Semi-Annual ReportJune 30, 2017 (unaudited)
Nothing contained herein is to be considered an offer, sale or solicitation of an offer to buy shares of any series of the AMG
Funds family of mutual funds. Such offering is made only by prospectus, which includes details as to offering price and other material information.
About Your Funds Expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include
sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is
intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and
held for the entire period as indicated below.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the following table provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line,
together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the
first line under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second
line of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Funds
actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and
other funds by comparing this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please
note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful
in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

The performance data shown represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Current
performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investors shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Investors should carefully consider the Funds investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. For performance information
through the most recent month end, current net asset values per share for the Funds and other information, please call (800) 835-3879 or visit our website at www.amgfunds.com for a free prospectus. Read it
carefully before investing or sending money.

|
Date reflects inception date of the Fund, not the index. |
1 |
Total return equals income yield plus share price change and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns are net of fees and may
reflect offsets of Fund expenses as described in the prospectus. No adjustment has been made for taxes payable by shareholders on their reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized.
The listed returns on the Funds are net of expenses and based on the published NAV as of June 30, 2017. All returns are in U.S. dollars ($). |
2 |
From time to time, the Funds advisor has waived its fees and/or absorbed Fund expenses, which has resulted in higher returns. |
3 |
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 is subject to the risks associated with investments in debt securities, such as default risk and fluctuations in the perception of the debtors 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. |
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 |
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. |
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.
|
8 |
The Fund is subject to the risks associated with investments in emerging markets, such as erratic earnings patterns, economic and political instability, changing
exchange controls, limitations on repatriation of foreign capital and changes in local governmental attitudes toward private investment, possibly leading to nationalization or confiscation of investor assets. |
9 |
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
Fund Performance (continued)
10 |
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. |
11 |
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. |
12 |
Many bonds have call provisions which allow the debtors to pay them back before maturity. This is especially true with mortgage securities, which can be paid back
anytime. Typically debtors prepay their debt when it is to their advantage (when interest rates drop making a new loan at current rates more attractive), and thus likely to the disadvantage of bondholders, who may have to reinvest prepayment
proceeds in securities with lower yields. Prepayment risk will vary depending on the provisions of the security and current interest rates relative to the interest rate of the debt. |
13 |
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. |
14 |
The Russell 1000® Index measures the performance of approximately 1,000 of the largest securities based on a
combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell 1000 represents approximately 92% of the U.S. market. Unlike the Fund, the Russell 1000® Index is unmanaged, is not
available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
15 |
The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index represents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable, and dollar
denominated. The index covers the U.S. investment grade fixed rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities, and asset-backed securities. Unlike the Fund, the Bloomberg Barclays
U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
16 |
The Russell 2000® Value Index is an unmanaged, market-value weighted, value-oriented index comprised of small
stocks that have relatively low price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. Unlike the Fund, the Russell
2000® Value Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
17 |
Effective February 27, 2017, Class S of AMG Managers Amundi Intermediate Government Fund and AMG Managers Amundi Short Duration Government Fund were renamed
Class N. |
18 |
The Citigroup Mortgage Index includes all outstanding government sponsored fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities, weighted in proportion to their current market
capitalization. The Index reflects no deductions for fees, expenses, or taxes. Unlike the Fund, the Citigroup Mortgage Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
19 |
The BofA Merrill Lynch 6-Month T-Bill Index is an unmanaged index that measures
returns of six-month Treasury Bills. Unlike the Fund, the BofA Merrill Lynch 6-Month T-Bill Index is unmanaged, is not available

Because a funds strategy may result in multiple investments in particular sectors of the economy, its
performance may depend on the performance of those sectors and may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across more sectors. For additional information on these and other risk considerations, please see the Funds prospectus.
Any sectors, industries, or securities discussed should not be perceived as investment recommendations. Mention of a specific security should not be
considered a recommendation to buy or solicitation to sell that security. Specific securities mentioned in this report may have been sold from the Funds portfolio of investments by the time you receive this report.

Because a funds strategy may result in multiple investments in particular sectors of the economy, its
performance may depend on the performance of those sectors and may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across more sectors. For additional information on these and other risk considerations, please see the Funds prospectus.
Any sectors, industries, or securities discussed should not be perceived as investment recommendations. Mention of a specific security should not be
considered a recommendation to buy or solicitation to sell that security. Specific securities mentioned in this report may have been sold from the Funds portfolio of investments by the time you receive this report.

Credit quality ratings shown above reflect the highest rating assigned by either Standard & Poors
(S&P) or Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys). These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized statistical rating organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings
of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated N/R are not rated by either rating agency. Unrated investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings
are subject to change.
Because a funds strategy may result in multiple investments in particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend
on the performance of those sectors and may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across more sectors. For additional information on these and other risk considerations, please see the Funds prospectus.
Any sectors, industries, or securities discussed should not be perceived as investment recommendations. Mention of a specific security should not be
considered a recommendation to buy or solicitation to sell that security. Specific securities mentioned in this report may have been sold from the Funds portfolio of investments by the time you receive this report.

Credit quality ratings shown above reflect the highest rating assigned by either Standard & Poors
(S&P) or Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys). These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized statistical rating organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings
of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated N/R are not rated by either rating agency. Unrated investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings
are subject to change.
Because a funds strategy may result in multiple investments in particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend
on the performance of those sectors and may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across more sectors. For additional information on these and other risk considerations, please see the Funds prospectus.
Any sectors, industries, or securities discussed should not be perceived as investment recommendations. Mention of a specific security should not be
considered a recommendation to buy or solicitation to sell that security. Specific securities mentioned in this report may have been sold from the Funds portfolio of investments by the time you receive this report.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
AMG Funds and AMG Funds II (the Trusts) are open-end management investment companies, organized as
Massachusetts business trusts and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). Currently, the Trusts consist of a number of different funds, each having distinct investment management objectives,
strategies, risks, and policies. Included in this report are AMG Funds: AMG Chicago Equity Partners Small Cap Value Fund (Small Cap Value) and AMG Funds II: AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund (Balanced), AMG Managers
Amundi Intermediate Government Fund (Intermediate Government) and AMG Managers Amundi Short Duration Government Fund (Short Duration), each a Fund and collectively the Funds.
Each Fund offers different classes of shares, which, effective October 1, 2016, were renamed or redesignated. Both Balanced and Small Cap Value
previously offered Investor Class shares, Service Class shares, and Institutional Class shares which were renamed to Class N, Class I and Class Z, respectively; and Intermediate Government and Short Durations
shares were reclassified and redesignated to Class S. Effective February 27, 2017, Intermediate Government and Short Durations Class S shares were renamed Class N and both funds commenced offering Class I and
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 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 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.
Futures contracts for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the settlement
price as of the close of the futures exchange.
The Funds portfolio investments are generally valued based on independent market quotations or
prices or, if none, evaluative or other market based valuations provided by third-party pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trusts (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 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 Boards 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 Trusts 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
52
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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, futures contracts)
Level 2 other observable inputs (including, but not
limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets
or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, foreign currency exchange
contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities with observable inputs)
Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds 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. 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 Trusts 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.
The following Funds had certain portfolio trades directed to various brokers, under a brokerage recapture program, which paid a portion of such Funds
expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the amount by which the Funds expenses were reduced and the impact on the expense ratios, if any, were as follows: Balanced - $5,881 or less than 0.01%, Small Cap Value - $3,815 or 0.04%.
d. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Fund distributions
resulting from either net investment income or realized net capital gains, if any, will normally be declared and paid at least annually in December, as described in the Funds prospectus. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial statement purposes (U.S.
GAAP). Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense and gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement
and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Temporary differences are due to differences between book and tax treatment of losses for excise tax purposes, wash sales, futures and tax straddles.
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, 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 Funds 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.
53
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Management has analyzed the Funds tax positions taken on federal income tax returns as of
December 31, 2016, and 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 in taxable years beginning after the enactment of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, may be carried
forward for an unlimited time period. Such losses will be required to be utilized prior to any loss carryovers incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which generally expire eight years following the close of
the taxable year in which they were incurred. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are
carried forward retain their tax character as either short-term or long-term capital losses, unlike pre-enactment losses which are considered all short-term.
f. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYOVERS AND DEFERRALS
As of
June 30, 2017, the following Funds had accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from securities transactions for federal income tax purposes as shown in the following chart. These amounts may be used to offset future
realized capital gains, if any, through the expiration dates listed or in the case of post-enactment losses, for an unlimited time period.

As of June 30, 2017, Balanced and Intermediate Government had no accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from
securities transactions for federal income tax purposes. Should Balanced and Intermediate Government incur net capital losses for the year ending December 31, 2017, such amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains, for an
unlimited time period.
g. CAPITAL STOCK
The
Trusts 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. The cost of
securities contributed to the Funds in connection with the issuance of shares is based on the valuation of those securities in accordance with the Funds policy on investment valuation.
For the six months ended June 30,
2017 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 2016, the capital stock transactions by class for the Funds were as follows:

Commencement of operations was February 27, 2017. |
At June 30, 2017, certain unaffiliated shareholders of record, including omnibus accounts, individually or
collectively held greater than 10% of the net assets of the Funds as follows: Balanced - two own 43%; Small Cap Value - two own 34%; Intermediate Government - two own 52%; Short Duration - three own 71%. Transactions by these shareholders may have a
material impact on their respective Funds.
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
June 30, 2017, the market value of Repurchase Agreements outstanding for Balanced and Small Cap Value were $1,857,507 and $296,389, respectively.
i. SECURITIES TRANSACTED ON A WHEN ISSUED BASIS
All Funds except Small Cap Value 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 contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is
recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the Funds realize a gain or loss. If the Funds deliver securities under the commitment, the Funds
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.
j. DELAYED
DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS AND WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES
All Funds except Small Cap Value 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 Funds Schedules of Portfolio Investments. With respect to
55
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
purchase commitments, the Funds identify 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 Funds Statement of Assets
and Liabilities. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset the receivable and payable for delayed delivery investments purchased and 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.
2. AGREEMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
For each
of the Funds, the Trusts have 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 subadvisers for the Funds (subject to Board approval) and monitors each subadvisers investment performance,
security holdings and investment strategies. Each Funds investment portfolio is managed by one or more portfolio managers who serve pursuant to a subadvisory agreement with the Investment Manager. The investment portfolio of Balanced and Small
Cap Value are managed by Chicago Equity Partners, LLC (CEP). AMG indirectly owns a majority interest in CEP.
Investment management fees are
paid directly by the Funds to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. Effective October 1, 2016, the Funds investment management fees are paid at the following annual rate of each Funds respective average daily net
assets:
|
|
|
|
|
Balanced |
|
|
0.60 |
% |
Small Cap Value |
|
|
0.62 |
% |
Intermediate Government |
|
|
0.48 |
% |
Short Duration |
|
|
0.40 |
% |
Prior to October 1, 2016, the annual rate for the investment management fees was 0.70%, 0.62%, 0.70% and 0.70% of each
Funds average daily net assets of Balanced, Small Cap Value, Intermediate Government and Short Duration, respectively.
The Investment Manager has
contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2018, to waive management fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in order to limit total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest
(including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody overdrafts), shareholder servicing fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, acquired fund
fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) of Balanced and Small Cap Value to 0.84% and 0.95%, respectively, of each Funds average daily net assets subject to later reimbursement by the Funds in certain circumstances.
The Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2018, to waive management fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in order to
limit total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of taxes,
interest (including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody overdrafts), shareholder servicing fees, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) to 0.74% of
Intermediate Governments average daily net assets subject to later reimbursement by the Fund in certain circumstances.
Effective February 27,
2017, the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2018, to waive Intermediate Governments management fee by 0.05%, from 0.48% to 0.43%, and Short Durations management fee by 0.11%, from 0.40% to 0.29%. For the
six months ended June 30, 2017, the management fee for Intermediate Government and Short Duration was reduced by $24,915 and $81,289, respectively.
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 Funds 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.
In general, for a period of up to 36 months, the Investment Manager may recover from Balanced, Small
Cap Value and Intermediate Government, fees waived and expenses paid pursuant to this contractual agreement, provided that such repayment would not cause the Funds total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements to
exceed the contractual expense limitation amount.
At June 30, 2017, the Funds expiration of recoupment are as follows:

