are troubling signs of investor complacency.

Furthermore, this lack of stock market volatility continues to rob active managers like ourselves of the ability to add alpha by selling stocks when they get pricey and reinvesting once they have experienced a pullback and are selling at more reasonable valuations. For the year ended October 31, 2017, the Fund returned 19.09%, compared to the 26.25% return for the Russell Midcap^® Growth Index. The Fund’s lagging performance versus the benchmark can be

explained partly by sector allocation and partly by individual stock selection. An overweight position in industrials, an underweight in health care, and an allocation to cash amidst a strong market advance all weighed against relative performance. Individual stocks that weighed most heavily on relative performance this past year include Newell Brands, Hanesbrands, Molson Coors, O’Reilly Automotive, and Acuity Brands. Also, not owning shares of NVIDIA was a major drag. Partially offsetting this have been strong performances from Arista Networks, VCA Inc., Panera Bread, Raymond James Financial and ANSYS.

OUTLOOK

Looking ahead, we remain concerned with elevated valuations, investor complacency and suppressed market volatility, although these remain pre-conditions to a market decline, not catalysts themselves. We expect the market could continue to be supported in the near term by low risk of recession, an improving global economy and rising corporate profits, accommodative central bank policies, a gradual and predictable increase in interest rates by our Federal Reserve (the Fed) and the possibility of fiscal stimulus. Changes to any of these factors, however, could be a cause for the market to sell off.

We continue to have high conviction in the Fund’s holdings, believing this portfolio of high-quality midcap growth stocks offers a compelling combination of above-average profit growth at reasonable valuations. We believe the odds favor renewed market volatility in the period ahead and feel confident that the Fund’s holdings should hold up better during more challenging markets.

AMG Managers LMCG Small Cap Growth Fund
Portfolio Manager’s Comments (unaudited)

The AMG Managers LMCG Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) Class N shares returned 25.5% for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, compared with a 31.0% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2000^® Growth Index.

Stocks closed out a volatile 2016 with full-year returns for many market segments ranging from low-single-digit gains to very strong gains. Markets opened 2017 buoyed by improving economic data and anticipated policy changes in interest rates and corporate tax rates. Among U.S. small caps, growth stocks are ahead of their value counterparts in the twelve months ending 10/31/2017; the Russell 2000^® Growth Index returned 31.0% for the period, vs. 24.8% for the Russell 2000^® Value Index. From a size perspective, the strongest returns were found in small caps. The Russell 2000^® Index returned 27.9%, while the Russell Midcap^® Index finished at 21.1% and the Russell 1000^® Index returned 23.7%.

The Fund underperformed in the period as a result of several factors. Our growth strategy seeks to identify unrecognized growth potential wherever it exists, across all sectors and industries. The run-up to the U.S. presidential election, the days following the election, and the subsequent regulatory overhang weighed on our health care holdings and muted the positive attribution we saw in other areas of the portfolio. Health care positioning and stock selection is responsible for much of the relative shortfall. Companies in the healthcare services segment

struggled on concerns about the impact of a proposed repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Tenet Healthcare and Envision underperformed for the period. Our holdings in biotech, where we are historically often underweight, lagged the benchmark as well. In industrials, supply chain management company Echo Global Logistics and electrical equipment manufacturer Acuity Brands weighed on performance; the portfolio’s underweight to the sector also hurt relative returns, although that underweight has decreased as we have found more opportunity in the space in recent months.

The portfolio benefited from our underweight to staples, along with good stock selection in beverages (namely National Beverage). Relative comparisons were also helped by avoiding some segments of the benchmark that underperformed, like food products. In discretionary, our overweight hurt performance but relative performance benefitted from positive stock selection. In industrials, top 10 holdings SiteOne Landscape Supply and Beacon Roofing Supply were particularly strong.

With the exception of the biotech rally in the most recent quarter, the market’s focus over the last several months on company fundamentals rather than macro events and/or stylistic factors is supportive to our investment returns going forward. These opportunities, combined with our ability to

identify companies offering underappreciated, unrecognized growth potential, leave us optimistic going forward. As we enter the last three months of the year, our portfolio is fairly neutral in terms of sector weights. We do not currently have overlarge bets in any sectors. Our portfolio is most overweight the financials, consumer discretionary and materials sectors, and our largest underweights are in information technology and real estate. As always, these weights are a fallout of our fundamental bottom-up investment process.

Additionally, we continue to evaluate new opportunities and have found several new investments that should add to results in the future and are in line with the disciplined process that has resulted in strong long-term results for our clients. These new stocks have come across multiple industry sectors, including large sectors like healthcare and technology and smaller sectors such as energy and financials. Importantly, many of the largest positions in our portfolio as of October 31 are poised for potential appreciation based on Street expectations (measured by, for example, the average price target across sell-side analysts on Bloomberg). We feel very confident in our companies going forward.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN PERFORMANCE

The AMG Managers LMCG Small Cap Growth Fund’s cumulative total return is based on the daily change in net asset value (NAV), and assumes that all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The graph compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in AMG Managers LMCG Small Cap Growth Fund’s Class N shares on November 3, 2010, to a $10,000 investment made in the Russell 2000^® Growth Index for the same time period. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on a Fund distribution or redemption of shares. The listed returns for the Fund are net of expenses and the returns for the index exclude expenses. Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced.

^†	Date reflects the inception date of the Fund, not the index.

²	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.

³	Active and frequent trading of a fund may result in higher transaction costs and increased tax liability.

⁴	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.

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

Investing in initial public offerings (IPOs) is risky and the prices of stocks purchased in IPOs tend to fluctuate more widely than stocks of companies that have been publicly traded for a longer period of time. Stocks purchased in IPOs generally do not have a trading history, and information about the companies may be available for very limited periods.

⁷	The Fund is subject to risks associated with investments in mid-capitalization companies such as greater price volatility, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than the stocks of larger, more established companies.

⁸	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.

⁹	The Russell 2000^® Growth Index measures the performance of the Russell 2000^® companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Unlike the Fund, the Russell 2000^® Growth Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment and does not incur expenses.

AMG River Road Small-Mid Cap Value Fund
Portfolio Manager’s Comments (unaudited)

OVERVIEW

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the AMG River Road Small-Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”), (formerly AMG River Road Select Value Fund) Class N shares returned 26.18%, outperforming the Russell 2500^® Value Index return of 19.97%.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The two holdings with the largest positive contribution to the Fund’s return were Liberty Interactive Corp. Ventures Series A (LVNTA) and Fidelity National Financial Inc. – FNFV Group (FNFV). FNFV is a collection of investments in operating companies in various industries that are opportunistically managed by the company’s chairman, Bill Foley. FNFV currently has ownership stakes in an HR software company (Ceridian), various restaurant brands (O’Charley’s, Village Inn, Bakers Square, 99), and a healthcare IT platform company called T-System Holdings. FNFV’s Ceridian posted strong revenue growth and margin expansion during 2017 in its Dayforce cloud segment. We believe Ceridian is now positioned for an IPO or outright sale in the near future. To help monetize a portion of its restaurant holdings, FNFV agreed to merge its 55%-owned 99 Restaurant Group with J. Alexander’s Holdings Inc. (JAX). FNFV also sold its insurance broker One Digital for $560 million in cash. Lastly, FNFV is near conversion to a common stock

from a tracking stock, which will likely increase management’s flexibility for M&A and make the stock more widely eligible for institutional ownership. The position was trimmed as the stock approached our assessed value. LVNTA is also a tracking stock and is invested in cable companies both publicly and privately. LVNTA owns 42.7 million shares of Liberty Broadband (LBRDK), 5.4 million shares of Charter Communications (CHTR), and has agreed to acquire Alaska’s largest cable provider General Communication Inc. (GNCMA). Our investment thesis that cord-cutting fears of pay TV are overblown and that broadband will gain market share and maintain pricing power has begun to play out. Once the GNCMA deal closes, LVNTA will also be converted to a common stock. This should set up a potential tax efficient combination with CHTR or another entity down the road. We maintained our position as the stock still trades at a sizable discount to our assessed valuation.

The two holdings with the largest negative contribution to the Fund’s return were Ingles Markets Inc. (Cl A) (IMKTA) and Vista Outdoor Inc. (VSTO). Shares of Ingles began to decline following Amazon’s announcement to acquire Whole Foods Market, which ignited fears regarding increased competition in the grocery space. Ingles is based in Asheville, NC, and was founded in 1965. It has 201 stores mostly located in small towns in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. We believe IMKTA is unique in that the company owns the real estate at 77% of its stores, owns the entire shopping center at 37% of its stores, and often has the best locations. The mountainous terrain in many of the company’s markets makes it far more expensive to build a new store because new locations require extensive site preparation. This acts

as a barrier to new competition in many towns served by Ingles. Also, Whole Foods has very little presence in Ingles’s markets. We took no action on the position. Vista is a maker and marketer of outdoor sporting and recreation goods and is the largest manufacturer of gun ammunition in the United States. The company has reported disappointing results in 2017 due to a sharp decline in consumer spending on firearms and related accessories after the U.S. presidential election. Making matters worse, retailers built large inventories of firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition expecting a different election result. It is likely to take several quarters for bloated channel inventories to correct. We sold the position in the Fund in accordance with our sell discipline.

OUTLOOK AND POSITIONING

We continue to position the Fund in shares of high quality companies that we believe will perform well in a sustained period of weak-to-moderate economic growth. Rapidly rising equity prices paired with modest earnings growth over the past several years has resulted in unattractive valuations in the broader small cap market. As a result, identifying companies to replace those that are being sold at their assessed valuations is challenging. If returns do moderate over the coming months, we expect the Fund’s holdings and low volatility approach to be well positioned.

AMG River Road Small Cap Value Fund

Portfolio Manager’s Comments (unaudited)

OVERVIEW

For the fiscal year ended October 31. 2017, the AMG River Road Small Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) Class N shares returned 23.43%, trailing the 24.81% return for the Russell 2000^® Value Index.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The sector with the largest positive contribution to relative return was real estate, which benefited from strong stock selection and an underweight allocation. The sector with the largest negative contribution to relative return was consumer staples, which lagged due to poor stock selection. The Fund’s cash position, which averaged approximately 8% during the period, was also a detractor to relative performance, given the strong returns of the overall market.

The two holdings with the largest positive contribution to the Fund’s return were Fidelity National Financial Inc. – FNFV Group (FNFV) and Air Transport Services Group (ATSG). FNFV Group is a collection of investments in operating companies in various industries that are opportunistically managed by the company’s chairman, Bill Foley. FNFV currently has ownership stakes in an HR software company (Ceridian), various restaurant brands (O’Charley’s, Village Inn, Bakers Square, 99), and a health care IT platform company called T-System Holdings. FNFV’s Ceridian posted strong revenue growth and margin expansion during 2017 in its Dayforce cloud segment. We believe Ceridian is now positioned for an IPO or outright sale in the near future. To help monetize a portion of its restaurant holdings, FNFV agreed to merge its 55%-owned 99

Restaurant Group with J. Alexander’s Holdings Inc. (JAX). FNFV also sold its insurance broker One Digital for $560 million in cash. Lastly, FNFV is near conversion to a common stock from a tracking stock, which will likely increase management’s flexibility for M&A and make the stock more widely eligible for institutional ownership. The position was trimmed as the stock approached our assessed value. ATSG is the largest independent lessor of the Boeing 767, which are the most cost-effective aircraft for just-in-time freight delivery. In early 2017, ATSG finished delivering 20 aircraft to Amazon under long-term contracts, which created significant revenue growth and improved efficiencies in operations. We significantly trimmed the position at our assessed value.

The two holdings with the largest negative contribution to the Fund’s return were grocery store chains: Ingles Markets Inc. (Cl A) (IMKTA) and Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage Inc. (NGVC). The shares of both companies began to decline when Amazon announced a deal to acquire Whole Foods Market, sparking fear regarding increased competition in the grocery industry. Ingles is based in Asheville, NC, and was founded in 1965. It has 201 stores mostly located in small towns in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. We believe IMKTA is unique in that the company owns the real estate at 77% of its stores, owns the entire shopping center at 37% of its stores, and often has the best locations. The mountainous terrain in many of the company’s markets makes it far more expensive to build a new store because new locations require extensive site preparation. This acts as a barrier to new competition in many towns

served by Ingles. Also, Whole Foods has very little presence in Ingles’s markets. We took no action on the position. NGVC is a small chain on the west coast with 135 stores that focus on natural/organic foods plus dietary supplements. Increased competition slowed sales growth, and higher wage pressures and occupancy costs negatively impacted profitability in 2017. We believe recent margin compression will be a permanent change for the company, which does not own its real estate and operates in more urban markets. We eliminated the position from the Fund as part of our sell discipline.

OUTLOOK AND POSITIONING

We continue to position the Fund in shares of high quality companies that we believe will perform well in a sustained period of weak-to-moderate economic growth. Rapidly rising equity prices paired with modest earnings growth over the past several years has resulted in unattractive valuations in the broader small cap market. As a result, identifying companies to replace those that are being sold at their assessed valuations is challenging. Thus, cash in the Fund is at the higher end of its historical range. If returns do moderate over the coming months, we expect the Fund’s holdings and low volatility approach to be well positioned.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN PERFORMANCE

The AMG River Road Small Cap Value Fund’s cumulative total return is based on the daily change in net asset value (NAV), and assumes that all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The graph compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in AMG River Road Small Cap Value Fund’s Class N shares on October 31, 2007, to a $10,000 investment made in the Russell 2000^® Value Index for the same time period. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on a Fund distribution or redemption of shares. The listed returns for the Fund are net of expenses and the returns for the index exclude expenses. Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced.

