WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., July 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (NYSE: AMG) today reported its financial and operating results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Jay C. Horgen, President and Chief Executive Officer of AMG, said:
“In a period of significant ongoing uncertainty, AMG reported Economic earnings per share of $2.74 for the second quarter. Net client cash flows were driven by ongoing performance headwinds concentrated in certain quantitative strategies, which offset organic growth across private markets, wealth management, and traditional and alternative fixed income strategies.

“While considerable market volatility persists, we continue to actively position our business for growth; through the disciplined execution of our strategy, along with the quality and diversity of our Affiliates, we are confident in our ability to create meaningful shareholder value over time. We have enhanced our financial flexibility and expanded our solution set for prospective Affiliates, further augmenting our ability to execute on unique opportunities arising from market dislocation. For three decades, AMG has demonstrated the ability to grow across market cycles, and we remain focused on generating long-term value by investing in leading independent boutique managers, through our proven partnership approach, and allocating resources toward the areas of highest growth and return across our opportunity set.”