Distribution Services, Inc., with respect to short-term cash investments the Funds may have made in the JPMorgan Money Market Funds.
56
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the investment management fee for Intermediate Government was
reduced by $6,834.
The Trusts, on behalf of the Funds, have 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 Funds prospectus. Effective October 1, 2016, each Fund pays a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.15% per annum of the Funds average daily net assets for this
service. Prior to October 1, 2016, Balanced and Small Cap Value paid an administration fee under a similar contract at an annual rate of 0.20% and 0.25%, respectively, of each Funds average daily net assets while Intermediate Government
and Short Duration did not pay an administration fee.
The Funds are distributed by AMG Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Investment Manager. The Distributor serves as the distributor and underwriter for each Fund and is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). Shares of each Fund
will be continuously offered and will be sold directly to prospective purchasers 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 Trusts have adopted a distribution and service plan (the Plan) with respect to the Class N 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, Balanced and Small Cap Value may make payments to the Distributor
for their expenditures in financing any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of each Funds Class N shares and for maintenance and personal service provided to existing shareholders of that class. The Plan authorizes payments
to the Distributor up to 0.25% annually of each Funds average daily net assets attributable to the Class N shares.
For Class N of Small
Cap Value, Intermediate Government and Short Duration and Class I of Balanced, Small Cap Value, Intermediate Government and Short Duration, 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), banks, and trust companies who provide shareholder
recordkeeping, account servicing and other services. There are no shareholder servicing fees authorized for Class Z. The Class N and Class I shares may reimburse the Investment Manager for the actual amount incurred up to a maximum
annual rate of each Classs average daily net asset value as shown in the table below.
The impact on the annualized expense ratios for the six months

The Board provides supervision of the affairs of the Trusts and other trusts within the AMG Funds family. The Trustees of the Trusts 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 the
Funds to lend and borrow money for certain temporary purposes directly to and from other eligible funds in the AMG Funds family. Participation in this interfund lending program is voluntary for both the borrowing and lending funds, and an interfund
loan is only made if it benefits each participating fund. The 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 six months ended June 30, 2017, Short Duration lent varying amounts not exceeding $1,536,965 for five days earning interest of
$284. The interest amount is included in the Statement of Operations as interest income. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, Balanced, Small Cap Value and Intermediate Government neither borrowed from nor lent to other funds in the AMG
Funds family. At June 30, 2017, the Funds had no interfund loans outstanding.

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 June 30, 2017, the value of the securities loaned and cash collateral received, were as follows:

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Under the Trusts organizational documents, its trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Trusts. 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. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The following
disclosures contain information on how and why certain Funds use derivative instruments, the credit risk and how derivative instruments affect the Funds financial position and results of operations and cash flows. The location and fair value
amounts of these instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and the realized gains and losses and changes in unrealized gains and losses on the Statement of Operations, each categorized by type of derivative contract, are included in a
table in the Notes to the Schedules of Portfolio Investments. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the average quarterly balances of derivative financial instruments outstanding were as follows:

7. FUTURES CONTRACTS
A
Fund may enter into futures contracts to achieve a desired level of investment, whether to accommodate portfolio turnover or cash flows from capital shares transactions. There are certain risks associated with futures contracts. Prices may not move
as expected or the Fund may not be able to close out the contract when it desires to do so, resulting in losses.
On entering into a futures contract,
either cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value (initial margin) must be deposited with the futures broker. Variation margin payments are made or received each day. The variation margin payments equal the
daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. For over-the-counter (OTC) futures, daily variation margin payments are
not required. The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Futures are valued at their
quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability)
and in the Statement of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses) on futures contracts.
8. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS (CMOs)
The net asset values of a Fund may be sensitive to interest rate fluctuations because a Fund may hold several instruments, including CMOs and other
derivatives, whose values can be significantly impacted by interest rate movements. CMOs are obligations collateralized by a portfolio of mortgages or mortgage-related securities. Payments of principal and interest on the mortgages are passed
through to the holder of the CMOs on the same schedule
58
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
as they are received, although certain classes of CMOs have priority over others with respect to the receipt of
prepayments on the mortgages. Therefore, the investment in CMOs may be subject to a greater or lesser risk of prepayment than other types of mortgage-related securities. CMOs are subject to principal paydowns as a result of prepayments or
refinancing of the underlying mortgage instruments. As a result, the average life may be substantially less than the original maturity. CMOs may have a fixed or variable rate of interest.
9. DOLLAR ROLL AGREEMENTS
All Funds except Small Cap
Value may enter into dollar rolls in which they sell debt securities for delivery currently and simultaneously contract to repurchase similar, but not identical, securities at the same price or a lower price on an agreed date. The Funds receive
compensation as consideration for entering into the commitment to repurchase. The compensation is the difference between the current sale price and the repurchase price (often referred to as the drop) as well as the interest earned on
the cash proceeds of the initial sale. The Funds may also be compensated by the receipt of a commitment fee. As the holder, the counterparty receives all principal and interest payments, including prepayments, made with respect to the similar
security sold. Dollar rolls may be renewed with a new sale and repurchase price with a cash settlement made at renewal without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract.
Certain risks may arise upon entering into dollar rolls from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their commitments. Additionally,
the value of such securities may change adversely before the Funds are able to repurchase them. There can be no assurance that the Funds use of the cash that they receive from a dollar roll will provide a return that exceeds their cost.
10. STRIPPED SECURITIES
Intermediate Government and
Short Duration may invest in stripped securities (STRIPS) for hedging purposes to protect the Funds portfolios 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 &
Poors Corporation or Moodys 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 Funds ability to buy or sell those securities at any particular time.
11. MASTER NETTING AGREEMENTS
The Funds may enter into
master netting agreements with their counterparties for the securities lending program 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 transactions, see Note 4.
The following table is a summary of the
Funds open Repurchase Agreements that are subject to a master netting agreement as of June 30, 2017:

12. REGULATORY UPDATES
On October 13, 2016, the SEC amended existing rules intended to modernize reporting and disclosure of information. These amendments relate to Regulation S-X, which sets forth the form and content of financial statements. Management has evaluated the implications of adopting these amendments and has determined there is no material impact on the financial statements
and accompanying notes.
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds have determined that no material events or transactions occurred through the issuance date of the Funds financial statements, which require an
additional disclosure in or adjustment of the Funds financial statements.

Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements
(unaudited)
AMG Managers Amundi Intermediate Government Fund (formerly AMG Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund),
AMG Managers Amundi Short Duration Government Fund (formerly AMG Managers Short Duration Government Fund), AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund and AMG Chicago Equity Partners Small Cap Value Fund: Approval of Investment Management and
Subadvisory Agreements on June 28-29, 2017
At an in-person meeting held
on June 28-29, 2017, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees) of each of AMG Funds and AMG Funds II (each, a Trust and collectively, the Trusts), and
separately a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trusts (the Independent Trustees), approved (i) the Investment Management Agreement, as amended pursuant to letter agreements at any time prior
to the date of the meeting, with AMG Funds LLC (the Investment Manager) and each Trust for each of AMG Managers Amundi Intermediate Government Fund (formerly AMG Managers Intermediate Duration Government Fund), AMG Managers Amundi Short
Duration Government Fund (formerly AMG Managers Short Duration Government Fund), AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund and AMG Chicago Equity Partners Small Cap Value Fund (each, a Fund, and collectively, the Funds) and
separately each of Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 dated July 1, 2015, and Amendment No. 3 dated October 1, 2016, to the Investment Management Agreement with AMG Funds II and separately each of Amendment No. 1 dated
July 1, 2015, and Amendment No. 2 dated October 1, 2016, to the Investment Management Agreement with AMG Funds (collectively, the Investment Management Agreement) and (ii) the Subadvisory Agreement, as amended at any
time prior to the date of the meeting, for each Fund (collectively, the Subadvisory Agreements). The Independent Trustees were separately represented by independent legal counsel in connection with their consideration of the approval of
these agreements. In considering the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed a variety of materials relating to each Fund, the Investment
Manager and each Subadviser, including comparative performance, fee and expense information for an appropriate peer group of similar mutual funds (each, a Peer Group), performance
information for relevant benchmark indices (each, a Fund Benchmark) and, as to all other matters, other information provided to them on a periodic basis throughout the year, as well as information provided in connection with the meetings
of June 28-29, 2017, regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisers under their respective agreements. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees:
(a) reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel and with management; (b) received materials from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the Investment
Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements; and (c) met with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.
NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES.
In considering
the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees reviewed information relating to the Investment Managers operations and personnel. Among other things, the Investment Manager provided financial
information, biographical information on its supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Trustees also took into account information provided periodically throughout the previous year by
the Investment Manager in Board meetings relating to the performance of its duties with respect to the Funds and the Trustees knowledge of the Investment Managers management and the quality of the performance of the Investment
Managers duties under the Investment Management Agreement and Administration Agreement. In the course of their deliberations regarding the Investment Manager, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the extent and quality of the
Investment Managers 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 Managers ability to supervise the Funds other service providers; and (d) the Investment
Managers compliance program. The Trustees also took into account that, in performing its functions under the Investment Management 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 Subadvisers 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 Subadvisers 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 Trusts 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
61
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
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 Management Agreement and applicable law. With respect to AMG Chicago Equity Partners Small Cap Value Fund and
AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced 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 Management Agreement and the Investment Managers undertaking to maintain contractual expense limitations for AMG Managers Amundi Intermediate Government
Fund, AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund and AMG Chicago Equity Partners Small Cap Value Fund. The Trustees also considered the Investment Managers risk management processes.
For each Fund, the Trustees also reviewed information relating to each Subadvisers 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
Subadvisers organizational and management structure and each Subadvisers brokerage policies and practices. The Trustees considered specific information provided regarding the experience of the individuals at each Subadviser with
portfolio management responsibility for the Fund, including the information set forth in the Funds 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 Subadvisers personnel; and (c) the Subadvisers 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. The Trustees also considered
each Subadvisers risk management processes.
PERFORMANCE.
As noted above, the Board considered each Funds net performance during relevant time periods as compared to the Funds Peer Group and Fund Benchmark
and considered the gross performance of the Fund as compared to the Subadvisers 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 Funds performance results and portfolio composition, as well as each Subadvisers Investment Strategy. The Board noted the Investment Managers expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style
and risk-adjusted performance of each Subadviser. The Board was mindful of the Investment Managers attention to monitoring each Subadvisers performance with respect to the Funds and its discussions with management regarding the factors
that contributed to the performance of the Funds.
ADVISORY FEES 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 Funds 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
Administration Agreement with the Funds. 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 from Chicago Equity Partners, LLC (CEP) to the Investment Manager, and any other payments made or to be made from the Investment Manager to CEP. 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 Managers Amundi Intermediate Government Fund, AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund and AMG Chicago Equity Partners Small Cap Value 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 waive fees and pay expenses for AMG Managers Amundi Intermediate Government Fund, AMG Chicago Equity Partners Balanced Fund and AMG Chicago Equity Partners Small Cap Value Fund from time to time as a
means of limiting total expenses. The Trustees also considered managements discussion of the current asset levels of the Funds, and the impact
62
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
on profitability of both the current asset levels and any future growth of assets of the Funds. The Board took
into account managements discussion of the advisory fee structure, and, as noted above, the services the Investment Manager provides in performing its functions under the Investment Management 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. With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees also noted that as a Funds 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 Amundi Smith Breeden LLC (Amundi), the Trustees relied on the
ability of the Investment Manager to negotiate the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement at arms length as part of the manager-of-managers structure, noting that the
Investment Manager is not affiliated with Amundi. In addition, the Trustees considered other potential benefits of the subadvisory relationship to Amundi, including, among others, the indirect benefits that Amundi may receive from its relationship
with a Fund, including any so-called fallout benefits to Amundi, such as reputational value derived from Amundi serving as Subadviser to a Fund, which bears Amundis name. 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 Amundi and the profitability to Amundi 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 Amundi to be a material factor in their deliberations at this time.
In considering the reasonableness of the fees payable by the Investment Manager to CEP, the Trustees noted that CEP is an affiliate of the Investment Manager,
and the Trustees reviewed information regarding the cost to CEP of providing subadvisory services to a Fund and the resulting profitability from such relationship. The Trustees noted that, because CEP is an affiliate of the Investment Manager, a
portion of CEPs 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. The Board also took into
account managements discussion of the subadvisory fee structure, and the services CEP provides in performing its functions under the applicable Subadvisory Agreement. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to CEP
is reasonable and that CEP is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the advisory or subadvisory fees at this time. Also with respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that as the
Funds 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 Fund, the Investment
Manager and each Subadviser.
AMG Managers Amundi Short Duration Government Fund
Fund Performance.
Among other information relating to the
Funds performance, the Trustees noted that the Funds 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, below, below and above, respectively, the median performance of the
Peer Group and above the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch 6-Month T-Bill Index. The Trustees took into account managements discussion of
the Funds performance, including the reasons for the Funds more recent improved performance relative to the Fund Benchmark and the Funds underperformance relative to the Peer Group. The Trustees noted that the Fund outperformed the
Fund Benchmark for all relevant time periods and that Class N shares of the Fund ranked in the second quartile relative to its Peer Group for the 10-year period. The Trustees concluded that the
Funds overall performance has been satisfactory.
Advisory and Subadvisory Fees.
The Trustees noted that the Funds management fees (which include both the advisory and administration fees) and total expenses (weighted average, all
classes combined) as of March 31, 2017 were both higher than the average for the Funds Peer Group. The Trustees also noted that, effective February 27, 2017, the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2018,
to waive the Funds advisory fee by 0.11%, from 0.40% to 0.29%. The Trustees took into account managements discussion of the Funds expenses, including the Funds relatively distinctive investment approach. The Trustees
concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Funds advisory
and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
AMG Managers Amundi Intermediate Government Fund
Fund Performance.
Among other information relating to the
Funds performance, the Trustees noted that the Funds 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
63
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
Fund) for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2017 was above the median performance of the Peer Group and above, below, above and above, respectively, the performance of the
Fund Benchmark, the Citigroup Mortgage Index. The Trustees took into account managements discussion of the Funds performance, including its more recent improved performance relative to the Fund Benchmark. The Trustees also took into
account the fact that Class N shares of the Fund ranked in the top decile relative to its Peer Group for the 5-year period, in the top quintile relative to its Peer Group for the 3-year and 10-year periods, and in the top quartile relative to its Peer Group for the 1-year period. The Trustees concluded that the
Funds overall performance has been satisfactory.
Advisory and Subadvisory Fees.
The Trustees noted that the Funds 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 Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed,
through May 1, 2018, to limit the Funds net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.74%. The Trustees also noted that, effective February 27, 2017, the Investment Manager has contractually agreed,
through May 1, 2018, to waive the Funds advisory fee by 0.05%, from 0.48% to 0.43%. The Trustees also took into account the Funds relatively distinctive investment approach. 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 limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Funds advisory and
subadvisory fees are reasonable.