REVIEW AND OUTLOOK

The AMG Managers Silvercrest Small Cap Fund (the “Fund”) Class N shares returned 25.83% for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, compared with a 24.81% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2000^® Value Index.

We saw a modest positive impact on relative performance from our various sector over/under weightings versus the Russell 2000^® Value Index, with our overweights in producer durables and healthcare and our underweight in utilities having the greatest impact. Our cash position, while relatively modest at an average weight of less than 3%, hurt us given the strong equity return over the period. As is typical for us, the bulk of our positive performance relative to the index was from stock selection. We enjoyed excellent relative performance in technology, with our holdings gaining 61% versus 31% for the benchmark. Together with our overweighted positioning, technology represented our largest contribution to return at the sector level. We also performed relatively well in our largest sector exposure, financial services (+31% vs. +25%), and in consumer discretionary (+32% vs. +19%). On the negative side, our weakest sector contribution to return was in producer durables (+20% vs. +38%),

where we were hurt by our single worst performer Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises (-83%). Babcock, obviously, was quite a disappointment and we eliminated our position. We also lagged in healthcare (+34% vs. +43%), where despite a strong absolute return we couldn’t quite keep up with the powerful return from the index’s biotechnology holdings, which we generally find ill-suited to our investment philosophy.

Our largest individual contributors to return included MKS Instruments and Entegris, which both gained over 100% for the year, benefiting from strong demand in the semiconductor industry. Fox Factory Holdings, a provider of suspension products for bikes and powered vehicles, gained substantially on strong earnings results and excitement over growing content in the sport truck market.

Our largest detractors from return included the aforementioned Babcock & Wilcox, an engineering and construction company where cost overruns on various projects dramatically reduced the earnings outlook. Finish Line, an athletic footwear and apparel retailer also performed poorly in a weak environment for many mall-based sports-oriented retailers.

Looking forward, we are struck by the generally optimistic tone we are hearing from most of our company management teams. Current economic conditions around the world appear favorable, which has led to generally solid earnings results over the past year. Corporate balance sheets remain in good shape, cash flow is solid, and potential tax reform would be a plus. While we are disappointed in not seeing any M+A activity in the portfolio this year after three of our holdings were targeted last year, we continue to believe there is substantial franchise value in our names and expect to see more activity in the years ahead. Within the portfolio, we have been relatively active, trimming/eliminating some tenured holdings to keep the portfolio’s valuation and market cap reasonable. We would expect a modest increase in our name count as we redeploy those assets. Overall, while political wrangling and global intrigue may influence the market on a day-to-day basis, we are comforted by what we see as a still constructive earnings outlook that leaves our portfolio appearing modestly undervalued.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN PERFORMANCE

The AMG Managers Silvercrest Small Cap Fund’s cumulative total return is based on the daily change in net asset value (NAV), and assumes that all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The graph compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in AMG Managers Silvercrest Small Cap Fund’s Class N shares on December 27, 2011, to a $10,000 investment made in the Russell 2000^® Value Index and Russell 2000^® Index for the same time period. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on a Fund distribution or redemption of shares. The listed returns for the Fund are net of expenses and the returns for the index exclude expenses. Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced.

AMG GW&K U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund
Portfolio Manager’s Comments (unaudited)

THE YEAR IN REVIEW

For the fiscal year ending October 31, 2017, the AMG GW&K U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) Class N shares returned 30.91% compared to the return of 31.00% for the Russell 2000^® Growth Index.

This measurement period began with a bang—the surprising (to many professional observers, at least) election of a businessman and political novice to the highest office in the land. This outcome, along with the Republican sweep of Congress, catalyzed a dramatic swing in market sentiment. Investors moved from positioning for a Washington and macroeconomic status quo (or perhaps even a tilt in the Senate toward Democrats) to a political landscape dominated by the Republican ticket. Making the situation even more interesting was the lack of a clearly articulated ideology for the incoming administration. This blank slate permitted investors to imagine the most positive outcomes this newly elected leader might be able to accomplish. And dream they did, driving equity prices up on hope of lower taxes, lower regulation, and beneficial infrastructure spending which would drive overall higher growth rates for both the economy and corporate profits.

The narrative for a market rally was set up by the preceding two and a half years, when corporate profits stalled and small cap growth stocks had mostly vacillated. This was compounded by a macro overlay where investors were obsessed with safety and embraced the idea that low rates and low growth were here to stay. The result was too much emphasis on safety and low growth trades, while avoiding cyclical growth at all costs. Furthermore, stocks had pulled back considerably heading into the election as the Russell 2000^® Growth Index sat 7.3% off its recent high. Thus, while the election was the spark that started the fire, the dry kindling and crumpled newspaper were already in the fireplace. This fire produced a return of 9.0% in the month of November alone for U.S. small cap growth stocks. The subsequent market gains were generally more orderly than this initial burst of excitement, but they were gains nonetheless as the Russell 2000^® Growth Index returned a total of 31.0% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2017. While the legislative agenda of the administration did not materialize over this span, the potential for progress remained a tantalizing prospect for investors. Perhaps more importantly for stocks, over this time frame the market digested respectable earnings growth, generally improving economic data, and disciplined monetary policy which translated into meaningful gains for stocks.

This rally demonstrated some modest preferences for lower quality stocks and increasing risk profiles. These characteristics can be seen in looking at the style factors where non-earners and high beta (sensitivity to market movements) stocks were outperformers during the period. Further evidence of the risk-on dynamics at play can be found in looking at the sector returns as two of the three worst performers were the prosaic consumer staples 6.6% and real estate 21.7% sectors. Rounding out the bottom three was energy 17.8%, as the sector continued its slide from the preceding 12-month period. While the decline in energy was striking, its impact on the benchmark was not given that it constitutes little more than 1% of the Index. Another marginal sector formed the opposite bookend on performance with the diminutive telecommunication services (less than 1% of the benchmark) posting an eye-popping gain of 63.6%. The move in this sector was fairly idiosyncratic as the M&A activity of two constituents (Straight Path Communications and General Communication) played a significant role in the gains for this group. In looking at the remaining meaningful sectors, the strength in the market was broad based as all but consumer discretionary 22.4% posted a return of better than 30%. The leaders of this pack were materials 38.6% and health care 37.2%. Within health care, the biotechnology industry was a notable contributor given its gain of 54.8%, lending further credence to the idea of a risk-on rally.

The Fund produced an attractive absolute return of 30.91% during the measurement period. The Fund’s relative performance finished in line with the Index. The Fund had strong stock selection distributed across the Fund’s portfolio as a total of six sectors (information technology, industrials, consumer discretionary, energy, financials and real estate) demonstrated positive stock selection. The biggest contributor was the information technology sector where nearly all of our positions produced double-digit percentage returns during the period. The strength in the overall sector 33.4% certainly created an attractive environment, but having 21 out of 22 holdings post gains of better than 10% seems noteworthy nonetheless. There were a number of significant contributors to our performance including six stocks (Cabot Microelectronics, Zebra Technologies, Cognex, Mimecast, Blackbaud and HubSpot) that rallied by more than 50%. Good earnings results were a frequent driver of our information technology stocks, with M&A activity providing a modest incremental boost. Specifically, IntraLinks and Xactly were beneficiaries of acquisition offers during the period.

At the other end of the performance spectrum, the health care, materials and consumer staples sectors were the only ones to report negative stock selection. Of the three, health care was by far the most impactful. The weakness in health care can be attributed to our underweight position in the biotechnology industry combined with our position in one stock. As previously mentioned, the biotechnology industry was very strong during the period, boasting a gain of 54.8%. The difficulty of finding biotechnology companies that meet our investment requirements means that we usually carry an underweight position in the industry and the preceding twelve months were no different. We have generally made progress over the past few years in narrowing our underweight. However, anything less than an equal weight position is likely to create a headwind for results when a sector or industry beats the rest of the Index by more than 2,000 basis points, as was the case with biotechnology during the period. The remainder of the underperformance in health care can be attributed to our ownership of shares in Inotek. This stock was more than cut in half in January on the heels of weak data for its lead drug candidate. We subsequently exited our position as we no longer had confidence in the company’s ability to bring a drug to market in a timely fashion. Other top detractors in health care included DBV Technologies, Endologix, Inc, and Impax Laboratories. We had a few strong performers elsewhere in biotechnology, most notably Amicus Therapeutics which more than doubled during the period. However, it was not enough to offset the deleterious impact of Inotek.

Our recent trading activity has been fairly normal as our long-term approach leads to relatively low turnover. At a high level, the most notable uses of cash during the period were the industrials and health care sectors, as we narrowed our underweight in the case of the former and swung from an underweight to an overweight in the case of the latter. As is typical of our approach the overweights and underweights in any given sector tend to be fairly modest and are driven by our bottom-up stock selection process. The most notable source of capital for this trading activity was a reduction in our overweight position in the financials sector. The main driver of this change was the sale of one our largest positions, MarketAxess, once that

stock exceeded our market cap threshold. MarketAxess was but one example of a forced sale during the period. We sold one other position due to its market cap, along with a host of others that were acquired, including Team Health, CEB, and PrivateBancorp, as well as the previously discussed

Xactly and IntraLinks. These forced sales present welcome, high class problems of needing to redeploy capital to other ideas. We successful solved these specific problems to such an extent that we actually reduced our cash position during the period.

AMG Managers DoubleLine Core Plus Bond Fund

Portfolio Manager’s Comments (unaudited)

Overview

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the AMG Managers DoubleLine Core Plus Bond Fund (the “Fund”) Class N shares returned 2.68%, while the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 0.90%.

Market Review and Outlook

At the beginning of 2017, DoubleLine predicted lower 10-year Treasury (UST10) yields, 2-3 interest rate hikes during 2017 and the potential for UST10 yields to rise during the second half of 2017, finishing above the year-end 2016 2.45% level. While many economists called for increased UST yields, we believed the data supported the possibility of a move lower before increasing. Time will tell for UST10 yields but, after two successful rate hikes this year, it appears the U.S. Federal Reserve (the Fed) will finally meet their own expectations. We believe the true probability is accurately reflected in the futures market, and the Fed will hike rates once more by year-end.

One of the biggest market events recently was the Fed announcing plans to begin unwinding their $4.5 trillion balance sheet in October. At DoubleLine, we believe quantitative easing (QE) has been highly correlated with higher pricing of risk assets. The S&P 500^® Index has moved up almost in tandem with the Fed’s balance sheet increases. One might conclude that if QE supports risk assets, then QT (quantitative tightening) will hurt. DoubleLine believes the beginning of a reduction of the Fed’s balance sheet raises some long-term concern for risk assets, particularly U.S. equities and corporate bonds.

However, investors seem to not yet share our long-term concern about the impact on risk assets, and instead seem more concerned with the effect on treasuries and agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS). For both treasuries and agency MBS, the plan is to implement a redemption cap which would allow securities to roll off in the form of a “step function.” For the smaller holding of agency MBS, the Fed will

allow reinvestment through 2018, with future pay downs not reinvested. While certain to add supply, the implementation will be very gradual, and demand for treasury and agency MBS remains strong domestically and internationally. We further believe the gradual reductions will be transparent and the potential spread widening for agency MBS will be minimal. If spread widening does occur, we expect it to have a bigger impact on credit sectors as investors decide whether to own credit risk for potentially the same amount of yield and duration of a treasury or agency MBS.

Growth expectations remain strong in the United States. Unemployment has fallen below the estimated full-employment level to 4.2%1. Consumer confidence remains strong, evidenced by the Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index rising to 125.9 in October, the highest since December 2000.2 Meanwhile, business activity continues to expand as measured by the ISM Manufacturing Index and the ISM Non-Manufacturing Index increasing. None of our internal indicators are signaling a recession.

We continue to see little value in short-term treasuries, and remain tactically bearish on the longer maturities. We believe UST10 yields will continue range bound, but likely move higher over the next few months. We remain bearish on European government bonds due to their long duration and low yields. Generally, we maintain a higher credit quality bias. In a positive economic environment, the UST10 yield has historically significantly exceeded the 2-year. Weakening economic conditions tend to be evidenced by the spread narrowing and curve flattening.

In conclusion, we continue to monitor both the lack of volatility and higher valuations among risk assets. While we are not forecasting a recession soon, future delays and disappointments in economic policy, rising bond yields and subpar growth all could lead to investor uncertainty. Given that backdrop, we remain defensive in terms of the risk we are taking in the Fund.

