1.    Basis of Presentation

      The consolidated financial statements of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc.
(the "Company" or "AMG") have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. The year end condensed
balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not
include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current year's presentation. Operating results for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1997 includes additional information about AMG, its operations, and its
financial position, and should be read in conjunction with this quarterly report
on Form 10-Q.

      The Company has determined that because it is more likely than not that 
a majority of its tax net operating loss carryforwards will be utilized 
during 1998, the deferred tax valuation allowance which existed at December 
31, 1997 was no longer necessary. Accordingly, the Company expects that the 
benefit of the reversal of the allowance will be realized ratably over the 
year.

3.    Earnings Per Share

      The calculation for the basic earnings per share is based on the weighted
average of common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation for the
diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The following is a
reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS
computations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

      This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the 
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are 
based on management's current views and assumptions regarding future events 
and financial performance. Words or phrases such as "will likely result," 
"are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "believes," 
"estimates," "projects" and other similar expressions are intended to 
identify such forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to 
certain risks and uncertainties, including those discussed herein and in the 
"Business - Cautionary Statements" section of the Company's Annual Report on 
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, that could cause 
actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the 
forward-looking statements. The Company wishes to caution readers not to 
place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only 
as of the date made, and the Company will not undertake to release publicly 
the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking 
statements to reflect the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances 
after the date of such statements. In addition, the discussion and analysis 
below with respect to the Year 2000 Issue including i) our expectations of 
when Year 2000 compliance will actually be achieved, ii) estimates of the 
costs involved in achieving Year 2000 readiness and iii) our belief that the 
costs will not be material to operating results, are based on management's
estimates which, in turn, are based upon a number of assumptions regarding 
future events, including third party modification plans and the availability 
of certain resources. There can be no guarantee that these estimates will be 
achieved, and actual results may differ materially from management's 
estimates. Specific factors which might cause such material differences with 
respect to the Year 2000 Issue include, but are not limited to, the failure 
of third party providers to achieve represented or stated levels of Year 2000 
compliance, the availability and cost of personnel trained in this area, the 
ability to locate and correct all relevant computer codes, and similar 
uncertainties.

Overview

      The Company acquires equity positions in mid-sized investment 
management firms, and derives its revenues from such firms. AMG has a revenue 
sharing arrangement with each investment management firm in which it has an 
investment (each, an "Affiliate") which is contained in the organizational 
document of that Affiliate. Each such arrangement allocates a specified 
percentage of revenues (typically 50-70%) for use by management of that 
Affiliate in paying operating expenses of the Affiliate, including salaries 
and bonuses (the "Operating Allocation"). The remaining portion of revenues 
of the Affiliate, typically 30-50% (the "Owners' Allocation"), is allocated 
to the owners of that Affiliate (including AMG), generally in proportion to 
their ownership of the Affiliate. Since its founding in December 1993, the 
Company has completed 11 investments in Affiliates and has announced the 
signing of definitive agreements for investments in two additional 
Affiliates, Davis Hamilton Jackson & Associates, L.P. and Rorer Asset 
Management, LLC. 

      The Affiliates' revenues are derived from the provision of investment
management services for fees. Investment management fees are usually determined
as a percentage fee charged on periodic values of a client's assets under
management. In addition, several of the Affiliates charge performance-based fees
to certain of their clients; these performance-based fees result in payments to
the applicable Affiliate if specified levels of investment performance are
achieved. All references in this report to "assets under management" include
assets directly managed as well as assets underlying overlay strategies which
employ futures, options or other derivative securities to achieve a particular
investment objective.

      Assets under management were $50.1 billion at September 30, 1998 versus
$54.9 billion at June 30, 1998 and $45.7 billion at December 31, 1997. The
decline in assets in the third quarter resulted from adverse conditions in the
equity markets during the quarter, partially offset by positive net client cash
flows of $445 million for the 


                                       6


quarter. Year to date growth was driven by the addition of an Affiliate and
positive net client cash flows of $1.6 billion, offsetting negative investment
performance due primarily to the adverse conditions in the equity markets during
the third quarter.