Fund Performance.
Among other information relating to the
Funds performance, the Trustees noted that the Funds performance for Class N shares (which share class has 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, above, above and above, respectively, the median performance of
the Peer Group and below the performance of the Fund Benchmark, a Composite Index (60% Russell 1000 Index and 40% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index). The Trustees took into account managements discussion of the Funds
performance, including the reasons for the Funds more recent underperformance. The Trustees also noted that the Funds longer-term performance results ranked strongly relative to its Peer Group and that Class N shares of the Fund
ranked in the top quintile relative to its Peer Group for the 3-year and 10-year periods. The Trustees concluded that the Funds overall performance has been
satisfactory in light of all the factors considered.
Advisory and Subadvisory Fees.
The Trustees noted that the Funds 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 higher and lower, respectively, than the average for the Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has
contractually agreed, through May 1, 2018, to limit the Funds net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.84%. The Trustees also took into account managements discussion of the Funds 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 (which is an affiliate of the Investment
Manager), the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the
Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Funds advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

Fund
Performance.
Among other information relating to the Funds performance, the Trustees noted that the Funds 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 Funds inception on
December 31, 2014 through March 31, 2017 was above the median performance of the Peer Group and below the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index. The Trustees took into account managements discussion of the
Funds performance, including the reasons for the Funds underperformance relative to the Fund Benchmark. The Trustees also noted that Class I shares of the Fund outperformed its Peer Group for all relevant time periods and that
Class I shares of the Fund ranked in the top quintile relative to its Peer Group for the 1-year period. The Trustees concluded that the Funds overall performance has been satisfactory.
Advisory and Subadvisory Fees.
The Trustees noted that
the Funds 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 lower than
the average for the Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2018, to limit the Funds net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to
0.95%. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser (which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), the foregoing expense limitation and the
considerations noted above with

Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Funds advisory and subadvisory fees are
reasonable.
* * * * *
After consideration of the foregoing, the Trustees also reached the following conclusions (in addition to the conclusions discussed above) regarding the
Investment Management 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
Management Agreement and the applicable Subadvisory Agreement; (b) each Subadvisers Investment Strategy is appropriate for pursuing the applicable Funds investment objectives; 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 Management 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 Management Agreement
for each Fund and the Subadvisory Agreement for each Fund.

Nothing contained herein is to be considered an offer, sale or solicitation of an offer to buy shares of any
series of the AMG Fund family of mutual funds. Such offering is made only by prospectus, which includes details as to offering price and other material information.
About Your Funds Expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include
sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is
intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and
held for the entire period as indicated below.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the following table provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line,
together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the
first line under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second
line of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Funds
actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and
other funds by comparing this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please
note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful
in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

The performance data shown represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Current
performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investors shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Investors should carefully consider the Funds investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. For performance information
through the most recent month end, current net asset values per
share for the Fund and other information, please call (800) 835-3879 or
visit our website at www.amgfunds.com for a free prospectus. Read it carefully before investing or sending money.

|
Date reflects the inception date of the Fund, not the index. |
1 |
Total return equals income yield plus share price change and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns are net of fees and may
reflect offsets of Fund expenses as described in the prospectus. No adjustment has been made for taxes payable by shareholders on their reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized.
The listed returns on the Fund are net of expenses and based on the published NAV as of June 30, 2017. All returns are in U.S. dollars ($). |
2 |
From time to time, the Funds advisor has waived its fees and/or absorbed Fund expenses, which has resulted in higher returns. |
3 |
The Fund is subject to the risks associated with investments in debt securities, such as default risk and fluctuations in the perception of the debtors ability
to pay its creditors. |
4 |
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 issuers continuing ability to make principal and interest payments. The issuers of the Funds holdings may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings,
reorganizations, or financial restructurings, and are not as strong financially as higher-rated issuers. |
5 |
The use of leverage in a Funds strategy, such as futures and forward commitment transactions, can magnify relatively small market movements into relatively
larger losses for the Fund. |
6 |
Factors unique to the municipal bond market may negatively affect the value in municipal bonds. |
7 |
Changing interest rates may adversely affect the value of a fixed income investment. An increase in interest rates typically causes the value of bonds and other fixed
income securities to fall. |
8 |
Closed to new investments. |
9 |
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 Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment and does not incur expenses. |
4
Fund Performance (continued)
10 |
Investment income may be subject to certain state and local taxes, and depending on your tax status, the federal alternative minimum tax. Capital gains are not exempt
from federal income tax. |
11 |
The Bloomberg Barclays 10-Year Municipal Bond Index is the 10 year (8-12) component of
the Municipal bond index. It is a rules-based, market-value-weighted Index engineered for the tax-exempt bond market. The Index tracks general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, insured bonds, and pre-refunded bonds rated Baa3/BBB or higher by at least two of the ratings agencies: Moodys, S&P, Fitch. Unlike the Fund, the Bloomberg Barclays 10-Year Municipal
Bond Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment and does not incur expenses. |
12 |
The performance shown includes that of the predecessor Fund, the BNY Hamilton Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund, a series of BNY Hamilton Funds, Inc., which was
reorganized into the GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund, a series of AMG Funds, as of the close of business on November 7, 2008. |
13 |
The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Municipal Bond BAA Index is a subset of the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index with an index rating of Baa1, Baa2, or Baa3. The
Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index is a rules-based, market-value-weighted index engineered for the long-term, tax-exempt bond market. Unlike the Fund, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Municipal Bond Index is
unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
14 |
The Fund inception dates and returns for all periods beginning prior to November 7, 2008 reflects performance of the predecessor Fund, The BNY Hamilton Multi-Cap Equity Fund, a series of BNY Hamilton Funds, Inc. |
15 |
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. |
16 |
The Russell 2000® Index is composed of the 2,000 smallest stocks in the Russell 3000® Index and is widely regarded in the industry as the premier measure of small-cap stock performance. Unlike the Fund, The Russell 2000® Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
17 |
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. |
18 |
The Russell 2000® Growth Index measures the performance of the Russell 2,000 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. |
19 |
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. |
20 |
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. |
21 |
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. |
22 |
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. |
23 |
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.
|
24 |
The Russell 2500TM Index is composed of the 2,500 smallest stocks in the Russell 3000® Index and is widely regarded in the industry as the premier measure of small/mid cap stock performance. The Russell 2500TM Index replaced the
Russell 2000® Growth Index as the Funds primary benchmark on February 27, 2017 because the Investment Manager and the Subadviser believe the Russell 2500TM Index is more representative of the Funds current investment strategies. |

Credit quality ratings shown above reflect
the highest rating assigned by either Standard & Poors (S&P) or Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys). These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated N/R are not rated by either rating agency. Unrated
investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings are subject to change.
Because a funds strategy may result in
multiple investments in particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend on the performance of those sectors and may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across more sectors. For additional information on these and other
risk considerations, please see the Funds prospectus.
Any sectors, industries, or securities discussed should not be perceived as investment
recommendations. Mention of a specific security should not be considered a recommendation to buy or solicitation to sell that security. Specific securities mentioned in this report may have been sold from the Funds portfolio of investments by
the time you receive this report.

Credit quality ratings shown above reflect
the highest rating assigned by either Standard & Poors (S&P) or Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys). These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated N/R are not rated by either rating agency. Unrated
investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings are subject to change.
Because a funds strategy may result in
multiple investments in particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend on the performance of those sectors and may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across more sectors. For additional information on these and other
risk considerations, please see the Funds prospectus.
Any sectors, industries, or securities discussed should not be perceived as investment
recommendations. Mention of a specific security should not be considered a recommendation to buy or solicitation to sell that security. Specific securities mentioned in this report may have been sold from the Funds portfolio of investments by
the time you receive this report.

Credit quality ratings shown above reflect
the highest rating assigned by either Standard & Poors (S&P) or Moodys Investors Service, Inc. (Moodys). These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated N/R are not rated by either rating agency. Unrated
investments do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings are subject to change.
Because a funds strategy may result in
multiple investments in particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend on the performance of those sectors and may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across more sectors. For additional information on these and other
risk considerations, please see the Funds prospectus.
Any sectors, industries, or securities discussed should not be perceived as investment
recommendations. Mention of a specific security should not be considered a recommendation to buy or solicitation to sell that security. Specific securities mentioned in this report may have been sold from the Funds portfolio of investments by
the time you receive this report.