Performance and Positioning

The AMG DoubleLine Core Plus Bond Fund outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s return of 0.90% over the trailing 12-month period ending October 31, 2017. The outperformance can largely be attributed to strong performance from emerging markets fixed income (EMFI) and high yield corporate debt. Additionally, the Fund began investing in infrastructure related debt in October of last year and has been ramping up exposure steadily over the past 12-month period. Although still only a small percentage of the Fund, infrastructure debt has proven to be a promising new sector by outperforming its respective benchmark nearly every month, with the exception of November 2016. The Fund also slightly increased its exposure to non-agency MBS while simultaneously decreasing its exposure to agency MBS. Non-agency MBS contributed positively with the largest contributions coming from allocations to alt-A collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and prime mortgages. Other sectors such as investment grade corporate bonds, CMBS and asset-backed securities (ABS) all posted positive returns as spreads continued to tighten. Over the past 12-month period, the U.S. yield curve steepened, with higher rates both in the short and long ends of the yield curve. As a result of the steeper curve, U.S. Treasuries, agency MBS, and municipal bonds detracted from the overall performance of the Fund (although still outperforming their respective benchmarks). Over the past year, the Fund has decreased exposure to these sectors collectively by more than 7%.

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.

³	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.

⁴

⁵	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.

⁶	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.

⁷	Bank loans are subject to the credit risk of nonpayment of principal or interest.

⁸

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.

⁹	Factors unique to the municipal bond market may negatively affect the value in municipal bonds.

¹⁰

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.

¹¹	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 index is unmanaged, is not available for investment and does not incur expenses.

AMG Managers Lake Partners LASSO Alternatives Fund

Portfolio Manager’s Comments (unaudited)

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the AMG Managers Lake Partners LASSO Alternatives Fund (the “Fund”) Class I shares returned 5.74%. In comparison, the Fund’s benchmark, the HFRX Equity Hedge Index, was up 9.69%. However, the Fund outperformed the median of its peer group, the Morningstar Multialternative Category, which rose 5.3%. Since its inception¹, the Fund has generated a cumulative gain of 49.6%, outperforming both its benchmark and its peer group median, which were up only 22.5% and 36.3%, respectively.

MARKET REVIEW

Regarding the investment backdrop, the broad U.S. equity market mounted a substantial rally throughout the fiscal year. Any interruptions to the market’s climb that did occur were relatively brief and limited in magnitude. Indeed, volatility as measured by VIX, the Chicago Board Options Exchange (“CBOE”) Volatility Index, remained at historically low levels during the fiscal year. International equity markets also did very well, driven by stronger economic news, although they tended to be more volatile than the U.S.

U.S. equities were driven primarily by a combination of excess liquidity and improved corporate earnings, while optimistic expectations for tax reform, deregulation and fiscal stimulus in the wake of the election of Donald Trump as president added to the

market’s momentum. In contrast, investors largely discounted the risks associated with the Federal Reserve’s (the Fed) policy shift toward normalizing interest rates and reducing its balance sheet, the potential for trade wars stemming from Trump’s “America First” promises, and the increasingly heated rhetoric between Trump and Kim Jong-un of North Korea about threats of nuclear conflict.

Under the surface, though, there were significant divergences between market segments and industry sectors. Most notably, growth stocks outperformed value significantly, and small caps had the edge over large caps. Among sectors, tech was the leader, led by companies such as Alphabet (Google), Facebook and Amazon. Financials also outperformed, as bank stocks rose on expectations for improving profitability from deregulation and higher lending margins from a steepening yield curve. In fact, 3-month Treasury rates climbed from 0.3% to 1.1% during the fiscal year, while 10-year yields increased from 1.8% to nearly 2.4%. In contrast to tech and financials, telecoms were down, and energy struggled to eke out a single-digit gain.

PERFORMANCE AND POSITIONING REVIEW

Regarding the Fund’s performance attribution by strategy, long-biased equity funds contributed the most to performance. Global/international equities, discretionary macro, U.S. multi-asset hedged,

strategic fixed income, arbitrage, and option funds also were positive. In contrast, hedged equity funds were slightly negative due to headwinds from short selling. Managed futures funds were also slightly negative, as traders faced several trend reversals in currencies, rates and commodities.

Equity-related funds have continued to be the core of the Fund, with an allocation of 45% at the end of the fiscal year, a modest increase from 41% a year earlier. This broad category encompasses a diverse mix of long-biased, hedged and multi-asset funds, as well as global/international equities, which we doubled during the year. Global macro, which includes discretionary and systematic approaches, was the next largest fund allocation at 21%. Alternative fixed income funds accounted for 15%, while convertible arbitrage/merger arbitrage funds were 15%.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN PERFORMANCE

The AMG Managers Lake Partners LASSO Alternatives Fund’s cumulative total return is based on the daily change in net asset value (NAV), and assumes that all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The graph compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in AMG Managers Lake Partners LASSO Alternatives Fund’s Class I shares on March 3, 2010, to a $10,000 investment made in the HFRX Equity Hedge Index for the same time period. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on a Fund distribution or redemption of shares. The listed returns for the Fund are net of expenses and the returns for the index exclude expenses. Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced.

²	The Fund may suffer significant losses on assets that it sells short. Unlike the possible loss on a security that is purchased, there is no limit on the amount of loss on an appreciating security that is sold short.

Alternative investments are speculative, subject to high return volatility and involve aggressive investment techniques and a high degree of risk including, but not limited to, the risks associated with leverage, derivative instruments such as options and futures, commodities, and distressed securities may be illiquid on a long term basis and short sales. There can be no assurance that these types of strategies will achieve their objectives or avoid substantial losses.

⁴	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 investment when converted back to U.S. Dollars.

⁵

⁶	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.

⁷	A greater percentage of the Fund’s holdings may be focused in a smaller number of securities which may place the Fund at greater risk than a more diversified fund.

⁸	The Fund is subject to the risks of any underlying fund in which the Fund invests. There are expenses associated with the underlying funds in addition to the Fund’s expenses.

⁹	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.

AMG River Road Long-Short Fund
Portfolio Manager’s Comments (unaudited)

OVERVIEW

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the AMG River Road Long-Short Fund (the “Fund”) Class N shares returned 11.69%, underperforming the 23.98% return for the Russell 3000^® Index. The secondary benchmark, which is a blend of 50% Russell 3000^®/ICE 50% BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. T-Bill (0-3 month), returned 11.81%. During the period, the Fund captured 56% of the market’s return with 58% average net market exposure.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND POSITIONING

The holdings with the largest positive contribution to total return during the period were HollyFrontier Corp (HFC, long), Spirit AeroSystems Holdings Inc. (SPR, long), and Alphabet Inc. (GOOG, long). HollyFrontier is an independent petroleum refiner

that benefited from widening crack spreads as a result of Hurricane Harvey impacting 15% of the country’s refining capacity. Spirit Aerosystems is a leading aerospace supplier. SPR rose after it announced an end to the longstanding negotiation with Boeing. Alphabet manages the largest search engine in the world. GOOG increased as the company continued to report significant top- and bottom-line growth.

The holdings with the largest negative contribution to the Fund’s total return were Vista Outdoor Inc. (VSTO, long), Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc. (DO, long), and Hudson’s Bay Co. (*HBC, long). VSTO is an outdoor sports manufacturer that declined as retail trends for its shooting products accelerated to the downside. Diamond Offshore Drilling is an offshore drilling service provider. DO declined as low commodity prices weighed on E&P plans to drill

offshore. Hudson’s Bay is a luxury and upper middle-market department store. *HBC declined as falling traffic resulted in lower profitability.

The Fund ended October within its normal net market exposure range (50-70%) at 62%. The Fund’s largest sector exposures on the long side were in consumer discretionary 34.1%, financials 19.4% and information technology 12.6%. The Fund’s largest sector exposures on the short side were in consumer discretionary (-9.9%), industrials (-6.4%) and materials (-3.8%).

AMG Managers Guardian Capital Global Dividend Fund

Portfolio Manager’s Comments (unaudited)

The AMG Managers Guardian Capital Global Dividend Fund (the “Fund”) Class N shares returned 20.51% for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, compared with a 22.77% return for its benchmark, the MSCI World Index.

GLOBAL MARKETS REVIEW

The first half of the year saw historically muted moves in global stock markets (to either the up or downside), and actual market volatility continued to plumb record lows; we have seen just eight days with +/-1% moves so far in 2017, which is the fewest to this point in any year since 1972. During the third quarter the S&P 500^® Index set 15 new record highs.

The risk of a destabilizing shock to the system of a ballistic nature loomed large over the summer, but recent months have seen other risks continue to ebb and the backdrop is looking increasingly sanguine across most of the globe. The powers that be in Washington managed to reach a short-term agreement to avoid a government shutdown and potential debt default, although these issues were simply delayed rather than outright resolved.

And while the multitude of hurricanes wreaked havoc on Texas and Florida, “broken windows economics” points to that ultimately proving to be positive from an economic growth standpoint. The net result is that the outlook calls for more of the same: effectively steady underlying growth that will continue to underpin a tightening job market that is already operating at full employment by many metrics, though still not generating much in terms of cost-push inflation.

Europe, which a year ago was viewed as being on the verge of economic collapse against the rising wave of Euroscepticism, continues to see its political backdrop mellow. Indeed, it appears that the events of the first half of this year (most notably the strong mandate won by France’s Emmanuel Macron, but also the defeat of nationalist parties in other elections, including wins in the Netherlands and Italy) have sowed the seeds for greater cohesion among the members of the European Union. Germany’s Angela Merkel, the de facto leader of the bloc, won her fourth term as Chancellor in her country’s federal election on September 24, adding to the increasing political stability in the region.

Elsewhere in Europe, the weakening of Prime Minister Theresa May’s political capital in the aftermath of her electoral humiliation in June has seen her soften her stance and upped the odds of an amicable breakup between the U.K. and the

European Union (EU), although the process is expected to be a long slog, with the early stages of negotiations yielding little so far.

The ongoing uncertainty surrounding the end result of any Brexit deal, however, has left companies unwilling to deploy capital into the British economy, resulting in the lack of business investment providing a drag on growth. The significantly weaker currency has not yet generated a sufficient pickup in U.K. exports to offset this loss.

Farther to the east, despite having to deal with the angst that comes from having the occasional missile fired overhead, the Japanese economy is on a run of sustained growth unlike anything the country has seen in two decades—a run that consensus forecasts show is expected to continue. The concurrent boost in approval ratings for the ruling Liberal Democratic Party underpinned a decision by Prime Minister Shinzō Abe to call a snap election for October 22 designed to strengthen his mandate for reforms (he also announced $18 billion in added macroeconomic stimulus as part of his platform).

Despite the ongoing uncertainty about the relationship with its largest trade partner, the Canadian economy has continued to quietly remain atop of the Developed Market growth league tables thanks to it posting its best two-quarter performance in five years over the first half of the year (and early data for Q3 show the momentum being largely maintained). The outlook, however, is somewhat less robust as Canada’s significant export sector (which accounts for 30% of GDP) will have to grapple with the impact of a stronger currency and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the outcome of the negotiations related to the North American Free Trade Agreement (the U.S. accounts for 75% of Canada’s exports while Mexico represents another 2%) while the impact of the recent interest rate hikes filters through the domestic economy. A renewed uptick in the commodity space (the energy sector in particular) should help provide some offset.

In the Emerging Market space, China has worked to show itself as a bastion of stability and strength ahead of the upcoming National Congress of the Communist Party of China starting October 18 (where President Xi Jinping is expected to strengthen his hold on power within the Party’s ranks in this five-yearly changing of the guard within the Politburo). The Brazilian central bank is doing its part to support the economy by continuing its campaign of aggressive easing policy; Banco Central do Brazil has slashed its policy rates by 200 basis points over

the last three months. In India, the Modi government continues to make progress on important economic reforms and has seen some renewed verve in its economy following a moderation in growth over the past year.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The Fund slightly underperformed the index during the year. The portfolio outperformed in 6 of the 11 sectors led by information technology, health care, real estate, energy and consumer discretionary. Financials, utilities, consumer staples and telecommunication services were the largest detractors from relative performance.

The information technology sector was the largest contributor to relative performance due to positive stock selection. Outperformance in the information technology sector was driven by Tokyo Electron, Broadcom and Analog Devices.

Health care was the second largest contributor to relative performance during the year, primarily as a result of positive stock selection. The portfolio’s holdings in Abbvie, Novo-Nordisk, Amgen and Stryker drove the majority of the outperformance in the health care sector.

Stock selection as well as an underweight position within the real estate sector also contributed to relative performance. Positive contributions came from Icade and Tag Immobilien while Unibail Rodamco slightly detracted.

The financials sector was the largest detractor from relative performance driven by an underweight to the sector as well as stock selection. Swiss Re, Wells Fargo and Westpac Banking were the largest detractors from relative performance. On the positive side JP Morgan, Bank of America and AXA contributed to performance during the year.

The utilities sector also detracted from relative performance due to stock selection and a slight overweight position in the sector. National Grid, SSE, RWE and E.ON were the largest detractors during the year.

The consumer staples sector detracted from relative performance due to an overweight position in the sector. The tobacco cluster was a large driver of the underperformance in the sector with Imperial Brands, Philip Morris and Altria all detracting from relative performance after the FDA announced a comprehensive plan in July 2017 that featured an outline for tobacco related policy and enforcement in the coming decade. We continue to have exposure to

Portfolio Manager’s Comments (continued)

tobacco stocks because they have strong cash flows, strong market positions and high barriers to entry. Dr Pepper Snapple Group and Kimberley-Clark also detracted during the year.