      Each of the Company's investments is accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting, under which goodwill is recorded for the excess of the
purchase price for the acquisition of interests in Affiliates over the fair
value of the net assets acquired, including acquired client relationships. As a
result of the series of investments made by the Company, intangible assets
(collectively, acquired client relationships and goodwill are referred to as
"intangible assets") constitute a substantial percentage of the assets of the
Company. At September 30, 1998, the Company's total assets were $557.8 million,
of which $163.2 million consisted of acquired client relationships and $310.4
million consisted of goodwill.

      The amortization period for intangible assets for each investment is
assessed individually, with amortization periods for the Company's investments
to date ranging from nine to 28 years in the case of acquired client
relationships and 15 to 35 years in the case of goodwill. In determining the
amortization period for intangible assets acquired, the Company considers a
number of factors including: the firm's historical and potential future
operating performance; the firm's historical and potential future rates of
attrition among clients; the stability and longevity of existing client
relationships; the firm's recent, as well as long-term, investment performance;
the characteristics of the firm's products and investment styles; the stability
and depth of the firm's management team and the firm's history and perceived
franchise or brand value. The Company performs a quarterly evaluation of
intangible assets on an Affiliate-by-Affiliate basis to determine whether there
has been any impairment in their carrying value or their useful lives. If
impairment is indicated, then the carrying amount of intangible assets,
including goodwill, will be reduced to their fair values.

      While amortization of intangible assets has been charged to the results of
operations and is expected to be a continuing material component of the
Company's operating expenses, management believes that it is important to
distinguish this expense from other operating expenses since such amortization
does not require the use of cash. Also, because the Company's distributions from
its Affiliates are based on its share of Owners' Allocation, management has
provided additional supplemental information for "cash" related earnings, as an
addition to, but not as a substitute for, measures related to net income. Such
measures are (i) EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, income taxes,
depreciation and amortization), which the Company believes is useful to
investors as an indicator of the Company's ability to service debt, make new
investments and meet working capital requirements, and (ii) EBITDA as adjusted
(earnings after interest expense and income taxes but before depreciation and
amortization), which the Company believes is useful to investors as another
indicator of funds available to the Company to make new investments, 
repurchase shares or repay debt obligations.

Three Months Ended September 30, 1998 as Compared to Three Months Ended
September 30, 1997

      The Company had net income of $5.9 million for the quarter ended September
30, 1998 compared to net income of $127,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
1997. The increase in net income resulted primarily from net income from new
investments. The Company invested in GeoCapital, LLC ("GeoCapital") in September
1997, Tweedy, Browne Company LLC ("Tweedy, Browne") in October 1997, and Essex
Investment Management Company, LLC ("Essex") in March 1998 and included their
results from their respective dates of investment.

      Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 were $55.9 million, an
increase of $35.5 million over the quarter ended September 30, 1997, primarily
as a result of the addition of the new Affiliates as described above.

      Operating expenses increased by $17.4 million to $34.5 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998 over the quarter ended September 30, 1997.
Compensation and related expenses increased by $9.3 million, amortization of
intangible assets increased by $3.5 million, and selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $3.8 million. The increases in operating
expenses were primarily a result of the addition of the new Affiliates.

      Minority interest increased by $6.1 million to $8.5 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998 over the quarter ended September 30, 1997,
primarily as a result of the increase in revenues from the addition of the new
Affiliates.


                                       7


      Interest expense increased by $2.6 million to $3.6 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 1998 over the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as a result
of the increased indebtedness incurred in connection with the investments in the
new Affiliates.

      Income tax expense was $3.9 million for the quarter ended September 30,
1998 compared to $126,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997. The change
in income tax expense is related to an increase in income before taxes in the
quarter ended September 30, 1998.