Because a funds strategy may result
in multiple investments in particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend on the performance of those sectors and may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across more sectors. For additional information on these and
other risk considerations, please see the Funds prospectus.
Any sectors, industries, or securities discussed should not be perceived as investment
recommendations. Mention of a specific security should not be considered a recommendation to buy or solicitation to sell that security. Specific securities mentioned in this report may have been sold from the Funds portfolio of investments by

Because a funds strategy may result
in multiple investments in particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend on the performance of those sectors and may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across more sectors. For additional information on these and
other risk considerations, please see the Funds prospectus.
Any sectors, industries, or securities discussed should not be perceived as investment
recommendations. Mention of a specific security should not be considered a recommendation to buy or solicitation to sell that security. Specific securities mentioned in this report may have been sold from the Funds portfolio of investments by

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
AMG Funds and AMG Funds II (the Trusts) are open-end management investment companies, organized as
Massachusetts business trusts and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). Currently, the Trusts consist of a number of different funds, each having distinct investment management objectives,
strategies, risks, and policies. Included in this report are AMG Funds: AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund (Municipal Bond), AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund (Municipal Enhanced), AMG GW&K Small Cap Core Fund
(Small Cap Core) and AMG GW&K Small/Mid Cap Fund (Small/Mid Cap)(formerly AMG GW&K Small Cap Growth Fund) and AMG Funds II: AMG GW&K Enhanced Core Bond Fund (Enhanced Core Bond), each a
Fund and collectively, the Funds.
Each Fund offers different classes of shares, which, effective October 1, 2016 were
renamed. Enhanced Core Bond, Municipal Bond, Municipal Enhanced and Small Cap Core previously offered Investor Class shares, Service Class shares, and Institutional Class shares which were renamed to Class N, Class S and
Class I, respectively; Small/Mid Cap previously offered Institutional Class shares which were renamed Class I. Effective February 27, 2017, Enhanced Core Bond Class I shares were renamed Class Z and Class S shares
were renamed Class I; Municipal Enhanced Yield and Small Cap Core added Class Z shares and Small/ Mid Cap added Class N and Class Z Shares. Effective June 23, 2017, Municipal Bond, Municipal Enhanced Yield and Small Cap Core
Class S shares were converted to Class I shares. Additionally, Enhanced Core Bond offers Class C shares. Small/Mid Cap commenced operations on June 30, 2015. 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.
Effective December 1, 2012, Class C shares of Enhanced Core Bond were closed to all new investors and will no longer be available for purchase by
existing shareholders. Shareholders who redeem Class C shares of the Fund will continue to be subject to the deferred sales charges described in the prospectus. Effective November 1, 2013, Small Cap Core was closed to new investors. Please
refer to Enhanced Core Bonds and Small Cap Cores current prospectus for additional information.
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 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 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 valuations provided by third-party pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trusts
(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 the 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 Boards valuation procedures, if the Investment Manager for 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 Trusts 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
44
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities with observable inputs)
Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds 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. 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 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 Trusts 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 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.
Small Cap Core 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 six months ended June 30, 2017, the impact
on the expense ratios, if any, was $11,797, less than 0.01%.
d. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Fund distributions resulting from either net investment income or realized net capital gains, if any, will normally be declared and paid at least annually in
December, as described in the Funds prospectus. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which
may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial statement purposes (U.S. GAAP). Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements
to reflect their tax character. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital. Temporary differences arise when
certain items of income, expense and gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax
45
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Permanent differences are due to
redesignation of dividends paid by the fund. Temporary differences are due to differences between book and tax treatment of losses for excise tax purposes and wash sales.
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, 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 Small Cap Cores and Small Cap Growths understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions
for the foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, Small Cap Core and Small Cap Growth 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 December 31, 2016, and 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 June 30, 2017, the following Fund had accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from securities transactions for federal income tax purposes
as shown in the following chart. These amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains, if any, for an unlimited time period.

As of June 30, 2017, Municipal Bond, Municipal Enhanced, Small Cap Core and Small/Mid Cap had no accumulated net realized
capital loss carryovers from securities transactions for federal income tax purposes. Should Municipal Bond, Municipal Enhanced, Small Cap Core and Small/Mid Cap incur net capital losses for the year ending December 31, 2017, such amounts may
be used to offset future realized capital gains, for an unlimited time period.
g. CAPITAL STOCK
The Trusts Declarations of Trust authorize 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. The cost of securities contributed to the Funds in connection with the issuance of shares is based on the valuation of those securities in accordance with the Funds
policy on investment valuation.

Commencement of operations was February 27, 2017. |
At June 30, 2017, certain unaffiliated shareholders of record, including omnibus accounts, individually or
collectively held greater than 10% of the net assets of the Funds as follows: Enhanced Core Bond - two own 39%; Municipal Bond - two own 69%; Municipal Enhanced - two own 83%; Small Cap Core - four own 78% and Small/Mid Cap - three own 96%.
Transactions by these shareholders may have a material impact on their respective Fund.
h. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND JOINT REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Funds may enter into third-party repurchase agreements for temporary cash management purposes and joint third-party 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 June 30, 2017, the market value of Repurchase Agreements outstanding for Enhanced Core Bond, Small Cap
Core and Small/Mid Cap were $118,595, $38,113,535 and $705,769, respectively.
i. DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS AND WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES
The Funds 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 Funds Schedules of Portfolio
Investments. With respect to purchase commitments, the Funds identify securities as segregated in their records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. 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.
2. AGREEMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
For each
of the Funds, the Trusts have 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 subadvisers for the Funds (subject to Board approval) and monitors each
49
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
subadvisers investment performance, security holdings and investment strategies. Each Funds
investment portfolio is managed by GW&K Investment Management, LLC (GW&K), who serves pursuant to a subadvisory agreement with the Investment Manager. AMG indirectly owns a majority interest in GW&K.
Investment management fees are paid directly by the Funds to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. The Funds investment management
fees were paid at the following annual rate of each Funds respective average daily net assets:

Effective October 1, 2016, Municipal Bond changed to a tiered management fee structure. Prior to October 1, 2016, the annual rate for Municipal Bonds investment management fee was 0.35% of the
Funds average daily net assets. |
** |
Prior to February 27, 2017, the annual rate for the investment management fees were 0.45%, 0.50%, 0.75% and 0.75% of the average daily net assets for Enhanced Core Bond, Municipal Enhanced, Small Cap Core and
Small/Mid Cap, respectively. |
The Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2018, to waive management fees
and/or reimburse fund expenses in order to limit total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest (including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody overdrafts), shareholder
servicing fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) of Enhanced Core Bond, Municipal Bond,
Municipal Enhanced, Small Cap Core and Small/Mid Cap to 0.48%, 0.34%, 0.59%, 0.90% and 0.85%, respectively, of each Funds average daily net assets subject to later reimbursement by the Funds in certain circumstances. Prior to February 27,
2017, the expense cap was 0.59%, 0.64%, 0.95% and 0.95% of the average daily net assets for Enhanced Core Bond, Municipal Enhanced, Small Cap Core and Small/Mid Cap, respectively. 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 Funds 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.
In general,
for a period of up to 36 months, the Investment Manager may recover from each Fund, fees waived and expenses paid pursuant to this contractual agreement, provided that such repayment would not cause the Funds total annual operating expenses
after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of the items noted in the parenthetical above) to exceed the contractual expense limitation amount.
At June 30, 2017, each Funds expiration of recoupment are as follows:

The Trusts, on behalf of the Funds, have 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 Funds prospectus. Effective October 1, 2016, each Fund pays a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.15% per annum of the Funds average daily net
assets for this service. Prior to October 1, 2016, Enhanced Core Bond, Municipal Bond, Municipal Enhanced, Small Cap Core and Small/Mid Cap paid an administration fee under a similar contract at an annual rate of 0.20%, 0.25%, 0.25%, 0.25% and
0.25%, respectively, of each Funds average daily net assets.
The Funds are distributed by AMG Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Investment Manager. The Distributor serves as the distributor and underwriter for each Fund and is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). Shares
of each Fund will be continuously offered and will be sold directly to prospective purchasers 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.
50
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The Trusts have adopted a distribution and service plan (the Plan) with respect to the Class N
shares of each Fund and Class C shares of Enhanced Core Bond, in accordance with the requirements of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and the requirements of the applicable rules of FINRA regarding asset
based sales charges. Pursuant to the Plan, each Fund may make payments to the Distributor for its expenditures in financing any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of each Funds Class N shares and Enhanced Core Bond
Class C shares and for maintenance and personal service provided to existing shareholders of that class. The Plan authorizes payments to the Distributors up to 0.25% and 1.00% annually of each Funds average daily net assets attributable
to Class N and Class C shares, respectively. 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 C shares or Class N shares for shareholder servicing may not exceed an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of each Funds shares of
that class owned by clients of such broker, dealer or financial intermediary.
For Enhanced Core Bonds Class I shares and for each of the
Class N and Class I shares of Municipal Bond, Municipal Enhanced and Small Cap Core, 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), banks, and trust companies who provide shareholder recordkeeping, account servicing and other
services. There are no shareholder servicing fees authorized for Class Z. The Class N and Class I shares may reimburse the Investment Manager for the actual amount incurred up to a maximum annual rate of each Classs average
daily net assets as shown in the table below.

The Board provides supervision of the affairs of the Trusts and other trusts within the AMG Funds family. The
Trustees of the Trusts 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) has granted an exemptive order that permits the Funds to lend and borrow money for certain temporary purposes directly to and from other eligible funds in the AMG Funds family. Participation in this interfund lending program is
voluntary for both the borrowing and lending funds, and an interfund loan is only made if it benefits each participating fund. The 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 six months ended June 30, 2017, the following Funds either
borrowed from or lent to other Funds in the AMG Funds family: Small Cap Core lent a maximum of $6,200,680 for five days earning interest in the amount of $414, and Municipal Enhanced lent $1,410,972 for one day earning interest in the amount of $68.
The interest amount is included in the Statement of Operations as interest income. Enhanced Core Bond borrowed $4,417,211 for one day paying interest of $2,274. The interest expense amount is included in the Statement of Operations as miscellaneous
expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, Municipal Bond and Small/Mid Cap Growth neither borrowed from nor lent to other Funds in the AMG Funds family. At June 30, 2017, the Funds had no interfund loans outstanding.

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
51
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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
June 30, 2017, the value of the securities loaned and cash collateral received, were as follows:

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Under each Trusts organizational documents, its trustees and officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their
duties to the Trusts. 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. MASTER NETTING AGREEMENTS
The Funds may
enter into master netting agreements with their counterparties for the securities lending program 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 security lending transactions, see Note 4.

Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (unaudited)
AMG GW&K Small Cap Core Fund, AMG GW&K Small/Mid Cap Fund (formerly AMG GW&K Small Cap Growth Fund),
AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund, AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund and AMG GW&K Enhanced Core Bond Fund: Approval of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements on June 28-29, 2017.
At an in-person meeting held on June 28-29, 2017, the Board of Trustees (the
Board or the Trustees) of each of AMG Funds and AMG Funds II (each, a Trust and collectively, the Trusts), and separately a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the
Trusts (the Independent Trustees), approved (i) the Investment Management Agreement, as amended pursuant to letter agreements at any time prior to the date of the meeting, with AMG Funds LLC (the Investment Manager) and
each Trust for each of AMG GW&K Small Cap Core Fund, AMG GW&K Small/Mid Cap Fund (formerly AMG GW&K Small Cap Growth Fund), AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund, AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund and AMG GW&K Enhanced Core Bond
Fund (each, a Fund, and collectively, the Funds) and separately each of Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 dated July 1, 2015, and Amendment No. 3 dated October 1, 2016, to the Investment Management
Agreement with AMG Funds II and separately each of Amendment No. 1 dated July 1, 2015, and Amendment No. 2 dated October 1, 2016, to the Investment Management Agreement with AMG Funds (collectively, the Investment
Management Agreement) and (ii) the Subadvisory Agreements, as amended at any time prior to the date of the meeting, with respect to each Fund (collectively, the Subadvisory Agreements). The Independent Trustees were separately
represented by independent legal counsel in connection with their consideration of the approval of these agreements. In considering the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed a variety of materials
relating to each Fund, the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, including comparative performance, fee and expense information for an appropriate peer group of similar mutual funds for each Fund (each, a Peer
Group), performance information for the relevant benchmark index for each Fund (each, a Fund
Benchmark) and, as to all other matters, other information provided to them on a periodic basis throughout the year, as well as information provided in connection with the meetings of June 28-29, 2017,
regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser under their respective agreements. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees: (a) reviewed the foregoing information with their
independent legal counsel and with management; (b) received materials from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements; and
(c) met with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.
NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees reviewed information relating to the Investment
Managers operations and personnel. Among other things, the Investment Manager provided financial information, biographical information on its supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure.
The Trustees also took into account information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Investment Manager in Board meetings relating to the performance of its duties with respect to the Funds and the Trustees knowledge of
the Investment Managers management and the quality of the performance of the Investment Managers duties under the Investment Management Agreement and Administration Agreement. In the course of their deliberations regarding the Investment
Manager, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the extent and quality of the Investment Managers oversight of the operation and management of the Funds; (b) the quality of the Investment Managers oversight of the
performance by the Subadviser of its
portfolio management duties; (c) the Investment Managers ability to supervise the Funds other
service providers; and (d) the Investment Managers compliance program. The Trustees also took into account that, in performing its functions under the Investment Management Agreements and supervising the Subadviser, the Investment
Manager: performs periodic detailed analyses and reviews of the performance by the Subadviser of its obligations to each Fund, including without limitation, analysis and review of portfolio and other compliance matters and review of the
Subadvisers investment performance with respect to each Fund; prepares and presents periodic reports to the Board regarding the investment performance of the Subadviser and other information regarding the Subadviser, at such times and in such
forms as the Board may reasonably request; reviews and considers any changes in the personnel of the Subadviser responsible for performing the Subadvisers obligations and makes appropriate reports to the Board; reviews and considers any
changes in the ownership or senior management of the 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 the Subadviser; assists the Board and management of the Trusts 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 the Subadviser or the replacement of the Subadviser, including at the request of the Board; identifies potential successors to or replacements of the
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
54
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
Board shall reasonably request consistent with the Investment Management Agreements and applicable law. 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 Management Agreements and the Investment Managers undertaking to maintain contractual expense limitations for the Funds. The Trustees also considered the Investment Managers risk management
processes.
The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Subadvisers financial condition, operations and personnel and the investment
philosophy, strategies and techniques (its Investment Strategy) used in managing each Fund. Among other things, the Trustees reviewed biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, information regarding
the Subadvisers organizational and management structure and the Subadvisers brokerage policies and practices. The Trustees considered specific information provided regarding the experience of the individuals at the Subadviser with
portfolio management responsibility for the Funds, including the information set forth in each Funds prospectus and statement of additional information. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees evaluated, among other things:
(a) the services rendered by the Subadviser in the past; (b) the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisers personnel; and (c) the Subadvisers compliance program. The Trustees also took into account the financial
condition of the Subadviser with respect to its ability to provide the services required under each Subadvisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered the Subadvisers risk management processes.
PERFORMANCE.
As noted above, the Board considered each
Funds net performance during relevant time periods as compared to the Funds Peer Group and Fund Benchmark and considered the gross performance of the Fund as compared to the Subadvisers
relevant performance composite that utilizes the same investment strategy and approach and noted that the Board
reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information about each Funds performance results and portfolio composition, as well as the Subadvisers Investment Strategy. The Board noted the Investment Managers expertise and resources in
monitoring the performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance of the Subadviser. The Board was mindful of the Investment Managers attention to monitoring the Subadvisers performance with respect to the Funds and its
discussions with management regarding the factors that contributed to the performance of the Funds.
With respect to AMG GW&K Small Cap Core Fund,
among other information relating to the Funds performance, the Trustees noted that the Funds performance for Class N shares (which share class has the earliest inception date 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, above, above
and above, respectively, the median performance of the Peer Group and below, below, above and above, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index. The Trustees
took into account managements discussion of the Funds performance, including the reasons for the Funds recent underperformance relative to the Peer Group and Fund Benchmark. The Trustees noted that Class N shares of the Fund
ranked in the top quintile relative to its Peer Group for the 10-year period and in the second quartile relative to its Peer Group for the 3-year and 5-year periods. The Trustees concluded that the Funds overall performance has been satisfactory.
With respect to
AMG GW&K Small/Mid Cap Fund, among other information relating to the Funds performance, the Trustees noted that the Funds performance for Class I 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 period ended March 31, 2017 and for the period from the Funds inception on June 30, 2015 through March 31, 2017 was
below the median performance for the Peer Group and below the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Russell
2500® Index. The Trustees took into account managements discussion of the Funds performance, including the reasons for the Funds underperformance and any actions being taken
to address such performance. The Trustees noted that Class I shares of the Fund ranked in the third quintile relative to its Peer Group for the 1-year period. The Trustees also took into account the
Funds relatively short performance history and the fact that the Fund made recent changes to its principal investment strategy. The Trustees concluded that the Funds performance is being addressed.
With respect to AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund, among other information relating to the Funds performance, the Trustees noted that the
Funds performance for Class I 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, above, below and above, respectively, the median performance of
the Peer Group and below, above, above and above, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Municipal Bond BAA Index. The Trustees took into account managements discussion of the Funds performance,
including the reasons for the Funds recent underperformance. The Trustees noted that the Funds longer-term performance results ranked strongly relative to the Fund Benchmark and that Class I shares of the Fund ranked in the top
quartile relative to its Peer Group for the 10-year period and in the second quintile relative to its Peer Group for the 3-year period. The Trustees concluded that the
Funds overall performance has been satisfactory.
With respect to AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund, among other information relating to the
Funds performance, the Trustees noted that the Funds 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
55
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
period from the Funds inception on June 30, 2009 through March 31, 2017 was below, above, above
and above, respectively, the median performance of the Peer Group and below the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 10-Year Municipal Bond Index. The Trustees took into account
managements discussion of the Funds performance, including the reasons for the Funds underperformance relative to its Peer Group and the Fund Benchmark. The Trustees also noted that Class I shares of the Fund ranked in the top
quintile relative to its Peer Group since inception and in the top quartile relative to its Peer Group for the 3-year and 5-year periods. The Trustees concluded that the
Funds overall performance has been satisfactory in light of all factors considered.
With respect to AMG GW&K Enhanced Core Bond Fund, among
other information relating to the Funds performance, the Trustees noted that the Funds performance for Class Z shares (which share class has one of the earliest inception dates and the largest amount of assets of all the share
classes of the Fund with that inception date) for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year
periods ended March 31, 2017 was below, below, below and above, respectively, the median performance of the Peer Group and above, below, below and above, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate
Bond Index. The Trustees took into account managements discussion of the Funds performance, including its more recent improved performance relative to the Fund Benchmark. The Trustees noted that Class Z shares of the Fund ranked in
the second quintile relative to its Peer Group for the 10-year period. The Trustees concluded that the Funds overall performance has been satisfactory in light of all factors considered.
ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY FEES AND PROFITABILITY.
In
considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee payable to the Investment Manager, the Trustees 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 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 Administration Agreement with the Funds. 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 from the Subadviser to the Investment Manager, and any other payments made or to be made from the Investment Manager to the Subadviser. The Trustees also considered managements 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.
In considering the cost of
services to be provided by the Investment Manager under each Investment Management Agreement and the profitability to the Investment Manager of its relationship with the Funds, the Trustees noted the undertaking by the Investment Manager to maintain
contractual expense limitations for the Funds. The Board also took into account managements discussion of the advisory fee structure, and, as noted above, the services the Investment Manager provides in performing its functions under each
Investment Management Agreement and supervising the Subadviser. 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 fee at this time. Also with respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that
as a Funds 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 considering the reasonableness of the subadvisory fees payable by the Investment Manager to the Subadviser, the Trustees reviewed information regarding the
cost of providing subadvisory services to each of the Funds and the resulting profitability to the Subadviser from these relationships. The Trustees noted that, because the Subadviser is an affiliate of the Investment Manager, a portion of the
Subadvisers 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. The Board also took into account
managements discussion of the subadvisory fee structure, and the services the Subadviser provides in performing its functions under each Subadvisory Agreement. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the
Subadviser is reasonable and that the Subadviser is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the advisory or subadvisory fees at this time. Also with respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted
that as a Funds 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.
With respect to AMG GW&K Small Cap Core Fund, the Trustees noted that the Funds 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 lower than the average for the Funds Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact
that, effective February 27, 2017, the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2018, to lower the Funds
56
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
contractual expense limitation from 0.95% to 0.90% of the Funds net annual operating expenses (subject to
certain excluded expenses). The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser (which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), the foregoing expense
limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Funds advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
With respect to AMG GW&K Small/Mid Cap Fund, the Trustees noted that the Funds 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 lower than the average for the Funds Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact
that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2018, to limit the Funds net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.85%.The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and
quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser (which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager and the
Subadviser, the Funds advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
With respect to AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund, the Trustees noted
that the Funds 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 higher and
lower, respectively, than the average for the Funds Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that, effective February 27, 2017, the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2018, to lower the Funds
contractual expense limitation from 0.64% to 0.59% of the Funds net
annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses). The Board also took into account
managements discussion of the Funds expenses and competitiveness with 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
(which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Funds advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
With respect to AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund, the Trustees noted that the Funds 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 lower than the average for the Funds Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact
that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2018, to limit the Funds net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.34%. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and
quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser (which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager and the
Subadviser, the Funds advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
With respect to AMG GW&K Enhanced Core Bond Fund, the Trustees noted that
the Funds 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 lower and higher,
respectively, than the average for the Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that, effective February 27, 2017, the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2018, to lower the Funds contractual
expense
limitation from 0.59% to 0.48% of the Funds net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded
expenses). The Trustees also took into account managements discussion of the Funds expenses and competitiveness with 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 (which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Funds advisory
and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
* * * *
After consideration of the foregoing, the Trustees also reached the following conclusions (in addition to the conclusions discussed above) regarding the
Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements: (a) the Investment Manager has demonstrated that it possesses the resources and capability to perform its duties under each Investment Management Agreement; (b) the Subadviser has the
resources to perform its duties under each Subadvisory Agreement and is qualified to manage each Funds assets in accordance with its investment objectives and policies; and (c) the Investment Manager and 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 each Investment Management 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 Management Agreement for each Fund and the Subadvisory
Agreements for each Fund.

Semi-Annual ReportJune 30, 2017 (unaudited)
Nothing contained herein is to be considered an offer, sale or solicitation of an offer to buy shares of any series of the AMG
Funds Family of mutual funds. Such offering is made only by prospectus, which includes details as to offering price and other material information.
About Your Funds Expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include
sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is
intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and
held for the entire period as indicated below.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the following table provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line,
together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the
first line under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second
line of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Funds
actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and
other funds by comparing this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please
note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful
in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

The performance data shown represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Current
performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investors shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Investors should carefully consider the Funds investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. For performance information
through the most recent month end, current net asset values per share for the Fund and other information, please call (800) 835-3879 or visit our website at www.amgfunds.com for a free prospectus. Read it
carefully before investing or sending money.