POSITIONING

Based on the economic backdrop and outlook on economies and valuations, our core view on uses of cash investment recommendations is to own stocks that deploy cash in a shareholder friendly way that reflects the current late stage of the economic cycle of rising interest rates, de-regulation, increased capex and marginal expansion. We look to position in stocks with low price to book values, high cash/assets, strategic M&A/assets ratio, sustainable net buyback yields and growing dividend yields. We continue to emphasize higher yielding names that have the lowest probability of a dividend cut.

The portfolio has an overweight in the yield friendly, defensive sectors, consumer staples (+5.1%), telecommunication services (+4.3%) and utilities (3.4%). Underweight sectors are the consumer discretionary (-5.9%), financials (-5.5%) and health care (-2.0%).

Geographically, the portfolio is overweight Europe (+14.4%) and is underweight Asia & Pacific Basin (-6.4%) and North America (-7.8%). The portfolio does not have a weight in Emerging Markets at this time. The dividend yield at the end of October was 3.25% and the portfolio has a large cap, high-quality bias.

The current market environment requires continued immunization to rising interest rates on a relative basis to our peer group. We continue to increase diversification, finding yield outside of the traditionally defensive sectors favored by our peer group. We have slightly increased exposure to European growth over the year.

OUTLOOK

The macro backdrop is generally improving across the board. Accordingly, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) got out its eraser over the summer and

again revised its estimates of world economic growth—and in contrast to what we have seen over much of the last decade, the revisions were to the high side. As it currently stands, global real GDP growth is expected to accelerate in 2017 (the first uptick in the rate of expansion of the world economy this cycle since the initial snapback in 2010) and the momentum is projected to be sustained into 2018.

A big reason for this upward trajectory is the fact that just as this economic expansion finishes celebrating its eight birthday, more countries are joining the party. All 45 major economies tracked by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) are projected to grow in 2017, the first time there has been such a degree of synchronized growth in a decade. Moreover, of the 191 economies tracked by the IMF, 179 are projected to expand this year, also the highest share in a decade—and that tally is expected to continue to increase next year.

Expansions are stronger when they are broadly based because such an environment can help create a “virtuous cycle” of growth—rising demand in one economy creates rising demand for another country’s exports, which in turn supports domestic demand there and further supports more exports. And it is no coincidence that this breadth of synchronized economic improvement comes at a time when growth in global trade flows is accelerating.

But of course, while this broad-based improvement is a positive development—and should be supportive of continued corporate earnings growth and continue to help underpin positive performance in most financial assets—the fact of the matter is that the rate of acceleration in global growth is likely only going to be fairly tepid by historical standards. Absent some sort of catalyst to drive a productivity surge, it is highly unlikely that we will return to growth rates that will rival the tech boom of the

1990s in the foreseeable future. This is because while the breadth of growth is improving, not all growth is created equal.

The major advanced economies are at a stage of industrialization where productivity gains are less dramatic than those earlier in their development and overall economic growth converges with that of the labor force—and on that last point, the underlying demographics of aging populations in these economies enforces a low speed limit. So what we are seeing is a general convergence among growth rates across the world, and the underlying trends are generally shifting lower, albeit with expectations of a further modest uptick among Emerging Market economies thanks simply to more countries expanding.

Our internal analysis does show greater visibility in overall cash flow generation amid greater confidence in extending the length of the duration (duration defined as the summation of both the next-10-years’ visible cash flow plus the long-term assumptions of future cash flow) of stocks. At the industry level, the strongest revenue growth going forward continues to be from global semiconductor stocks predicated on solid non-PC computing/data center demand, ongoing stabilization in PC market driven by corporates). Diversified financials including U.S. based global banks are expected to show strong earnings momentum supported by higher net interest margins and stronger investment banking activity. The weakest growth is expected from telecom due to intense price competition. We feel that maintaining a longer equity duration (supported by earnings growth and greater cash flow visibility) with a strong dividend growth outlook (quality with a fair payout) would outperform a yield chasing strategy.

AMG Managers Pictet International Fund

Portfolio Manager’s Comments (unaudited)

OVERVIEW

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the AMG Managers Pictet International Fund (the “Fund”) Class N shares returned 24.30%, modestly outperforming the 23.44% return for the MSCI EAFE Index.

MARKET COMMENTARY

In contrast to the modest return but high volatility of markets in the prior period, the twelve months ended October 2017 saw developed international equities rise significantly in U.S. Dollar (USD) terms, and they did so in an uncannily straight line. While partly due to a near 6% weakening of the USD against the key European currencies, the MSCI EAFE Index climbed 23.4% (in USD terms) and posted gains in nine of the twelve months. In the other months, the declines were only modest.

The first of these declines was in November 2016, which saw the surprise election of Donald Trump as U.S. president. Through most of the month uncertainty ahead of the election had caused markets to slide, but investors shrugged off the potentially damaging protectionist agenda that Trump had campaigned on, and instead focused on the promised economic boost. Markets turned, led by the deeper cyclical stocks (materials, industrials) and by financials. The first group was buoyed in particular by the prospect of a higher investment in infrastructure spending, and the latter on better growth driving a faster normalization of interest rates that would in turn relieve the pressure on bank profitability. However, the outstanding feature of the period as a whole was the seemingly relentless upward surge in technology stocks. In the “networks” (social, retail, search, etc.) segment of the market some of these performances have a whiff of speculation about them, but for the larger more established companies in the U.S., Europe and China, they represent the genuine creation of very tangible value by business models that were given little credence only a very few years ago. In the hardware and materials subsectors the rise is equally supported, but in this case by the shift to more ordered and potentially less cyclical markets that are a product of a significant consolidation since the 2008 financial crisis. While they were also lifted by the tide, more defensive sectors (telecoms, utilities, consumer staples) lagged the Index.

Give or take a few blips around the other notable political events during 2017, this post U.S. election bounce set the trajectory for broadly the same pattern of market performance through the rest of

the review period. On the positive side was the April/May French presidential election in which reformist Emmanuel Macron beat far right candidate Marine Le Pen to restore confidence in the political stability of the European Union (EU). On the negative were rising tensions between the U.S. and North Korea, the painfully slow progress of the UK’s negotiations to leave the EU and an inconclusive German general election toward the end of the period.

Underpinning the gains in all markets was a steady flow of positive macro and micro data, particularly in Europe, which was the strongest of the major index regions. In all areas, growth has been well established and inflationary pressures have been benign. At a corporate level, each earnings season saw, on balance, positive surprises, with companies guiding to better full year outcomes, and confidence indicators reaching post financial crisis highs.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The Fund outperformed the benchmark over the period. At an aggregate level the main positive drivers were strong stock selection in Europe and Japan, and particularly within the industrials, telecom services and utilities sectors. The main negative was weak stock selection within the consumer discretionary, energy and health care sectors. The underweight positions in financials and materials were also a drag on performance, but the effect was largely offset by positive stock selection within the sectors. At an individual stock level the top positive contributions were made by:

1. ASML (semiconductor manufacturing equipment, Netherlands) is the dominant supplier of lithography equipment to the global semiconductor manufacturing industry. Its stock rose strongly through the year, but particularly following its Q2 2017 earnings announcement, as the market became more comfortable with developments that are key to our investment thesis. First is evidence of a broad uptick in the global semiconductor cycle driven by new applications such as cloud and AI, which both have a significantly higher requirement for memory. Second is evidence from both ASML and its customers of an inflection point for the company’s new generation EUV (extreme ultraviolet) technology. It is clear that ASML’s tools now meet all the performance metrics for insertion of EUV into high volume manufacturing. In addition to this there is growing evidence that an emerging Chinese market opportunity exists—a source of new demand which could mean less EUV cannibalization of the non-EUV tools that ASML continues to produce. While

consistent with our thesis, these developments give greater visibility to the case, and mean that the more bullish scenario outlined by the company in October 2016 is more likely to play out. As a result we still see considerable further upside to intrinsic value.

2. Elis (contract linen and hygiene services, France) is Europe’s leading supplier of linen rental and cleaning services to hotels, restaurants, hospitals, etc., and additional hygiene and sanitary services. The Elis holding was acquired in the company’s early 2015 initial public offering (IPO). Since then the group has steadily expanded through targeted and controlled acquisitions that have both consolidated positions in existing European and Latin American markets, and opened up new ones. Its success is predicated on finding the right targets, on integrating them into its infrastructure quickly, and on seizing opportunities to increase efficiencies. Elis typically achieves this by cross-selling multiple group services to locations where it already has a toehold with one. In June $5 billion market cap Elis had a $2.9 billion bid accepted by Berendsen, a UK textile cleaning group. As its largest acquisition to date, the move propels Elis well up the ranking of players in the UK market and opens up significant further cross-selling and margin expansion opportunities. While the stock appreciated strongly on the back of the Berendsen news, we see significant further upside, and remain holders of Elis.

While failing to fully offset these and other positives, two holdings made notable negative contributions to performance:

1. Teva (generic and branded pharmaceuticals, Israel) was acquired for the Fund in Q3 2016. The stock had already been weak in the aftermath of Teva’s acquisition of generic drug rival Actavis earlier in the year. Teva was broadly perceived to have paid too much for Actavis, and had taken on debt to do so. Added to this was a looming patent expiry for branded drug Copaxone (MS treatment) that accounted for 30% of Teva’s group cash generation, and an apparent lack of credible pipeline drugs to offset the blow. We had a more bullish view on both the drop off in Copaxone revenues, and the quality of the drugs under development. Furthermore, and the key driver of our case, was the prodigious cash generation engine that was Teva’s global (and particularly U.S.) generic drug business. While expensive, the logic of the Actavis acquisition was to help that U.S. business offset the impact of annual price erosion and maintain cash flow at levels that could both pay down debt and fund future research and development (R&D). Post buying Teva these

concerns (and new ones like the loss of its CEO with no apparent successor) weighed further on the stock and it underperformed. Based on our long-term thesis we retained the position. However, in Q3 the company announced results that showed a significant cash generation shortfall relative to expectations. The reason was an apparent change of policy by the SEC with respect to the approval of new generic drugs versus rivals to existing generic drugs. We believe the mix change is detrimental to Teva’s capacity to generate cash from its generic business at levels that supported our investment case. Although the position has lost the Fund money, we concluded that our investment case was broken and sold out of the holding.

2. Japan Tobacco (“JT”) (cigarette manufacturer, Japan) fell over the period on news relating to a domestic cigarette market in which it has the largest share. JT saw both delays and then production problems around the launch of “Ploom TECH,” its response to Philip Morris’s (PMI) iQos heat-not-burn alternative cigarette technology. While Ploom TECH was launched across the Tokyo area in June (to positive reviews), each delay has given PMI more time as the only player to establish users and chew into JT’s market share. Based on two aspects of our longer-term thesis, we used the weakest periods of price performance to add to the Fund’s holding in JT. The first is that while there is a lot of current noise about alternative tobacco delivery technologies, we believe they will quickly “commoditize” to leave brand as the key driver of sales and market share; this plays to JT’s strength in its domestic market. Second, thanks to its use of liquid tobacco rather than leaf, Ploom TECH is set to attract a much lower level of tax on sales in Japan than iQos, and is potentially much more profitable than cigarettes if sold at a similar price point. We remain holders.

FUND ACTIVITY

Given the seemingly rich valuation of markets and the prevailing environment of relatively high volatility, the Fund started the period under review with relatively defensive positioning. This was the by-product of a stock level focus (established as early as 2014/15) on buying business models with longer-duration, more visible future cash flow generation profiles. Industrial companies constituted the biggest overweight, but few of the holdings were traditional deep cyclical manufacturers. The exposure was instead tilted toward long contract industrial service names like Elis (contract supplier

of linen to hospitality trade, France) and Fujitec (elevator manufacturing and contract maintenance, Japan), and “utility-like” companies such as Vinci (contractor and toll road operator, France). This exposure has remained broadly unchanged over the period and these stocks are still in the Fund.

The main changes to positioning occurred in the wake of the Trump victory in the U.S. elections. Cyclical sectors led and defensive sectors lagged a broad market rise. Unlike many competitors we used the sharp recovery in banks not to raise exposure, but to take profit. The effect was to further reduce the Fund’s underweight position in financials. Our belief is that regulatory headwinds and sub-normal interest rates will continue to challenge bank profitability for some time to come. We also took profit from or sold a number of industrial sector holdings on their strong performance. This activity was biased toward Japanese names that even before the bounce had made strong positive contributions through 2016. The sales reduced the Fund’s neutral weighting in Japan to underweight.

Consistent with the improving macro environment, but driven wholly by stock level considerations, the proceeds of these sales were largely used to add (or add to) holdings in Europe, and particularly a few larger cap companies.

The historically significant tilt of the Fund away from mega/large cap in favor of mid and smaller cap names is not because we believe large companies are inherently bad. The reason is that further down the size spectrum we tend to find less complex companies that we can value with more confidence, and where our view will be one of a few, rather than one of hundreds. Pricing anomalies that we can exploit are therefore more likely. Following the U.S. election several larger cap, more defensive growth companies that were either in the Fund or had been on our watch lists didn’t just underperform, but declined. These moves brought them back in to compelling territory and we used opportunity to buy Danone (dairy food and beverages, France) and add significantly to Anheuser-Busch Inbev (brewing, Belgium). As a result, the position in consumer staples moved from underweight at the start of the review year to overweight by early 2017. This, and the appreciation of several smaller cap names that moved them into mid cap space, meant the Fund held a lower than usual weighting to small cap through most of the period.