      EBITDA increased by $15.9 million to $18.6 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1998 over the quarter ended September 30, 1997, primarily as a
result of the inclusion of the new Affiliates.

      EBITDA as adjusted increased by $9.5 million to $11.1 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998 over the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as a
result of the factors affecting net income as described above, before non-cash
expenses such as amortization of intangible assets and depreciation of $5.3
million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 as Compared to Nine Months Ended
September 30, 1997

      The Company had net income of $16.2 million for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1998 compared to net income of $833,000 for the nine months 
ended September 30, 1997. The increase in net income resulted primarily from 
net income from new investments. The Company invested in Gofen and Glossberg, 
L.L.C. ("Gofen and Glossberg") in May 1997, GeoCapital in September 1997, 
Tweedy, Browne in October 1997, and Essex in March 1998 (collectively, the 
"New Affiliates") and included their results from their respective dates of 
investment.

      Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were $158.2 million,
an increase of $104.9 million over the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
primarily as a result of the addition of the New Affiliates.

      Operating expenses increased by $53.6 million to $97.9 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 over the nine months ended September 30,
1997. Compensation and related expenses increased by $29.7 million, amortization
of intangible assets increased by $9.8 million, selling, general and
administrative expenses increased by $11.8 million, and other operating expenses
increased by $1.6 million. The growth in operating expenses was primarily a
result of the addition of the New Affiliates.

      Minority interest increased by $18.0 million to $24.0 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 over the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
primarily as a result of the addition of New Affiliates.

      Interest expense increased by $7.9 million to $10.6 million for the 
nine months ended September 30, 1998 over the nine months ended September 30, 
1997, as a result of the increased indebtedness incurred in connection with 
the investments in the New Affiliates.

      Income tax expense was $10.8 million for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1998 compared to $221,000 for the nine months ended September 
30, 1997. The change in income tax expense is related to an increase in 
income before taxes in the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and the 
recognition of the benefit of the reversal of the Company's tax valuation 
allowance at December 31, 1996 in the nine months ended September 30, 1997.

      EBITDA increased by $44.4 million to $52.4 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 over the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
primarily as a result of the inclusion of the New Affiliates.

      EBITDA as adjusted increased by $26.0 million to $31.0 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 over the nine months ended September 30,
1997 as a result of the factors affecting net income as described above, before
non-cash expenses such as amortization of intangible assets and depreciation of
$14.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.


                                       8


Liquidity and Capital Resources

      At September 30, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $29.9
million and outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility ("Credit
Facility") of $200.3 million. The Credit Facility allows for borrowings up to
$300 million (which may be increased to $400 million upon the approval of the
lenders) and matures in December 2002. The Company pays interest at either LIBOR
plus a margin or the Prime Rate plus a margin, as well as a commitment fee on
the daily unused portion of the facility.

      On September 11, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share
repurchase program pursuant to which AMG could repurchase up to five percent of
AMG's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. During the quarter ended
September 30, 1998, the Company repurchased 84,400 shares for $1.5 million.
Subsequent to September 30, 1998 the Company has repurchased an additional
62,600 shares for $1.1 million.

      On October 22, 1998, AMG announced an agreement to acquire a 65% 
interest in Davis Hamilton Jackson & Associates, L.P., which will hold the 
business presently operated by Davis Hamilton Jackson & Associates, Inc. 
("DHJA"). DHJA is a Houston based asset management firm with approximately 
$3.0 billion of assets under management at September 30, 1998. On November 9, 
1998, the Company announced an agreement to acquire an approximately 65% 
interest in Rorer Asset Management, LLC, which will hold the business 
presently operated by Edward C. Rorer & Co., Inc. ("Rorer"). Rorer is a 
Philadelphia based investment advisor with approximately $3.6 billion of 
assets under management at September 30, 1998. AMG will pay approximately $65 
million in cash for its investment in Rorer. AMG will finance these two 
investments with borrowings under its Credit Facility.