The date reflects the inception date of the Fund, not the index. |
1 |
Total return equals income yield plus share price change and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns are net of fees and may
reflect offsets of Fund expenses as described in the prospectus. No adjustment has been made for taxes payable by shareholders on their reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized.
The listed returns on the Funds are net of expenses and based on the published NAV as of June 30, 2017. All returns are in U.S. dollars ($). |
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 |
The Fund invests in growth stocks, which may be more sensitive to market movements because their prices reflect future investor expectations rather than just current
profits. |
4 |
Effective February 27, 2017, Class S and Class I were renamed Class N and Class Z, respectively. |
5 |
The Russell 2000® Growth Index measures the performance of those 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. |
6 |
Mid capitalization securities are subject to market, liquidity and information risk. Mid-size companies may underperform, as compared to securities of larger companies, and may
also pose greater risk due to narrower product lines, fewer financial resources, less depth in management or a smaller trading market for their stocks. Also, growth stocks may be more volatile than other types of stocks. |
7 |
The Russell Midcap® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell Midcap companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Unlike the Fund, the Russell Midcap® Growth Index is unmanaged, is not available for
investment, and does not incur expenses. |
8 |
The Fund is subject to the risks associated with investments in emerging markets, such as erratic earnings patterns, economic and political instability, changing exchange controls, limitations on repatriation of foreign
capital, and changes in local government attitudes toward private investment, possibly leading to nationalization or confiscation of investor assets. |
9 |
Investments in international securities are subject to certain risks of overseas investing including currency fluctuation and changes in political and economic conditions, which could result in significant market
fluctuations. The Fund is subject to currency risk resulting from fluctuations in exchange rates that may affect the total loss or gain on a non-U.S. Dollar security when converted back to U.S. Dollars.
|
10 |
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. |
11 |
The MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index covers all investable small-cap securities with a market capitalization below that of the companies in the MSCI Standard Indices from the following
21 developed market country indexes: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Unlike the Fund, the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment and does not incur expenses. All MSCI data is provided as is. The products described herein are not sponsored or endorsed and have not been
reviewed or passed on by MSCI. In no event shall MSCI, its affiliates, or any MSCI data provider have any liability of any kind in connection with the MSCI data or the products described herein. Copying or redistributing the MSCI data is strictly

Because a funds strategy may result
in multiple investments in particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend on the performance of those sectors and may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across more sectors. For additional information on these and
other risk considerations, please see the Funds prospectus.
Any sectors, industries, or securities discussed should not be perceived as investment
recommendations. Mention of a specific security should not be considered a recommendation to buy or solicitation to sell that security. Specific securities mentioned in this report may have been sold from the Funds portfolio of investments by
the time you receive this report.

Because a funds strategy may result
in multiple investments in particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend on the performance of those sectors and may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across more sectors. For additional information on these and
other risk considerations, please see the Funds prospectus.
Any sectors, industries, or securities discussed should not be perceived as investment
recommendations. Mention of a specific security should not be considered a recommendation to buy or solicitation to sell that security. Specific securities mentioned in this report may have been sold from the Funds portfolio of investments by

performance may depend on the performance of those sectors and may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across more sectors. For additional information on these and other risk considerations, please see the Funds prospectus.
Any sectors, industries, or securities discussed should not be perceived as investment recommendations. Mention of a specific security should not be considered
a recommendation to buy or solicitation to sell that security. Specific securities mentioned in this report may have been sold from the Funds portfolio of investments by the time you receive this report.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
AMG Funds (the Trust) is an open-end management investment company, organized as a Massachusetts business
trust, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). Currently, the Trust consists of a number of different funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks, and
policies. Included in this report are: AMG TimesSquare Small Cap Growth Fund (Small Cap), AMG TimesSquare Mid Cap Growth Fund (Mid Cap) and AMG TimesSquare International Small Cap Fund (International Small Cap),
each a Fund and collectively the Funds.
Each Fund offers different classes of shares, which, effective October 1, 2016, were
renamed. Each Fund previously offered Institutional Class shares and Premier Class shares which were renamed to Class I and Class S, respectively. Effective February 27, 2017, Class I and Class S shares were
renamed to Class Z and Class N, respectively, and each Fund added Class I 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.
Small Cap is closed to new investors. Please refer to a
current prospectus for additional information.
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 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 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 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 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 the AMG Funds LLC (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
Boards 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 Trusts 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
29
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities with observable inputs)
Level 3
inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds 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 Fund becomes aware of the
ex-dividend date, except for Korean securities where dividends are recorded on confirmation date. 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 gains and losses, the common expenses of each Fund, and certain Fund level expense
reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of each Fund.
The 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 six months ended June 30, 2017, the impact on the expense ratios, if any, were
as follows: Small Cap - $52,047 or 0.01% and Mid Cap - $117,836 or 0.01%.
d. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Fund distributions resulting from either net investment income or realized net capital gains, if any, will normally be declared and paid at least annually in
December, as described in the Funds prospectus. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which
may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial statement purposes (U.S. GAAP). Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements
to reflect their tax character. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital. Temporary differences arise when
certain items of income, expense and gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Permanent differences are due to a net operating loss,
partnerships, redemptions in kind, foreign currency and a reclassification of short-term gain dividends paid to ordinary income. Temporary differences are due to differing treatments for losses deferred due to excise tax regulations, mark-to market on passive foreign investment companies, partnerships, non-taxable dividends received and wash sales.
30
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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, 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 Funds 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 December 31, 2016, 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 June 30, 2017, the Funds had no accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from securities transactions for federal income tax purposes.
Should the Funds incur net capital losses for the year ended December 31, 2017, such amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains, for an unlimited time period.
g. CAPITAL STOCK
The Trusts 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. The cost of securities contributed to the Funds in
connection with the issuance of shares is based on the valuation of those securities in accordance with the Funds policy on investment valuation. International Small Cap 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 60 days of the purchase of those shares. For six months ended June 30, 2017, International Small Cap had redemption fees amounting to $16,166. This amount is netted
against the cost of shares repurchased in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, Small Cap transferred
securities and cash to certain shareholders in connection with redemptions in-kind transactions in the amount of $24,588,173. For the purposes of U.S. GAAP, these transactions were treated as a sale of
securities and the resulting gains and losses were recognized based on the market value of the securities on the date of the transfer. For tax purposes, no gains or losses were recognized.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
At June 30, 2017, certain unaffiliated shareholders of record, including omnibus accounts, individually
or collectively held greater than 10% of the net assets of the Funds as follows: Small Cap - three own 51%; Mid Cap - three own 66%; International Small Cap - five own 80%. Transactions by these shareholders may have a material impact on their
respective Funds.
h. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND JOINT REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Funds may enter into third-party repurchase agreements for temporary cash management purposes and joint third-party 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
June 30, 2017, the market value of Repurchase Agreements outstanding for Small Cap, Mid Cap and International Small Cap were $125,130,950, $39,382,908 and $17,807,885, respectively.
i. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The books and records of
the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of investments, assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon current foreign exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign
investments, income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based on currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions represent:
(1) foreign exchange gains and losses from the sale and holdings of foreign currencies; (2) gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions and forward foreign currency exchange contracts; and
(3) gains and losses from the difference between amounts of interest and dividends recorded and the amounts actually received.
The Funds do not
isolate the net realized and unrealized gain or loss resulting from changes in exchange rates from the fluctuations in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
j. FOREIGN SECURITIES
The 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 Funds investments in emerging market countries are exposed to additional risks. A Funds 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 subadvisers for
the Funds (subject to Board approval) and monitors each subadvisers investment performance, security holdings and investment strategies. Each Funds investment portfolio is managed by TimesSquare Capital Management, LLC
(TimesSquare) who serves pursuant to a subadvisory agreement with the Investment Manager. AMG indirectly owns a majority interest in TimesSquare.
Investment management fees are paid directly by the Funds to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. Effective October 1, 2016, the
Funds investment management fees are paid at the following annual rate of each Funds respective average daily net assets:
|
|
|
|
|
Small Cap |
|
|
0.85 |
% |
Mid Cap |
|
|
0.85 |
% |
International Small Cap |
|
|
0.75 |
% |
Prior to October 1, 2016, the annual rate for the investment management fees was 1.00%, 1.00% and 0.90% of the
Funds average daily net assets of Small Cap, Mid Cap and International Small Cap, respectively.
The Investment Manager has contractually agreed,
through at least May 1, 2018, to waive management fees and/or reimburse fund expenses in order to limit total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest (including interest incurred
in connection with bank and custody overdrafts), shareholder servicing fees, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) to the following percentages of Small Cap, Mid Cap and
International Small Cap Funds average daily net assets subject to later reimbursement by the Funds in certain circumstances:

The contractual expense limitation may only be terminated in the event the Investment Manager or a successor ceases to be the
investment manager of the Fund or a successor fund, by mutual agreement between the Investment Manager and the Board, or in the event of the Funds 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.
In general, for a period of up to 36 months, the Investment Manager may
recover from each Fund, fees waived and expenses paid pursuant to this contractual agreement, provided that such repayment would not cause the Funds total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of the
items noted in the parenthetical above) to exceed the contractual expense limitation amount.
At June 30, 2017, International Small Caps

The Investment Manager has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in consideration of shareholder servicing fees that
it has received from JPMorgan Distribution Services, Inc., with respect to short-term cash investments Mid Cap has made in the JPMorgan Liquid Assets Money Market Fund, Capital Shares and JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund. For the six
months ended June 30, 2017, the investment management fee for Mid Cap was reduced by $6,805 or less than 0.01%.
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 Funds prospectus. Effective
October 1, 2016, each Fund pays a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.15% per annum of the Funds average daily net assets for this service. Prior to October 1, 2016, the Investment Manager was reimbursed by the Funds
subadviser for providing a variety of administrative services to the Funds.
Effective July 1, 2017, the Investment Manager has contractually agreed,
through at least June 30, 2018, to waive the International Small Caps administration fee by 0.01%, from 0.15% to 0.14%. The waiver may only be
terminated in the event the Investment Manager or a successor ceases to be the administrator of the Fund or a
successor fund, by mutual agreement between the Investment Manager and the Board, or in the event of the Funds 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.
The Funds are distributed by AMG Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Investment Manager. The Distributor serves as the distributor and underwriter for each Fund and is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). Shares of each Fund will be
continuously offered and will be sold directly to prospective purchasers 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.
Effective October 1, 2016, for Class N shares and effective February 27, 2017, for Class I shares of each Fund, 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), banks, and trust companies that provide shareholder recordkeeping, account servicing and other services. There are no shareholder servicing fees authorized for Class Z. Class N and Class I shares may reimburse
the Investment Manager for the actual amount incurred up to a maximum annual rate of the Classs average daily net assets as shown in the table below.

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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) has granted an exemptive order that permits the
Funds to lend and borrow money for certain temporary purposes directly to and from other eligible funds in the AMG Funds family. Participation in this interfund lending program is voluntary for both the borrowing and lending funds, and an interfund
loan is only made if it benefits each participating fund. The 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 six months ended June 30, 2017, the following Funds either borrowed from or lent to other funds in the AMG Funds family: Small
Cap lent $3,401,279 for two days earning interest of $328, Mid Cap lent $2,203,352 for four days earning interest of $330, and International Small Cap lent a maximum of $1,099,360 for two days earning interest of $108. The interest amount is
included in the Statement of Operations as interest income. International Small Cap borrowed a maximum of $22,802,753 for two days paying interest of $1,242. The interest expense amount is included in the Statement of Operations as miscellaneous
expense. At June 30, 2017, the Funds had no interfund loans outstanding.

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 June 30, 2017, the value of the securities loaned and cash collateral received, were as follows.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Under the Trusts 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. MASTER NETTING AGREEMENTS
The Funds may enter
into master netting agreements with their counterparties for the securities lending program 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 transactions, see Note 4.