At a sector and region level the position described above remained relatively consistent through to the end of the period.

MARKET OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY

Globally economic growth has good momentum and, aside from the recent events in Spain and the vagaries of the ongoing Brexit process, Europe’s political landscape is looking more stable than at any point since the 2008 financial crisis. This environment should prove at least supportive, and potentially even positive for markets. However, we are several years into an international equity bull market, and with the implied risk premia of many asset classes at very low levels, we believe asset valuations offer considerably less support than in the past. While this latter position suggests that a prudent investor might proceed with some caution, we are actually seeing some evidence of corporate and investor euphoria—a higher level of IPOs, an increase in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and the relentless upward progression of markets with minimal volatility.

Moreover, if the current economic momentum is maintained and inflation rises further, we believe central banks will be forced into a monetary policy reaction. U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate hikes will likely continue in earnest and the European Central Bank (presiding over the developed region with the strongest current momentum) will have no choice but to follow. Although rates beginning to rise from very low levels will underpin the case that struggling economies are back on a solid footing (and will be welcomed by many), the policy shift also raises risks. We believe central banks getting it “perfectly right” is unlikely, and market setbacks are possible.

Despite the challenges presented by market conditions so far in 2017—from a bottom up perspective attractively valued stocks have been getting harder to find—we remain enthusiastic about the companies we hold in the Fund.

More recently we have noticed a change—an increased level of volatility and a fall in the correlation between stocks in the market. For our investment approach based on a multi-year investment horizon this type of environment, if sustained, is likely to start yielding rather more opportunities (both on the sell and buy side), and is to be welcomed. As is typical, the common thread running through the list of holdings is an ability to deliver long-term growth in cash flows at a price

substantially below our assessment of intrinsic value. In a world driven by ETFs and short termism we continue to believe that the Fund will generate superior long-term returns.

The Fund remains highly active (active share – the percentage of holdings in the Fund that differ from the benchmark index – remains close to 90%) with a more defensive bias than in the past as the weight (in particular) in consumer staples has moved from a

significant underweight in 2016 to an overweight position. In periods of more limited upside our focus on intrinsic value remains central to the process but the downside protection and stability of the business model becomes even more important. The impact of stock level shifts toward the end of 2016 and so far in 2017 has been to increase further an already significant underweight in financials, to reduce sizeable overweight positions in industrials and technology, to move from a significant underweight

in consumer staples to overweight, and to increase the existing overweight in consumer discretionary stocks. These positions have been maintained so far in 2017.

AMG Managers Value Partners Asia Dividend Fund

Portfolio Manager’s Comments (unaudited)

OVERVIEW

For the fiscal year ending October 31, 2017, the AMG Managers Value Partners Asia Dividend Fund (the “Fund”) Class N shares gained 29.71%, while the MSCI AC Asia ex-Japan Index (the “Index”) gained 30.45%.

MARKET REVIEW

The Asia ex-Japan market rallied strongly on the recovery of external demand and solid corporate earnings in the year under review, with the MSCI AC Asia ex-Japan Index gaining 30.4%.

The Hong Kong and China stock markets rallied during the year on favorable capital flows and upbeat first-half corporate earnings—the earnings per share (EPS) of the MSCI China Index increased 14% year-on-year in the third quarter,¹ one of the highest increases in global emerging markets. Southbound capital flows remained sanguine, partly due to robust offshore investment demand and the A-H premium, which stood at 39% as of October 27, 2017.² As a result, in the first half of 2017, an average RMB1.3 billion of southbound capital flowed into Hong Kong daily, accounting for about 13% of the turnover on the Hong Kong stock market.

Previously, foreign exchange controls made it difficult for mainland Chinese investors to diversify their investments overseas. That said, the southbound flow through the Stock Connect program has become a key channel for mainland investors such as insurance companies to invest in offshore assets. We believe the southbound flow will continue and will support offshore China equities, since mainland investors are more familiar with the companies there and offshore China markets are trading at a discount to the onshore A-share market.

In terms of capital inflows from overseas, foreign investment allocations to China remain subdued as foreign investors are still wary of the China stock market and tend to overplay the risks of a hard landing by the Chinese economy. However, as China’s economy maintains a healthy growth momentum and policy continues to focus on deleveraging the Chinese financial system, we expect foreign investors to attach greater importance to the China market, which would be favorable for China stocks in the long run.

The 19th Party Congress – which took place in October – was the most watched event in China this year. The Congress not only saw a reshuffling of China’s senior leadership but also marked the start of China’s new political and economic cycle.

President Xi was made the paramount leader of China, while “Xi Jinping’s Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era” was formally enshrined in the Party’s Constitution, cementing Xi’s status as one of China’s most powerful leaders since Mao Zedong. Although there was no mention of quantitative targets, Xi’s new ideology made it clear that China is transitioning from rapid growth to high- quality development.

In South Korea, the benchmark KOSPI continued its positive momentum in 2017 and advanced to a record high later in the year, driven by foreign fund inflows fueled by the strongest upward earnings revisions in the region. Year to date as of the third quarter, Korea is the second best-performing market in Asia ex-Japan with a 47% gain (in USD). Despite the strong performance, we believe Korea is still the most undervalued market in the region with a substantial discount.

On the macro front, South Korea’s economic recovery remains intact, with the government still forecasting gross domestic product (GDP) growth of a healthy 3% this year.³ The guidance is supported by the Nikkei South Korea Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), which entered expansionary territory for the first time in 11 months in June 2017.⁴ Export growth also remained strong, with the September reading surging 35% year-on-year, marking the longest expansionary streak since 2011.⁵ Meanwhile, the ouster of South Korean President Park Geun-hye removed a major source of uncertainty for Asia’s fourth-largest economy.

Taiwan’s stocks had a solid start in 2017 underpinned by net buying from both foreign and domestic investors. Together with Taiwan’s ongoing economic recovery and market expectations on significant specification upgrades in upcoming new smart devices, Taiwanese stocks were sent higher and reached a five-year high.

On the macro front, economic data suggested continued recovery driven by robust external demand, especially in electronics products this year. The technology hardware sector was the bright spot of the stock market as it has broad exposure to the complete hardware value chain, from basic components such as printed circuit board (PCB) to core components such as integrated circuit (IC) chips. Many companies in this sector are competitive in the global market with their own intellectual properties and growing, dominating market shares. These companies are key beneficiaries in an IT-intensive economy brought about by Internet of Things, cloud computing, wearable technologies and autonomous driving.

FUND PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The top performing sector was technology. Among technology names, the Fund’s holding in the largest South Korean technology hardware company was the top contributor thanks to its strong earnings. The company’s third quarter operating profit surged to a new quarterly record high. Its leading position in memory chips and organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panels also continued to add strength to its earnings, while its outlook remains positive given robust demand for smart devices. The share prices of our holdings in a Chinese optical fiber company appreciated during the third quarter on strong first-half 2017 results that were underscored by a stronger-than-expected improvement in margins. The company gave positive guidance on its earnings outlook given the tight supply of optical fiber in China and the leading industry position that it has attained with its integrated business model.

In real estate, the Fund’s key holding in a Chinese developer was another top performance contributor. The company announced strong contract sales in the first half of 2017 and has revised its sales target upward for 2017 by 50% (from RMB100 billion to RMB150 billion). Gross margin and profit both jumped, while recurring income—a key driver for boosting earnings and achieving stable cash flows—was up 29% year-on-year in the first half of 2017. The company also declared its first-ever interim dividend of RMB0.2 per share, reaffirming it as a high-conviction stock for our dividend strategy.

Thus far, 2017 has been a constructive year for Asia ex Japan equities driven by the strongest earnings upward revision in 6 years. In particular, companies with strong earnings growth in the information technology sector surged remarkably in the first half and were the key performance contributors for the Index. However, these companies were deemed challenging for dividend investors as they are generally trading at high multiples and pay almost zero dividend. We view these as unfit dividend plays, and the Fund’s underweight to the technology sector was the largest detractor from relative performance and among the key reasons for the Fund’s modest performance gap year-to-date. However, with the market’s keen interest in internet stocks, many sectors are left under appreciated, which created compelling investment opportunities. In the first half of the year three of our holdings in the consumer

Portfolio Manager’s Comments (continued)

sector were privatized, which showed that private equities funds were also capturing these undervalued opportunities. Stock selection within the consumer discretionary sector was a detractor from relative performance, thanks to a position in a Chinese designer and manufacturer of consumer electronics. Stock selection within the energy sector also detracted from performance, particularly due to positioning in a Chinese oil and gas company.

OUTLOOK

Although the growth momentum may moderate in Asia ex-Japan markets, the outlook for the region remains positive as supported by stable external

demand recovery and solid corporate earnings. In particular, we remain positive on North Asia, such as South Korea and Greater China equities despite the 40%-plus rally so far this year. We expect the region’s earnings growth (21.9% forecasted in October versus 13.2% in January⁶) will continue to be the fundamental driver. This, together with continued strength in cash flow generation should be supportive for dividend growth within the region. Although the 12-month forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of the MSCI Asia ex Japan index has normalized to 13.1 times,⁶ it is still trading at an attractive level relative to developed markets and most emerging countries.

AMG Managers Montag & Caldwell Balanced Fund

Portfolio Manager’s Comments (unaudited)

OVERVIEW

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the AMG Managers Montag & Caldwell Balanced Fund (the “Fund”) Class N shares returned 10.61%, compared to the 14.16% return for its benchmark, 60% S&P 500^® Index/40% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index. The Fund is managed using fundamental valuation techniques that focus on a company’s future earnings and dividend growth rates. The equity process is primarily bottom up and utilizes a present valuation model in which the current price of the stock is related to the risk adjusted present value of the company’s estimated future earnings stream. The Fund seeks to invest in growth stocks selling at a discount to estimates of fair value, and at a time when relative earnings per share growth is visible for the intermediate term. The stock portfolio is coupled with a core bond portfolio that aims to maximize total return and minimize volatility.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

U.S. stock indices experienced strong gains for the twelve months ended October 31, 2017, with a bias toward small cap stocks. The Russell 1000^® (large cap) Index was up 23.67%, the Russell Midcap^® Index (mid cap) was up 21.09%, and the Russell 2000^® Index (small cap) was up 27.85% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2017. There was, however, a significant bias toward growth, particularly in the second half of the 12-month period. For the full 12 months, growth outperformed value in each size segment, with the widest spread in returns between large cap growth and large cap value. The Russell 1000^® Growth Index (large cap growth) was up 29.71% vs. a 17.78% return for the Russell 1000^® Value Index (large cap value). The performance advantage of growth over value in both the mid cap and small cap areas was also meaningful, though less pronounced than in large cap.

In the bond market, there was a flattening of the Treasury yield curve as yields on short-term bonds rose more than long-term bonds after the Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the target on the Federal Funds rate three times during the period. Yields on longer-term maturities did not rise as much because economic growth is moderate and inflation remains below central bank targets. Risk assets outperformed in the bond market during the period as investors continue to seek out incremental yield and corporate fundamentals improved with a recovery in profits.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

While the major equity indices all posted solid gains during the 12-month period, there were several notable, some would say violent, underlying

rotations that occurred throughout the period. Following the U.S. presidential election, and the surprise victory of Donald Trump as our 45th president, U.S. stocks embarked upon a vigorous rally to close out 2016 while the bond market sold off as yields rose. The equity rally was lopsided, however, with most of the upside coming in small cap, cyclical and value-oriented issues (like financials, energy, materials and industrials) as the biggest perceived beneficiaries of President Trump’s economic agenda which included lower corporate taxes, lighter business regulation and potential domestic infrastructure spending. This return pattern contrasted with that of 2015 when the less cyclical sectors led the markets and the equity portion of the Fund out-performed both the Russell 1000^® Growth and the broad market S&P 500 indices. During these initial weeks of the post-election rally, the equity portion of the Fund’s performance lagged the S&P 500 benchmark, which was mostly attributable to adverse stock selection, particularly within financial services, technology, discretionary and industrials, as well as an impact from overweight allocations to staples, health care and technology. The bond portion of the Fund declined less than the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government/Credit Index during this period because the duration of the Fund was shorter than the index and a higher weighting was held in corporate bonds, which outperformed.

The post-election market rally continued in the first quarter of 2017 with the S&P 500 tacking on over 6% in total return, on top of its 5% fourth quarter post-election advance. However, there was a notable shift in leadership, particularly after the administration’s initial failure to repeal Obamacare in February. The so-called “Trump stocks” that led the initial advance took a breather and gave way to some of the secular growers within health care, technology and consumer discretionary. The lagging performance of the “Trump stocks,” which persisted well into the third quarter of 2017, seemed to coincide with a pullback in the dollar and bond yields, a sign that investors’ enthusiasm for the timing, if not the substance, of the Trump administration’s pro-growth agenda, and in particular tax reform, started to wane a bit. During this period, the Fund benefited from solid stock selection in technology, health care and financial services versus the S&P 500^® Index. The Fund’s overweight allocation to technology and health care and absence from the energy sector also added to relative results versus the S&P 500. Results relative

to the S&P 500 were diminished by stock selection in the industrials and discretionary sectors and an overweight allocation to the staples sector. The final few weeks of the period favored small cap and more cyclical areas of the market as investors once again began to anticipate the administration’s pivot away from health care reform to tax reform. In the bond market, the Treasury yield curve flattened during this period as the Fed raised the Fed Funds target, which pressured short-term yields higher, while longer maturity bonds declined slightly in yield since inflation remained muted and U.S. yields were attractive relative to other developed market bond yields, attracting foreign buyers. Lower quality corporate bonds significantly outperformed as investors embraced risk with corporate profitability recovering. The Fund’s fixed income results lagged during this period because the Fund had a shorter duration, with less exposure to longer maturity bonds, and held higher quality corporate bonds than the index.