      In order to provide the funds necessary for the Company to continue to
acquire interests in investment management firms, including additional
investments in existing Affiliates, it will be necessary for the Company to
incur, from time to time, additional long-term debt and/or issue equity or debt
securities, depending on market and other conditions. There can be no assurance
that such additional financing will be available or become available on terms
acceptable to the Company.

Recent Accounting Developments

      In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("FAS 131"). FAS 131 requires
disclosure of financial and descriptive information about an entity's reportable
operating segments. This standard is effective for financial statements for
periods beginning after December 15, 1997, with restatement of comparative
information for prior periods. The standard is not required to be applied to
interim financial statements in the initial year of its application.

      In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("FAS
133"). FAS 133 standardizes the accounting for derivative instruments by
requiring that all derivatives be recognized as assets and liabilities and
measured at fair value. FAS 133 is effective for financial statements for fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 1999.

      The Company does not believe that the implementation of FAS 131 or FAS 133
will have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Impact of the Year 2000 Issue

    The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's
or its Affiliates' computer programs that have date-sensitive software may
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This
could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of
operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities. 
Such disruptions could affect the Company's Affiliates' ability to provide 
advisory services.

    The Company has identified all of the significant computers, software 
applications and related equipment at the holding company that need to be 
modified, upgraded or replaced to minimize the possibility of a material 
disruption to its business.

                                       9


    In addition, the Company has established with each Affiliate a timeline 
for compliance and has received estimates of compliance costs. As part of the 
general compliance program, each of the Affiliates has assigned 
responsibility for the Year 2000 Issue to a member of senior management to 
ensure both proprietary and third party vendor systems will be Year 2000 
compliant.

    All Affiliates have completed their assessment and plans are in place for 
the renovation or replacement of non-compliant systems. The completion of 
renovation or replacement and the subsequent testing and implementation are 
scheduled for the fourth quarter of 1998 and early 1999, while industry wide 
testing will take place in 1999. If the Affiliates fail to resolve their Year 
2000 issues, the Affiliates' and, accordingly, the Company's business would 
be materially disrupted.

    Outside service providers perform certain processes which are critical 
for the Company's Affiliates, including transfer agency and custody 
functions. The progress of these parties is being monitored by the Company's 
Affiliates. However, the Affiliates have limited or no control over the 
actions of these outside parties and in certain cases no alternative vendors 
are available. If these parties fail to resolve Year 2000 issues, the 
Affiliates and, accordingly, the Company's business would be materially 
disrupted.

    The Company and its Affiliates estimate that its compliance activities 
will be completed no later than the second quarter of 1999. Because most of 
the Year 2000 costs are being covered by the Affiliates' Operating 
Allocation, the total costs of this effort to the Company (as opposed to the 
affiliates) are estimated to be less than $800,000 for the four year period 
ending December 31, 1999.

European Monetary Unit

    On January 1, 1999, a single currency for the European Economic and 
Monetary Union (the "Euro") is scheduled to replace the national currency for 
participating member countries which include countries in which several of 
the Company's Affiliates do business. The managed funds and financial 
products of these Affiliates have investments in countries whose currencies 
will be replaced by the Euro. Many aspects of these Affiliates' investment 
process, including trading, foreign exchange, payments, settlements, cash 
accounts, custodial accounts and accounting will be affected by the 
implementation of the Euro (the "Euro Issue").

    The Affiliates impacted have created teams to determine changes that will 
be required in connection with the Euro Issue in order to process 
transactions accurately with minimal disruption to business activities. These 
Affiliates are also communicating with its external partners and vendors to 
assess their readiness to manage the Euro Issue without disruption to their 
business or operations. If these Affiliates fail to resolve their Euro Issue, 
the Affiliates and, accordingly, the Company's business would be materially 
disrupted.