7. REGULATORY UPDATES
On October 13, 2016, the SEC amended existing rules intended to modernize reporting and disclosure of information. These amendments relate to Regulation S-X which sets forth the form and content of financial statements. Management has evaluated the implications of adopting these amendments and has determined there is no material impact on the financial statements
and accompanying notes.
8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds have determined that no material events or transactions occurred through the issuance date of the Funds financial statements, which require an
additional disclosure in or adjustment of the Funds financial statements.

Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements
(unaudited)
AMG TimesSquare Mid Cap Growth Fund, AMG TimesSquare Small Cap Growth Fund and AMG TimesSquare International
Small Cap Fund: Approval of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements on June 28-29, 2017.
At an in-person meeting held on June 28-29, 2017, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees), and separately a majority of the Trustees who are not
interested persons of the Trust (the Independent Trustees), approved (i) the Investment Management Agreement, as amended pursuant to letter agreements at any time prior to the date of the meeting, with AMG Funds LLC (the
Investment Manager) for each of AMG TimesSquare Mid Cap Growth Fund, AMG TimesSquare Small Cap Growth Fund and AMG TimesSquare International Small Cap Fund (each, a Fund, and collectively, the Funds) and
separately each of Amendment No. 1 thereto dated July 1, 2015, and Amendment No. 2 thereto dated October 1, 2016 (collectively, the Investment Management Agreement) and (ii) the Subadvisory Agreement, as amended
at any time prior to the date of the meeting, with the Subadviser with respect to each Fund (collectively, the Subadvisory Agreements). The Independent Trustees were separately represented by independent legal counsel in connection with
their consideration of the approval of these agreements. In considering the Investment Management Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed a variety of materials relating to each Fund, the Investment Manager and the Subadviser,
including comparative performance, fee and expense information for an appropriate peer group of similar mutual funds for each Fund (each, a Peer Group), performance information for the relevant benchmark index for each Fund (each, a
Fund Benchmark) and, as to all other matters, other information provided to them on a periodic basis throughout the year, as well as information provided in connection with the meetings of June
28-29, 2017, regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser under their respective agreements. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees:
(a) reviewed the foregoing
information with their independent legal counsel and with management; (b) received materials from their
independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement; and (c) met with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no
representatives of management were present.
NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees reviewed information relating to the Investment
Managers operations and personnel. Among other things, the Investment Manager provided financial information, biographical information on its supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure.
The Trustees also took into account information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Investment Manager in Board meetings relating to the performance of its duties with respect to the Funds and the Trustees knowledge of
the Investment Managers management and the quality of the performance of the Investment Managers duties under the Investment Management Agreement and Administration Agreement. In the course of their deliberations regarding the Investment
Manager, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the extent and quality of the Investment Managers oversight of the operation and management of the Funds; (b) the quality of the Investment Managers oversight of the
performance by the Subadviser of its portfolio management duties; (c) the Investment Managers ability to supervise the Funds other service providers; and (d) the Investment Managers compliance program. The Trustees also
took into account that, in performing its functions under the Investment Management Agreement and supervising the Subadviser, the Investment Manager: performs periodic detailed analyses and reviews of the performance by the Subadviser of its
obligations to each Fund, including without limitation, analysis and review of portfolio and
other compliance matters and review of the Subadvisers investment performance with respect to each Fund;
prepares and presents periodic reports to the Board regarding the investment performance of the Subadviser and other information regarding the Subadviser, at such times and in such forms as the Board may reasonably request; reviews and considers any
changes in the personnel of the Subadviser responsible for performing the Subadvisers obligations and makes appropriate reports to the Board; reviews and considers any changes in the ownership or senior management of the 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 the Subadviser; assists the Board and
management of the Trust in developing and reviewing information with respect to the initial approval of the Subadvisory Agreement and annual consideration of the Subadvisory Agreement thereafter; prepares recommendations with respect to the
continued retention of the Subadviser or the replacement of the Subadviser, including at the request of the Board; identifies potential successors to or replacements of the 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 Management Agreement and
applicable law. 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 Management Agreement and the Investment Managers undertaking to maintain a contractual expense limitation for each Fund. The Trustees also considered the Investment Managers
risk management processes.
37
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Subadvisers financial condition, operations and
personnel and the investment philosophy, strategies and techniques (its Investment Strategy) used in managing each Fund. Among other things, the Trustees reviewed biographical information on portfolio management and other professional
staff, information regarding the Subadvisers organizational and management structure and the Subadvisers brokerage policies and practices. The Trustees considered specific information provided regarding the experience of the individuals
at the Subadviser with portfolio management responsibility for each Fund, including the information set forth in the Funds prospectus and statement of additional information. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees evaluated, among
other things: (a) the services rendered by the Subadviser in the past; (b) the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisers personnel; and (c) the Subadvisers compliance program. The Trustees also took into account the
financial condition of the Subadviser with respect to its ability to provide the services required under the Subadvisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered the Subadvisers risk management processes.
PERFORMANCE.
As noted above, the Board considered each
Funds net performance during relevant time periods as compared to the Funds Peer Group and Fund Benchmark and considered the gross performance of the Fund as compared to the Subadvisers 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 Funds performance results and portfolio composition, as well as the Subadvisers Investment Strategy. The
Board noted the Investment Managers expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance of the Subadviser. The Board was mindful of the Investment Managers attention to monitoring the
Subadvisers performance with respect to the Funds and its discussions with management regarding the
factors that contributed to the performance of the Funds.
With respect to AMG TimesSquare Mid Cap Growth Fund, among other information relating to the
Funds performance, the Trustees noted that the Funds performance for Class Z shares (which share class has 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, above, above and above, respectively, the median performance
for the Peer Group and above, below, below and above, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Russell® Midcap Growth Index. The Trustees took into account managements
discussion of the Funds performance, including the reasons for the Funds recent underperformance relative to its Peer Group. The Trustees also took into account the fact that Class Z shares of the Fund ranked in the second quintile
relative to its Peer Group for the 5-year and 10-year periods and in the second quartile relative to its Peer Group for the
3-year period. The Trustees concluded that the Funds overall performance has been satisfactory.
With
respect to AMG TimesSquare Small Cap Growth Fund, among other information relating to the Funds performance, the Trustees noted that the Funds performance for Class Z shares (which share class has 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, below, above and above, respectively, the median performance for the Peer Group and below, below, below and above, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Russell 2000® Growth Index. The Trustees took into account managements discussion of the Funds performance, including the reasons for the Funds more recent underperformance relative to its
Peer Group and Fund Benchmark. The Trustees noted that Class Z shares of the Fund ranked in the top decile relative to its Peer Group for the 10-year period, in the
second quintile relative to its Peer Group for the 5-year period, and in
the third quintile relative to its Peer Group for the 3-year period. The Trustees concluded that the Funds overall performance has been satisfactory.
With respect to AMG TimesSquare International Small Cap Fund, among other information relating to the Funds performance, the Trustees noted that the
Funds performance for Class Z shares (which share class has the largest amount of assets of all the share classes of the Fund) for the 1-year and 3-year
periods ended March 31, 2017 and for the period from the Funds inception on January 2, 2013 through March 31, 2017 was above the median performance for the Peer Group and below, above and above, respectively, the performance of
the Fund Benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Small Cap Index. The Trustees noted that Class Z shares of the Fund ranked in the top decile relative to its Peer Group for the 3-year period and the period from the
Funds inception through March 31, 2017. The Trustees concluded that the Funds performance has been satisfactory.
ADVISORY AND
SUBADVISORY FEES AND PROFITABILITY.
In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee payable to the Investment Manager, the Trustees 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 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 from the Subadviser to
38
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
the Investment Manager, and any other payments made or to be made from the Investment Manager to the Subadviser.
The Trustees also considered managements discussion of the current asset level of each Fund, and the impact on profitability of both the current asset levels and any future growth of assets of the Funds.
In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Investment Manager under the Investment Management Agreement and the profitability to the Investment
Manager of its relationship with each Fund, the Trustees noted the undertaking by the Investment Manager to maintain contractual expense limitations for the Funds. The Board also took into account managements discussion of the advisory fee
structure, and, as noted above, the services the Investment Manager provides in performing its functions under the Investment Management Agreement and supervising the Subadviser. 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 fee at this time. Also with respect to economies of scale, the Trustees
noted that as a Funds 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 considering the reasonableness of the subadvisory fees payable by the Investment Manager to the Subadviser, the Trustees reviewed information regarding the
cost to the Subadviser of providing subadvisory services to each Fund and the resulting profitability from the relationships. The Trustees noted that, because the Subadviser is an affiliate of the Investment Manager, a portion of the
Subadvisers 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. The Board also took into account
managements discussion of the subadvisory fee structure, and the services the
Subadviser provides in performing its functions under the Subadvisory Agreement. Based on the foregoing, the
Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Subadviser is reasonable and that the Subadviser is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the advisory or subadvisory fees at this time. Also with
respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that as a Funds 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.
With respect to AMG TimesSquare Mid Cap Growth Fund, the Trustees noted that the Funds 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 Funds Peer Group. The Trustees took
into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2018, to limit the Funds net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 1.19% for Class Z shares, 1.39% for
Class N shares and 1.34% for Class I shares. The Trustees took into account managements discussion of the Funds 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 (which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the
Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Funds advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
With respect to AMG TimesSquare Small Cap Growth
Fund, the Trustees noted that the Funds 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 higher and lower, respectively, than the average for the Funds Peer
Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through
May 1, 2018, to limit the Funds net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 1.05% for Class Z shares, 1.25% for Class N shares and 1.20% for Class I shares. The Trustees took into account
managements discussion of the Funds 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 (which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Funds advisory and subadvisory fees are
reasonable.
With respect to AMG TimesSquare International Small Cap Fund, the Trustees noted that the Funds 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 lower than the average for the Funds Peer Group. The Trustees
took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2018, to limit the Funds net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 1.05%. The Trustees concluded that, in light
of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser (which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the
Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Funds advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
* * * *
After consideration of the foregoing, the Trustees also reached the following conclusions (in addition to the conclusions discussed above) regarding the
Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements: (a) the Investment Manager has
39
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
demonstrated that it possesses the resources and capability to perform its duties under the Investment
Management Agreement; (b) the Subadviser has the resources to perform its duties under the Subadvisory Agreement and is qualified to manage each Funds assets in accordance with its investment objectives and policies; and (c) the
Investment Manager and 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 Management Agreement and the 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
Management and the Subadvisory Agreements for each Fund.

AMG Managers Skyline Special Equities Fund
Semi-Annual ReportJune 30, 2017 (unaudited)
Nothing contained herein is to be considered an offer, sale or solicitation of an offer to buy shares of any series of the AMG
Funds family of mutual funds. Such offering is made only by prospectus, which includes details as to offering price and other material information.
About Your Funds Expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include
sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is
intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and
held for the entire period as indicated below.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the following table provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line,
together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the
first line under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second
line of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Funds
actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and
other funds by comparing this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please
note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful
in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

The performance data shown represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Current
performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investors shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Investors should carefully consider the Funds investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. For performance information
through the most recent month end, current net asset values per share for the Fund and other information, please call (800) 835-3879 or visit our website at www.amgfunds.com for a free prospectus. Read it
carefully before investing or sending money.