Finally, while there were several observable style/size shifts over the course of the 12-month period, overall market volatility, as measured by the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), remained extraordinarily subdued. While the VIX rose briefly in response to the heightened geopolitical tensions in August, it did so from all-time low levels. Beyond that brief blip up, the VIX remained near all-time low levels. Downside market action also remained extremely limited. In fact, the market hasn’t suffered a 3% decline since right before the presidential election, and has not seen a 5% correction since June 2016, the longest such stretch in over 20 years.¹ It seems highly unlikely that this relative tranquility can persist for much longer.

OUTLOOK

While valuation and investor sentiment data continue to be red flags for the stock market, volatility remains contained and any significant market weakness is quickly met by buyers of stock. With both the stock and bond markets highly valued and a significant drawdown in share prices long overdue, we are sensitive to any developments that could cause the market to correct. The S&P 500^® Index median price-to-earnings ratio is currently 23.1x and is higher than 96% of historical periods.² The 10-year U.S. Treasury is also highly valued and offers only a 2.3% yield to maturity. For now, a low risk of recession, improving corporate profits, a better global economy, very accommodative policies

Portfolio Manager’s Comments (continued)

by central banks throughout the developed world, a gradual and predictable increase in interest rates by our Fed and the likelihood of fiscal stimulus coming out of Congress are all supportive of the equity market and will likely continue to keep it elevated. Looking ahead in the bond market, continued moderate economic growth and the normalization of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet are likely to exert upward pressure on Treasury yields. Tax reform proposals are supportive of a modest boost to economic growth if passage is successful. The proposals include a reduction of interest expense deductibility for companies, which could reduce corporate bond issuance. This dynamic, in addition

to solid corporate profits, should lead to continued outperformance of corporate bonds versus similar duration Treasury bonds. Given this outlook for higher absolute interest rates and a narrowing of corporate bond spreads, we continue to maintain a shorter duration position in the Fund’s bond portfolio versus the bond index and to favor high quality corporate bonds.

The Fund’s equity holdings are benefiting from improving global economic growth due to their strong brands and entrenched global presence. In addition, they operate from financial strength and, we believe, will be better able to cope with what is likely to be higher interest expense as the Federal

Reserve (the Fed) gradually raises interest rates. Importantly, the Fund’s holdings are reasonably valued based on our work and, with their favorable attributes of global diversification and financial strength, we believe they are well positioned to provide attractive investment returns relative to the market in the period ahead and over the long term.

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN PERFORMANCE

The AMG Managers Montag & Caldwell Balanced Fund’s cumulative total return is based on the daily change in net asset value (NAV), and assumes that all dividends and distributions were reinvested. The graph compares a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in AMG Managers Montag & Caldwell Balanced Fund’s Class N shares on October 31, 2007, to a $10,000 investment made in the 60% S&P 500 Index/40% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government Credit Bond Index, S&P 500 Index and Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government Credit Bond Index for the same time period. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on a Fund distribution or redemption of shares. The listed returns for the Fund are net of expenses and the returns for the index exclude expenses. Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced.

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

²	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 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.

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.

Currently, the Trust consists of a number of different funds, (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks, and policies. Included in this report are:

Funds

AMG Managers Fairpointe ESG Equity Fund (the “Fairpointe ESG Equity”)¹

¹	Formerly known as AMG Managers Fairpointe Focused Equity Fund.

²	Formerly known as AMG River Road Select Value Fund.

Effective October 1, 2017, Fairpointe ESG Equity changed its principle investment strategy to prefer investment in companies it deems to have strong environmental, social and governance (ESG) records and seek to avoid those with inferior ESG records relative to the market and peers.

Each Fund is authorized to issue two classes of shares (Class N shares and Class I shares). Montag & Caldwell Growth is also authorized to issue Class R shares. Effective February 24, 2017, GW&K U.S. Small Cap Growth began issuing Class Z shares, and effective October 2, 2017, River Road Focused Absolute Value, River

Road Dividend All Cap Value, River Road Dividend All Cap Value II, Fairpointe Mid Cap, River Road Small-Mid Cap, River Road Small Cap Value, Silvercrest Small Cap, DoubleLine Core Plus Bond, River Road Long-Short and Pictet International began issuing 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 pay different distribution amounts to the extent the net asset value per share and/or the expenses of such share classes differ. Each share class has its own expense structure. Please refer to a current prospectus for additional information on each share class.

The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), 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, including securities sold short, 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 and securities sold short traded in the over-the-counter market (other than NMS securities) are valued at the exchange mean price. Foreign equity securities (securities principally traded in markets other than U.S. markets) are valued at the official closing price on the primary exchange or, for markets that either do not offer an official closing price or where the official closing price may not be representative of the overall market, the last quoted sale price.

Fixed income securities purchased with a remaining maturity exceeding 60 days are valued at the evaluated bid price or the mean price provided by an authorized pricing service or, if an evaluated price is not available, by reference to other securities which are considered comparable in credit rating, interest rate, due date and other features (generally referred to as “matrix pricing”) or other similar pricing methodologies. Investments in certain mortgage-backed and stripped mortgage-backed securities, preferred stocks, convertible securities, derivatives and other debt securities not traded on an organized securities market are valued on the basis of valuations provided by dealers or by a pricing service which uses information with respect to transactions in such securities and various relationships between such securities and yield to maturity in determining value.

Fixed income securities purchased with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost value is approximately the same as the fair value of the security valued without the use of amortized cost. Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at their end of day net asset value per share.

The Funds’ portfolio investments are generally valued based on independent market quotations or prices or, if none, “evaluative” or other market based

203

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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 Fund, including a comparison with the prior quarter end and the percentage of the Fund that the security represents at each quarter end.

With respect to foreign equity securities and certain foreign fixed income securities, the Board has adopted a policy that securities held in a Fund that can be fair valued by the applicable fair value pricing service are fair valued on each business day provided that each individual price exceeds a pre-established confidence level. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.

The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:


Level 1 –		inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies)
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, 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. Dividends from foreign securities are recorded on the ex-dividend date, and if after the fact, as soon as the Funds become aware of the ex-dividend date, except for Korean securities where dividends are recorded on confirmation date. Dividends declared on short positions are recorded on the ex-date as dividend expense. 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 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 a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of each Fund.

DoubleLine Core Plus Bond recorded an out-of-period adjustment to correct errors relating to income recognition on interest only securities. DoubleLine Core Plus Bond recorded a cumulative adjustment to decrease beginning undistributed net investment income and investments at cost as of November 1, 2016 by $3,432,795. The adjustment did not impact DoubleLine Core Plus’s net assets, NAV per Share or total return. Management determined that the adjustment was not material to the Fund’s prior year or current year annual financial statements.

204

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

The following Funds 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 Funds’ overall expense ratio. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the impact on the expense ratios, if any, were as follows:


	Reduction
River Road Focused Absolute Value	$	4,310
Montag & Caldwell Growth		136,850
River Road Dividend All Cap Value		17,608
River Road Dividend All Cap Value II		2,276
Montag & Caldwell Mid Cap Growth		1,186
LMCG Small Cap Growth		14,586
River Road Small-Mid Cap Value		5,343
River Road Small Cap Value		18,818
Silvercrest Small Cap		78,489
GW&K U.S. Small Cap Growth		18,483
River Road Long-Short		8,490
Montag & Caldwell Balanced		1,989

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 Fund’s prospectus. Dividends and 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 primarily due to net operating losses, tax equalization utilized, amortization on securities sold, partnerships, net operating losses offset by short term capital gains, gains/losses on foreign currency, paydowns, tax adjustments on passive foreign investment companies sold, redesignation of dividends paid by a fund, distributions received from regulated investment companies, distributions in excess of net investment income paid by a fund, and expenses disallowed for tax purposes. Temporary differences are primarily due to differences between book and tax treatment of losses for excise tax purposes, wash sale loss deferrals, amortization, mark-to-market of passive foreign investment companies, gains/losses on foreign currency, non-deductible organizational expense, premiums outstanding, and partnerships.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2017 and October 31, 2016 were as follows:

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 October 31, 2017, and for all open tax years (generally, the three prior taxable years), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Additionally, Management is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

Net capital losses incurred may be carried forward for an unlimited time period, and retain their tax character as either short-term or long-term capital losses.

f. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYOVERS AND DEFERRALS

As of October 31, 2017, the following Funds had accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from securities transactions for federal income tax purposes. These amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains, if any, for an unlimited time period.


	Capital Loss Carryover Amounts
Fund	Short-Term		Long-Term
Fairpointe ESG Equity	$	136,123		—
LMCG Small Cap Growth	$	22,011,181	$	1,042,680
DoubleLine Core Plus Bond	$	1,405,809	$	2,782,572
River Road Long-Short	$	11,649		—

	Capital Loss Carryover Utilized
Fund	Short-Term		Long-Term
Fairpointe ESG Equity	$	2,499	$	8,883
LMCG Small Cap Growth	$	8,247,138	$	3,130,798
River Road Long-Short	$	2,647,640	$	450,310
Guardian Capital Global Dividend	$	248,044	$	57,327

As of October 31, 2017, the Funds not listed above had no accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from securities transactions for federal income tax purposes. Should the Funds incur capital losses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, such amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains, if any, for an unlimited time period.

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. Pictet International and Value Partners Asia Dividend will deduct a 2.00% redemption fee from the proceeds of any redemption (including a redemption by exchange) of shares if the redemption occurs within 90 days of the purchase of those shares.

208

h. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND JOINT REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The Funds may enter into third-party repurchase agreements for temporary cash management purposes and third-party 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 October 31, 2017, the market value of Repurchase Agreements outstanding is as follows:

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. SECURITIES TRANSACTED ON A WHEN ISSUED BASIS

DoubleLine Core Plus Bond may enter into To-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 is marked-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 realize a gain or loss. If the Fund deliver securities under the commitment, the Fund realize a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into.

k. DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS AND WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES

DoubleLine Core Plus Bond 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

Schedule of Portfolio Investments. With respect to purchase commitments, the 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 Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds does offset the receivable and payable for delayed delivery investments purchased or 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.

l. 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. A Fund’s investments in emerging market countries are exposed to additional risks. A 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 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. The investment portfolios of River Road Focused Absolute Value, River Road Dividend All Cap Value, River Road Dividend All Cap Value II, River Road Small-Mid Cap, River Road Small Cap Value and River Road Long-Short are managed by River Road Asset Management, LLC. The investment portfolio of GW&K U.S. Small Cap Growth is managed by GW&K Investment Management, LLC. AMG indirectly owns a majority interest in River Road Asset Management, LLC and GW&K Investment Management, LLC. The investment portfolio of Value Partners Asia Dividend is managed by Value Partners Hong Kong Limited. AMG indirectly owns a minority interest in Value Partners Hong Kong Limited. Prior to October 1, 2016, Aston Asset Management, LLC (“Aston”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Manager, served as investment manager to each of the Funds under a similar investment management agreement. On October 1, 2016, Aston merged with and into the Investment Manager.

The contractual expense limitation may only be terminated in the event the Investment Manager or a successor ceases to be the investment manager of the Fund or a successor fund, by mutual agreement between the Investment Manager and the Board, or in the event of the Fund’s liquidation unless the Fund is reorganized or is a party to a merger in which the surviving entity is successor to the accounting and performance information of the Fund.

For a period of up to three years from the end of the fiscal year during which fees were waived or expenses were reimbursed (the “Recovery Period”), the Investment Manager is entitled to be reimbursed by the Fund for such fees waived and expenses reimbursed from the commencement of operations through the completion of the first three full fiscal years to the extent that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses, not including interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other investment-related costs, shareholder servicing fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, and acquired fund fees and expenses, are at or below the Operating Expense Limit during the Recovery Period.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Effective July 1, 2017, Pictet International is obligated to repay the Investment Manager through at least March 1, 2019, such amounts waived, paid or reimbursed in future years provided that the repayment occurs within thirty-six (36) months after the waiver or reimbursement and that such repayment would not cause the Fund’s total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements in any such future year to exceed that Fund’s contractual expense limitation amount.

At October 31, 2017, Fund’s expiration of reimbursement are as follows:


	Expiration

Through the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, the Investment Manager recaptured prior year fee waivers and expense reimbursements of $120,411 from Pictet International.

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 all non-portfolio management aspects of managing the Funds’ operations, including administration and shareholder services to each Fund, as further described in each Fund’s prospectus. Effective October 1, 2016, 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. Prior to October 1, 2016, under the terms of the prior administration agreement between the Trust and Aston, the Funds’ administration fees were accrued daily and paid monthly, based on a specified percentage of average daily net assets of the Trust, and a base fee was charged at a fixed annual rate of $12,000 per Fund. The asset-based fee was allocated to each Fund based on the relative net assets of each Fund. The asset-based administration fee arrangement prior to October 1, 2016 was 0.0437% on the first $7.4 billion and 0.0412% over $7.4 billion.

The Investment Manager has agreed, through at least October 1, 2018, to waive a portion of the administrative fee in an amount equal to 0.0061% of the average daily net assets of Montag & Caldwell Growth, 0.0053% of the average daily net assets of River Road Dividend All Cap Value, 0.0065% of the average daily net assets of Fairpointe Mid Cap, 0.0022% of the average daily net assets of River Road Small Cap Value, 0.0052% of the average daily net assets of DoubleLine Core Plus Bond and 0.0055% of the average daily net assets of Pictet International.

The Funds are distributed by AMG Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Investment Manager. Prior to October 1, 2016, the Funds’ distributor was Foreside Funds Distributors LLC. 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 Trust has adopted a distribution and service plan (the “Plan”) with respect to the Class N shares and Class R 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 reimbursements to the Distributor for its expenditures in financing any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of each such class of the Fund’s shares and for maintenance and personal service provided to existing shareholders of that class. The Plan authorizes payments to the Distributor of up to 0.25% and 0.50% annually of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class N shares and Class R shares, respectively. The actual amount incurred for Class N shares was 0.25% for all funds except the following: Montag & Caldwell Mid Cap Growth and River Road Small-Mid Cap Value incurred 0.24%, Montag & Caldwell Growth incurred 0.23%, Fairpointe ESG Equity incurred 0.22%, GW&K U.S. Small Cap Growth incurred 0.21%, LMCG Small Cap Growth incurred 0.14%, Montag & Caldwell Balance incurred 0.07%, Guardian Capital Global Dividend and Value Partners Asia Dividend incurred 0.02%. The Plan further provides for periodic payments by the Trust or the Distributor to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries for providing shareholder services and for promotional and other sales related costs. The portion of payments made under the plan by Class R shares of Montag & Caldwell Growth for shareholder servicing may not exceed an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of Class R shares of that class owned by clients of such broker, dealer or financial intermediary. The Funds made payments to the previous distributor at the same rates.

For each of the Class N, Class I and Class R shares, the Board has approved reimbursement payments to the Investment Manager for shareholder servicing expenses (“shareholder servicing fees”) incurred. Shareholder servicing fees include payments to each financial intermediary such as broker-dealers (including fund supermarket platforms), bank, and trust companies that provide shareholder recordkeeping, account servicing and other services. The Class N, Class I and Class R shares may reimburse the Investment Manager for the actual amount incurred up to a maximum annual rate of 0.15% of each respective Class’s average daily net asset value.

The Investment Manager has agreed, through at least October 1, 2018, to waive a portion of shareholder servicing fees paid by the various share classes of each Fund, as necessary, to ensure the total net expense ratio for each share class of each Fund does not increase due to the changes in the methodology of shareholder servicing reimbursements described above.

Guardian Capital Global Dividend and Value Partners Asia Dividend did not incur any shareholder servicing fees for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017.

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 an Investment Manager receive an annual retainer and per meeting fees for regular, special and telephonic meetings, and they are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred while carrying out their duties as Board members. The Chairman of the Board and the Audit Committee Chair receive additional annual retainers. Certain Trustees and Officers of the Funds are Officers and/or Directors of the Investment Manager, AMG and/or the Distributor.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) granted an exemptive order that permits certain Funds to lend and borrow money for certain temporary purposes directly to and from other eligible funds in the AMG Funds family. GW&K U.S. Small Cap Growth is eligible to lend and borrow, while Fairpointe ESG Equity, River Road Focused Absolute Value, River Road Dividend All Cap Value II, Silvercrest Small Cap, River Road Long-Short, Guardian Capital Global Dividend, Pictet International and Value Partners Asia Dividend are eligible to lend. 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 fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, Silvercrest Small Cap lent a maximum of $1,644,053 for seven days earning interest of $315 and Long-Short Equity lent a maximum of $1,309,659 for four days earning interest of $283. The interest income amount is included in the Statement of Operations as interest income. GW&K U.S. Small Cap Growth borrowed a maximum of $1,309,659 for four days paying interest of $283. The interest expense amount is included in the Statement of Operations as miscellaneous expense. At October 31, 2017, the Funds had no interfund loans outstanding.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, Pictet International was reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its subadviser for losses incurred on executed transactions not meeting the Fund’s investment guidelines and the cost of correcting the Fund’s net asset value was $619,174.

4. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED

The Funds participate in the Program providing for the lending of securities to qualified brokers. Securities lending income includes earnings of such temporary cash investments, plus or minus any rebate to a borrower. These earnings (after any rebate) are then divided between BNYM, as a fee for its services under the Program, and the Funds, according to agreed-upon rates. Collateral on all securities loaned is accepted in cash and is maintained at a minimum level of 102% (105% in the case of certain foreign securities) of the market value, plus interest, if applicable, of investments on loan. It is the Funds’ policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of

the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Funds if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Under the terms of the Program, the Funds are indemnified for such losses by BNYM. Cash collateral is held in a separate omnibus account managed by BNYM, who is authorized to exclusively enter into joint 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 October 31, 2017, the following Funds did not participate in the Program: Fairpointe ESG Equity, Montag & Caldwell Growth, Fairpointe Mid Cap, Lake Partners LASSO Alternatives, River Road Long-Short and Montag & Caldwell Balanced.

At October 31, 2017, the value of the securities loaned and cash collateral received were as follows:


			Cash
	Securities		Collateral
Fund	Loaned		Received
River Road Focused Absolute Value	$	2,076,480	$	2,100,673
River Road Dividend All Cap Value		25,556,279		26,093,804
River Road Dividend All Cap Value II		5,837,316		5,954,800

Pictet International		26,905,926		28,379,961
Value Partners Asia Dividend		32,199		32,121

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the Funds under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against a Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds had no prior claims or losses and expect the risks of loss to be remote.

6. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH YIELD SECURITIES

Investing in high yield securities involves greater risks and considerations not typically associated with U.S. Government and other high quality/investment grade securities. High yield securities are generally below investment grade securities and do not have an established retail secondary market. Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the issuer’s ability to repay principal and interest. Also, an increase in interest rates would likely have an adverse impact on the value of such obligations and could cause the securities to become less liquid.

223

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

7. MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

DoubleLine Core Plus Bond and Montag & Caldwell Balanced may invest in mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”). These securities represent interests in pools of mortgage loans and they provide holders with payments consisting of both principal and interest as the mortgages in the underlying mortgage pools are paid. The timely payment of principal and interest on MBS issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae (formerly known as the Government National Mortgage Association) is backed by Ginnie Mae and the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. MBS issued by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities other than Ginnie Mae are not “full faith and credit” obligations. Certain obligations, such as those issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks, Fannie Mae (formerly known as the Federal National Mortgage Association) and Freddie Mac (formerly known as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation) are supported only by the credit of the issuer. MBS issued by private issuers are not government securities and are not guaranteed by any government agency. They are secured by the underlying collateral of the private issuer. Yields on privately issued MBS tend to be higher than those of government-backed issues. However, risk of loss due to default and sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations are also higher. DoubleLine Core Plus Bond and Montag & Caldwell Balanced may also invest in collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and real estate mortgage investment conduits (“REMICs”). A CMO and/or REMIC is a bond that is collateralized by a pool of MBS. A CLO is a bond that is collateralized by a financial institution’s receivables from loans. These MBS pools are divided into classes with each class having its own characteristics. The different classes are retired in sequence as the underlying mortgages are repaid.

8. STRIPPED SECURITIES

DoubleLine Core Plus Bond may invest in stripped securities (“STRIPS”) for hedging purposes to protect the Fund’s portfolio 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 a Fund’s ability to buy or sell those securities at any particular time.

9. INVESTMENT COMPANIES

Lake Partners LASSO Alternatives primarily invests, and certain other Funds in this Trust, may invest in securities of other investment companies, including open-end funds, closed end funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). Open-end funds are investment companies that issue new shares continuously and redeem shares daily. Closed-end funds are investment companies that typically issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a securities exchange or over-the-counter. An ETF is an investment company. Typically, an ETF seeks to track the performance of an index by holding in its portfolio shares of all the companies, or a representative sample of the companies, that are components of a particular index; however, some ETFs are actively managed. ETFs are traded on securities exchanges based on their market values. The risks of investment in other investment companies typically reflect the risks of the types of securities in which investment companies invest. Investments in ETFs and closed-end funds are subject to the additional risk that shares of the fund may trade at a premium or discount to their NAV per share. When a Fund invests in another investment company, shareholders of the Fund bear their proportionate shares of the other investment company’s fees and expenses, as well as their share of the Fund’s fees and expenses. The Trust has obtained an exemptive order from the SEC that allows the Funds to invest in both affiliated and unaffiliated investment companies in excess of the limits of the 1940 Act, subject to the terms and conditions of such order. Prior to its investment in shares of an unaffiliated investment company in excess of the limits of the 1940 Act, the Trust, on behalf of a Fund, and the underlying fund must execute an agreement that is designed to ensure that each party understands the terms and conditions of the order and agrees to fulfill its responsibilities under the order. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, Lake Partners LASSO Alternatives relied on such exemptive order.

10. SECURITIES SOLD SHORT AND DUE TO/FROM BROKERS

River Road Long-Short utilizes short sales as part of its overall portfolio management strategy. A short sale involves the sale of a security that is borrowed from a broker or other financial institution. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon closing a short sale. Short sales expose the Fund to the risk that it will be required to acquire, convert or exchange securities to replace the borrowed securities at a time when the securities sold short have appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund. The Fund must segregate liquid assets, or otherwise cover its position in a permissible manner. The Investment Manager determines the liquidity of assets, in accordance with procedures established by the Board. Cash segregated as collateral for short sales is shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as segregated cash. Security positions segregated as collateral for short sales are included in unaffiliated investments at value in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Due to/from brokers represents cash balances on deposit with, or cash balances owed to the Prime Broker. When the Fund has cash balances on deposit with the Prime Broker, the Fund is subject to credit risk should the Prime Broker be unable to meet their obligations to the Fund; and when the Fund has cash balances owed to the Prime Broker, the amount is payable upon demand and the Fund must segregate liquid assets. The Fund has entered into a Special Custody and Pledge Agreement with the Prime Broker for securities sold short, which provides 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 Fund does not offset financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to a Special Custody and Pledge Agreement in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of October 31, 2017, the value of securities sold short was $12,274,457 and the Fund owes the Prime Broker $13,827,747 relating to cash on margin; which both were collateralized with securities worth $29,998,231.

11. CREDIT AGREEMENT

Effective July 6, 2010, and as amended July 26, 2017, the Trust entered into a Credit Agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Bank”) which provides the Trust with a revolving line of credit facility of up to $50 million. The facility is shared by each Fund of the Trust and is available for temporary, emergency purposes including liquidity needs in meeting redemptions. The interest rate on outstanding Alternate Base Rate Loans is equal to the greater of the Prime Rate plus 1.25%, or 0.50% plus the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1.25%. The interest rate on outstanding Overnight Loans is equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1.25%, or the One-Month LIBOR Rate plus 1.25%. Effective July 27, 2016, the Trust pays a commitment fee on the unutilized commitment amount of 0.175% per annum, which is allocated to the Funds based on average daily net

assets and included in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. Prior to July 27, 2016, the Trust paid a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum. LMCG Small Cap Growth utilized the line of credit during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017. LMCG Small Cap Growth borrowed a maximum of $5,505,079 for two days paying interest of $761. The interest expense amount is included in the Statement of Operations as miscellaneous expense. At October 31, 2017, the Funds had no loans outstanding.

12. MASTER NETTING AGREEMENTS

The Funds may enter into master netting agreements with their counterparties for the securities lending and short-sale programs, and Repurchase Agreements, which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to master netting agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For securities lending and short sale transactions, see Note 4 and Note 11.

The following table is a summary of the Funds’ open Repurchase Agreements that are subject to a master netting agreement as of October 31, 2017:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF AMG FUNDS IV:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, and the related statements of operations, of changes in net assets, and of cash flows (statement of cash flows only for AMG River Road Long-Short Fund) and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the nineteen funds listed in Note 1 (the “Funds”) comprising AMG Funds IV as of October 31, 2017, the results of each of their operations and cash flows for AMG River Road Long-Short Fund for the year then ended, and the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where securities purchased had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial highlights for the periods ended from October 31, 2013 through October 31, 2015 for the Funds were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report dated December 22, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

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 Advisory 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 periodic in-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, performs appropriate due diligence, and develops and presents 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 Advisory Agreement and applicable law. With respect to AMG GW&K U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund, AMG River Road Dividend All Cap Value Fund, AMG River Road Dividend All Cap Value Fund II, AMG River Road Focused Absolute Value Fund, AMG River Road Long-Short Fund, AMG River Road Small-Mid Cap Value Fund and AMG River Road Small Cap Value 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 Advisory Agreement and the Investment Manager’s undertaking to maintain contractual expense limitations for certain Funds, as described below. The Trustees also considered the Investment Manager’s risk management processes.

For each applicable 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 biographical 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 each Subadviser with portfolio management responsibility for a 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 Subadvisory Agreement(s). The Trustees also considered each Subadviser’s risk management processes.

PERFORMANCE

As noted above, the Board considered each Fund’s net performance during relevant time periods as compared to the Fund’s Peer Group and Fund Benchmark and considered the gross performance of the Fund as compared to the 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 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 various changes in management, administrative and shareholder servicing fee rates that were implemented during the past year for the applicable Funds, noting that the Investment Manager provides administrative and shareholder services to the Funds pursuant to an Administrative Agreement with the Funds. The Trustees noted that, effective July 1, 2017, the management fee rate for AMG Managers Pictet International Fund will be reduced. The Trustees also considered the amount of the advisory fee retained by the Investment Manager after payment of the subadvisory fee with respect to each Fund. The Trustees also noted any payments that were made

233

Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)

from River Road Asset Management, LLC (“River Road”) and GW&K Investment Management, LLC (“GW&K”) to the Investment Manager, and any other payments made or to be made from the Investment Manager to River Road and GW&K. 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 a manager-of-managers structure. In this regard, the Trustees also noted that the Investment Manager has undertaken to maintain contractual expense limitations for AMG GW&K U.S. Small Cap Growth Fund, AMG Managers DoubleLine Core Plus Bond Fund, AMG Managers Fairpointe Focused Equity Fund, AMG Managers Guardian Capital Global Dividend Fund, AMG Managers Lake Partners LASSO Alternatives Fund, AMG Managers LMCG Small Cap Growth Fund, AMG Managers Montag & Caldwell Balanced Fund, AMG Managers Montag & Caldwell Mid Cap Growth Fund, AMG Managers Pictet International Fund, AMG River Road Dividend All Cap Value Fund, AMG River Road Dividend All Cap Value Fund II, AMG River Road Focused Absolute Value Fund, AMG River Road Long-Short Fund, AMG River Road Small-Mid Cap Value Fund, AMG Managers Silvercrest Small Cap Fund and AMG Managers Value Partners Asia Dividend 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 any so-called “fallout benefits” such as reputational value derived from the Investment Manager serving as Investment Manager to a Fund), received by the Investment Manager and its affiliates attributable to managing each Fund and all the mutual funds in the AMG Funds Family of Funds, the cost of providing such services, the enterprise and entrepreneurial risks undertaken as Investment Manager and sponsor of the Funds and the resulting profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from these relationships. The Trustees also noted the current asset levels of each Fund and the willingness of the Investment Manager to maintain contractual expense limitations, as described above, from time to time as a means of limiting total expenses. The Trustees also considered management’s discussion

of the current asset levels of the Funds, and the impact on profitability of both the current asset levels and any future growth of assets of the Funds. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the current and proposed advisory fee structure, as applicable, and, as noted above, the services the Investment Manager provides in performing its functions under the Investment Advisory 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 a manager-of-managers structure. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Investment Manager is reasonable and that the Investment Manager is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the advisory fees for any Fund at this time (after noting the fee rate changes made at the meeting). With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees also noted that, as a Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund may realize other economies of scale to the extent that the increase in assets is proportionally greater than the increase in certain other expenses.

SUBADVISORY FEES AND PROFITABILITY

In considering the reasonableness of the fee payable by the Investment Manager to each of DoubleLine Capital LP, Fairpointe Capital LLC, Guardian Capital LP, Lake Partners, Inc., LMCG Investments, LLC, Montag & Caldwell, LLC, Pictet Asset Management Limited, Silvercrest Asset Management Group LLC and Value Partners Hong Kong, Limited (each, an “Unaffiliated Subadviser” and collectively, the “Unaffiliated Subadvisers”), the Trustees relied on the ability of the Investment Manager to negotiate the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement at arm’s length as part of the manager-of-managers structure, noting that the Investment Manager is not affiliated with the Unaffiliated Subadvisers. In addition, the Trustees considered other potential benefits of the subadvisory relationship to the Unaffiliated Subadvisers, including, among others, the indirect benefits that each Unaffiliated Subadviser may receive from its relationship with a Fund, including any so-called “fallout benefits” to the Unaffiliated Subadvisers, such as reputational value derived from the Unaffiliated Subadvisers serving as Subadviser to a Fund. In addition, the Trustees noted that the subadvisory fees are paid by the Investment Manager out of its advisory fee. As a consequence of all of the foregoing, the cost of services to be provided by each Unaffiliated Subadviser and the

profitability to each Unaffiliated Subadviser 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 each of the Unaffiliated Subadvisers to be a material factor in their deliberations at this time.

In considering the reasonableness of the fees payable by the Investment Manager to River Road, the Trustees noted that River Road is an affiliate of the Investment Manager, and the Trustees reviewed information regarding the cost to River Road of providing subadvisory services to a Fund and the resulting profitability from such relationship. The Trustees noted that, because River Road is an affiliate of the Investment Manager, a portion of River Road’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. With respect to each applicable Fund, the Board also took into account management’s discussion of the subadvisory fee structure, and the services River Road provides in performing its functions under the applicable Subadvisory Agreement. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to River Road is reasonable and that River Road is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the investment advisory or subadvisory fees at this time. Also with respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that as a Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund may realize other economies of scale to the extent the increase in assets is proportionally greater than the increase in certain other expenses.

In addition to the foregoing, the Trustees considered the specific factors and related conclusions set forth below with respect to each applicable Fund, the Investment Manager and each Subadviser.

The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through February 28, 2018, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.61%. 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 the Subadviser, the foregoing expense reimbursement arrangement and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

The Board considered that the Fund, as a fund of funds, invests primarily in other investment companies. The Board noted that the Fund historically has invested in underlying funds outside of the AMG Funds Family of Funds. In approving the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Fund, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, found that the advisory fees charged with respect to the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement are based on services provided that will be in addition to, rather than duplicative of, the services provided under the advisory agreement with respect to any underlying fund in which the Fund may invest.

Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Class I shares (which share class has the largest amount of assets of all the share classes of the Fund) for the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year periods ended March 31, 2017 and for the period from the Class I shares’ inception on December 27, 2011 through March 31, 2017 was above the median performance of the Peer Group and below, above, above and above, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Russell 2000^® Value Index. The Trustees also took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including the Fund’s outperformance of the Peer Group for all relevant periods and the reasons for the Fund’s more recent underperformance relative to the Fund Benchmark. The Trustees also noted that Class I shares of the Fund ranked in the top quintile relative to its Peer Group for the 1-year and 3-year periods and in the second quintile relative to its Peer Group for the 5-year period and since inception. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance has been satisfactory.

ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY FEES

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s 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, 2017 were both higher than the average for the Fund’s Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through February 28, 2018, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 1.08%. 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 the Subadviser, the foregoing expense reimbursement arrangement and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

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 the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2017 was below the median performance of the Peer Group and below the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Russell 2000^® Growth Index. The Trustees also took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including the reasons given for the Fund’s underperformance and any actions being taken to address such performance. The Trustees specifically noted the change in the Fund’s Subadviser in February 2016 and that the performance record largely reflects that of the prior Subadviser. The Trustees also noted that Class N shares of the Fund ranked in the third quartile relative to its Peer Group for the 1-year period. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance is being addressed.

FUND PERFORMANCE

Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Class I shares (which share class has the largest amount of assets of all the share classes of the Fund) for the 1-year period ended March 31, 2017 and for the period from the Fund’s inception on December 16, 2015 through March 31, 2017 was above the median performance of the Peer Group and above and below, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the MSCI AC Asia ex Japan Index. The Trustees also took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including the fact that Class I shares of the Fund ranked in the second quintile relative to its Peer Group for all relevant periods. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance has been satisfactory.

ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY FEES

* * * *

After consideration of the foregoing, the Trustees also reached the following conclusions (in addition to the conclusions discussed above) regarding the Investment Advisory 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 Advisory Agreement and the applicable Subadvisory Agreement; (b) each Subadviser’s Investment Strategy is appropriate for pursuing the applicable Fund’s investment objective(s); and (c) 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 Advisory Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, on June 28-29, 2017, the Trustees, and separately a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund and the Subadvisory Agreement for each of AMG Managers DoubleLine Core Plus Bond Fund, AMG Managers Fairpointe Focused Equity Fund, AMG Managers Fairpointe Mid Cap Fund, AMG Managers Guardian Capital Global Dividend Fund, AMG Managers Lake Partners LASSO Alternatives Fund, AMG Managers LMCG Small Cap Growth Fund, AMG Managers Montag & Caldwell Balanced Fund, AMG Managers Montag & Caldwell Growth Fund, AMG Managers Montag & Caldwell Mid Cap Growth Fund, AMG Managers Pictet International Fund, AMG River Road Dividend All Cap Value Fund, AMG River Road Dividend All Cap Value Fund II, AMG River Road Focused Absolute Value Fund, AMG River Road Long-Short Fund, AMG River Road Small-Mid Cap Value Fund, AMG River Road Small Cap Value Fund, AMG Managers Silvercrest Small Cap Fund and AMG Managers Value Partners Asia Dividend Fund.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

Registrant has adopted a Code of Ethics. See attached exhibit (a) (1).

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

Registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that independent Trustee Mr. Steven J. Paggioli qualifies as the Audit Committee Financial Expert. Mr. Paggioli is “independent” as such term is defined in Form N-CSR.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

(a)

Audit Fees

The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years are $488,480 for 2017 and $389,373 for 2016.

(b)

Audit-Related Fees

There were no fees billed by PwC to the Funds in its two recent fiscal years for services rendered for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Fund’s financial statements, but are not reported as Audit Fees (“Audit-Related Fees”).

For the Funds’ two most recent fiscal years, there were no Audit-Related Fees billed by PwC for engagements related directly to the operations and financial reporting of one or more Funds by a Fund Service Provider. A Fund Service Provider is (a) any investment adviser to the Fund (not including any Subadvisor whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) or (b) any entity that provides ongoing services to the Fund and is controlling, controlled by or under common control with a Fund investment adviser described in (a). Tax Fees

(c)

Tax Fees

The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning are $105,265 for 2017 and $109,701 for 2016.

For the Funds’ two most recent fiscal years, Tax Fees billed by PwC for engagements by Fund Service Providers that related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds were $0 for fiscal 2017 and $0 for fiscal 2016, respectively.

The services for which Tax Fees were charged comprise all services performed by professional staff in PwC’s tax division except those services related to the audit. Typically, this category would include fees for tax compliance, tax planning, and tax

advice. Tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning services include preparation of original and amended tax returns, claims for refund and tax payment-planning services, assistance with tax audits and appeals, tax advice related to mergers and acquisitions and requests for rulings or technical advice from taxing authorities.

(d)

All Other Fees

There were no other fees billed by PwC to the Funds for all other non-audit services (“Other Fees”) during the Funds’ two most recent fiscal years. During the same period, there were no Other Fees billed by PwC for engagements by Fund Service Providers that related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds.

(e)

(1) According to policies adopted by the Audit Committee, services provided by PwC to the Funds must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. On an annual basis, the Audit Committee reviews and pre-approves various types of services that PwC may perform for the Funds without specific approval of each engagement, subject to specified budget limitations. As contemplated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related SEC rules, the Audit Committee also pre-approves non-audit services provided by PwC to any Fund Service Provider for any engagement that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds. Any engagement that is not already pre-approved or that will exceed a pre-approved budget must be submitted to the Audit Committee for pre-approval. The Chairman of the Audit Committee is authorized on behalf of the Board of Trustees and the Audit Committee to approve the engagement of PwC to perform non-audit services subject to certain conditions, including notification to the Audit Committee of such pre-approval not later than the next meeting of the Audit Committee following the date of such pre-approval.

(e)

(2) None.

(f)

Not applicable.

(g)

The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the Funds and Fund Service Providers for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant was $186,115 for 2017 and $142,101 for 2016. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017, this amount reflects the amounts disclosed above in Item 4(b),(c),(d), plus $80,850 in fees billed to the Fund Service Providers for non-audit services that did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, this amount reflects the amounts disclosed above in Item 4(b),(c),(d), plus $32,400 in fees billed to the Fund Service Providers for non-audit services that did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds.

(h)

The registrant’s audit committee of the board of trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

Not applicable.

Item 6. Investments.

(a)	Schedule of Investments in securities of unaffiliated issuers as of the close of the reporting period is included as part of the report to shareholders filed under Item 1 of this form.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Not applicable.

Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

Not applicable.

Item 9. Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers.

Not applicable.

Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which the shareholders may recommend nominees to the registrant’s board of directors, where those changes were implemented after the registrant last provided disclosure in response to the requirements of Item 407(c)(2)(iv) of Regulation S-K (17 CFR 229.407) (as required by Item 22(b)(15) of Schedule 14A (17 CFR 240.14a-101)), or this Item.

Item 11. Controls and Procedures.

(a)

The Registrant’s principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded, based on their evaluation of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days of the filing of this report, that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Registrant on Form N-CSR is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and that information required to be disclosed by the registrant in the reports that it files or submits on Form N-CSR is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)

There were no changes in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting during the Registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, the internal control over financial reporting.

Item 12. DISCLOSURE OF SECURITIES LENDING ACTIVITIES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES

Not applicable.