Date reflects the inception date of the Fund, not the index. |
1 |
Total return equals income yield plus share price change and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns are net of fees and may
reflect offsets of Fund expenses as described in the prospectus. No adjustment has been made for taxes payable by shareholders on their reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized.
The listed returns on the Fund are net of expenses and based on the published NAV as of June 30, 2017. All returns are in U.S. dollars ($). |
2 |
From time to time, the Funds advisor has waived its fees and/or absorbed Fund expenses, which has resulted in higher returns. |
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 |
Companies that are in similar businesses may be similarly affected by particular economic or market events; to the extent the Fund has substantial holdings within a
particular sector, the risks associated with that sector increase. |
5 |
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.
|
6 |
Effective after the close of business on December 31, 2007, the Fund was reorganized into the AMG Managers Skyline Special Equities Fund, a series of AMG Funds.
The returns shown include the performance of the predecessor Fund. |
7 |
The Russell 2000® Value Index is an unmanaged, market-value weighted, value-oriented index comprised of small
stocks that have relatively low price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. Unlike the Fund, the Russell
2000® Value Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
8 |
The Russell 2000® Index is composed of the 2,000 smallest stocks in the Russell 3000® Index, and is widely regarded in the industry as the premier measure of small-cap stock performance. Unlike the Fund, the Russell 2000® Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
9 |
Effective October 1, 2016, the Investor Class was renamed Class S. Effective February 27, 2017, Class S was renamed Class N.

Because a funds strategy may result
in multiple investments in particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend on the performance of those sectors and may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across more sectors. For additional information on these and
other risk considerations, please see the Funds prospectus.
Any sectors, industries, or securities discussed should not be perceived as investment
recommendations. Mention of a specific security should not be considered a recommendation to buy or solicitation to sell that security. Specific securities mentioned in this report may have been sold from the Funds portfolio of investments by

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
AMG Funds (the Trust) is an open-end management investment company, organized as a Massachusetts business
trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). Currently, the Trust consists of a number of different funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks and
policies. Included in this report is the AMG Managers Skyline Special Equities Fund (the Fund).
Effective October 1, 2016, the
Funds shares were reclassified and redesignated to Class S. Effective February 27, 2017, Class S shares were renamed to Class N shares, and Class I shares and Z shares were added. Each class represents an interest in
the same assets of the Fund. Although all share classes generally have identical voting rights, each share class votes separately when required by law. Different share classes may pay different distribution amounts to the extent the net asset value
per share and/or the expenses of such share classes differ. Each share class has its own expense structure. Please refer to a current prospectus for additional information on each share class.
Effective May 3, 2017, the Fund was re-opened to new investors. Please refer to a current prospectus for
additional information.
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 amount 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 Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:
a. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
Equity securities 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 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 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 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 Investment Manager are the committees appointed by the Board to make fair value determinations. The 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 Boards 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 Trusts 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 Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds own assumptions about the
assumptions that market participants would use in
13
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities with observable inputs)
Level 3 inputs
are significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds 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 Fund becomes aware of the ex-dividend date. 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. 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 gains and losses, the common expenses of the 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 the Fund.
d. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Fund distributions resulting from either net investment income or realized net capital gains, if any, will normally be declared and paid at least annually in
December, as described in the Funds prospectus. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which
may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial statement purposes (U.S. GAAP). Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements
to reflect their tax character. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital. Temporary differences arise when
certain items of income, expense and gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Permanent differences are primarily due to a net operating
loss. Temporary differences are due to wash sales.
e. FEDERAL TAXES
The 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, 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 the Funds understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income,
gains and transactions for the foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the 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 December 31, 2016, 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 June 30, 2017, the Fund had no accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from securities transactions for federal income tax
purposes. Should the Fund incur net capital losses for the year ending December 31, 2017, such amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains, for an unlimited time period.
14
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
g. CAPITAL STOCK
The Trusts Declaration of Trust authorizes for the Fund the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. The Fund
records sales and repurchases of its capital stock on the trade date. The cost of securities contributed to the Fund in connection with the issuance of shares is based on the valuation of those securities in accordance with the Funds policy
on investment valuation. The Fund 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 30 days of the purchase of those shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Fund received redemption fees amounting to $10,205. These amounts are netted
against the cost of shares repurchased in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets
For the six months ended June 30, 2017
(unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 2016, the capital stock transactions by class were as follows:

At June 30, 2017, certain unaffiliated shareholders of record, including omnibus accounts, individually or collectively
held greater than 10% of the net assets of the Fund as follows: two own 62%. Transactions by these shareholders may have a material impact on the Fund.
h. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND JOINT REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Fund 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 Fund participates 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 Fund may be delayed or limited.
Pursuant to the Program, the Fund is indemnified for such losses by BNYM on joint repurchase agreements.
At June 30, 2017, the market value of Repurchase Agreements outstanding was $58,371,013.
2. AGREEMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
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 Fund and is responsible
for the Funds overall administration and operations. The Investment Manager selects one or more subadvisers for the Fund (subject to Board approval) and monitors each subadvisers investment performance, security holdings and investment
strategies. The Funds investment portfolio is managed by one or more portfolio managers who serve pursuant to a subadvisory agreement with the Investment Manager.
15
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Investment management fees are paid directly by the Fund to the Investment Manager based on average daily net
assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Fund paid an investment management fee at the annual rate of 0.90% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Effective July 1, 2017, the management fee was reduced to 0.73% from 0.90%.
The Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2018, to waive management fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in order to
limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest (including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody overdrafts), brokerage commissions and other transaction costs,
acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) of the Fund to the annual rate of 1.07% of the Funds average daily net assets subject to later reimbursement by the Fund in certain circumstances. Effective July 1, 2017 the
expense limitation was reduced to 0.92% from 1.07% and extended through at least May 1, 2019. 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 Funds 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.
Effective, July 1, 2017, in general, for a period of up to 36 months, the Investment Manager may
recover from the Fund, fees waived and expenses paid pursuant to this contractual agreement, provided that such repayment would not cause the Funds total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of
the items noted in the parenthetical above) to exceed the contractual expense limitation amount.
The Trust on behalf of the Fund, 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 the Fund as further described in the Funds prospectus. Effective October 1, 2016, the Fund pays a fee to the Administrator at the rate of
0.15% per annum of the Funds average daily net assets for this service. Prior to October 1, 2016, the Fund paid an administration fee under a similar contract at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Funds average daily net assets.
The Fund is distributed by AMG Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Manager. The Distributor serves
as the distributor and underwriter for the Fund and is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). Shares of the 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.
For each of the Class N and Class I 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), banks
and trust companies that provide shareholder recordkeeping, account servicing and other services. The Fund may reimburse the Investment Manager for the actual amount incurred up to a maximum annual rate of the Funds average daily net asset
value as shown in table below.

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 the Fund to lend and borrow money for certain temporary purposes directly to and from other eligible funds in the AMG Funds family. Participation in this
interfund lending program is voluntary for both the borrowing and lending funds, and an interfund loan is only made if it benefits each participating fund. The 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 six months ended June 30,
2017, the Fund lent a maximum of $4,417,211 for 12 days earning interest in the amount of $1,185. The interest amount is included in the Statement of Operations as interest income. At June 30, 2017, the Fund had no interfund loans outstanding.
3. PURCHASE AND SALES OF SECURITIES
Purchases and
sales of securities (excluding short-term and U.S. Government Obligations) for the six months ended June 30, 2017, were $126,579,330 and $458,837,995, respectively. The Fund had no purchases or sales of U.S. Government Obligations during the
six months ended June 30, 2017.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
4. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED
The Fund participates 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 Fund, 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 Fund 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 Fund is 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 June 30, 2017, the value of the securities loaned and cash collateral
received was $54,374,537 and $58,371,013, respectively.
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Under the Trusts 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 Fund may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the Fund
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 Fund had no prior claims or losses and expect the risks of loss to be remote.
6. MASTER NETTING AGREEMENTS
The Fund may enter into
master netting agreements with its counterparties for the securities lending program 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 Fund does not offset financial assets
and financial liabilities that are subject to master netting agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For securities lending transactions, see Note 4.

Funds open Repurchase Agreements that are subject to a master netting agreement as of June 30, 2017:

7. REGULATORY UPDATES
On October 31, 2016, the SEC amended existing rules intended to modernize reporting and disclosure of information. These amendments relate to Regulation S-X which sets forth the form and content of financial statements. Management has evaluated the implications of adopting of these amendments and has determined there is no impact on the financial statements and
accompanying notes.
8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Fund has determined that no material events or transactions occurred through the issuance date of the Funds financial statements, which require an
additional disclosure in or adjustment of the Funds financial statements.
17
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (unaudited)
AMG Managers Skyline Special Equities Fund: Approval of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements on June
28-29, 2017
At an in-person meeting held on June 28-29, 2017, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees), and separately a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust (the Independent
Trustees), approved (i) the Investment Management Agreement, as amended pursuant to letter agreements at any time prior to the date of the meeting, with AMG Funds LLC (the Investment Manager) for AMG Managers Skyline Special
Equities Fund (the Fund) and separately each of Amendment No. 1 thereto dated July 1, 2015, and Amendment No. 2 thereto dated October 1, 2016 and separately an amendment, to be effective July 1, 2017, to the
Investment Management Agreement (collectively, the Investment Management Agreement) and (ii) the Subadvisory Agreement with the Subadviser for the Fund, as amended at any time prior to the date of the meeting, and separately an
amendment to be effective July 1, 2017, to the Subadvisory Agreement (collectively, the Subadvisory Agreement). The Independent Trustees were separately represented by independent legal counsel in connection with their consideration
of the approval of these agreements. In considering the Investment Management Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed a variety of materials relating to the Fund, the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, including comparative
performance, fee and expense information for an appropriate peer group of similar mutual funds (the Peer Group), performance information for the relevant benchmark index (the Fund Benchmark) and, as to all other matters,
other information provided to them on a periodic basis throughout the year, as well as information provided in connection with the meetings of June 28-29, 2017, regarding the nature, extent and quality of
services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser under their respective agreements. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees: (a) reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel and with management;
(b) received materials from
their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the
Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement; and (c) met with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.
NATURE, EXTENT, AND QUALITY OF SERVICES.
In considering
the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees reviewed information relating to the Investment Managers operations and personnel. Among other things, the Investment Manager provided financial
information, biographical information on its supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Trustees also took into account information provided periodically throughout the previous year by
the Investment Manager in Board meetings relating to the performance of its duties with respect to the Fund and the Trustees knowledge of the Investment Managers management and the quality of the performance of the Investment
Managers duties under the Investment Management Agreement and Administration Agreement. In the course of their deliberations regarding the Investment Manager, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the extent and quality of the
Investment Managers oversight of the operation and management of the Fund; (b) the quality of the search, selection and monitoring services performed by the Investment Manager in overseeing the portfolio management responsibilities of the
Subadviser; (c) the Investment Managers ability to supervise the Funds other service providers; and (d) the Investment Managers compliance program. The Trustees also took into account that, in performing its functions
under the Investment Management Agreement and supervising the Subadviser, the Investment Manager: performs periodic detailed analyses and reviews of the performance by the Subadviser of its obligations to the Fund, including without limitation,
analysis and review of portfolio and other compliance matters and review of the Subadvisers investment performance with respect
to the Fund; prepares and presents periodic reports to the Board regarding the investment performance of the
Subadviser and other information regarding the Subadviser, at such times and in such forms as the Board may reasonably request; reviews and considers any changes in the personnel of the Subadviser responsible for performing the Subadvisers
obligations and makes appropriate reports to the Board; reviews and considers any changes in the ownership or senior management of the 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 the Subadviser; assists the Board and management of the Trust in developing and reviewing
information with respect to the initial approval of the Subadvisory Agreement and annual consideration of the Subadvisory Agreement thereafter; prepares recommendations with respect to the continued retention of the Subadviser or the replacement of
the Subadviser, including at the request of the Board; identifies potential successors to or replacements of the 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 Management Agreement and applicable law. 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 Management Agreement and the Investment Managers undertaking to maintain a contractual expense limitation for the
Fund. The Trustees also considered the Investment Managers risk management processes.
18
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Subadvisers operations and personnel and the
investment philosophy, strategies and techniques (the Investment Strategy) used in managing the Fund. Among other things, the Trustees reviewed biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, information
regarding the Subadvisers organizational and management structure and the Subadvisers brokerage policies and practices. The Trustees considered specific information provided regarding the experience of the individuals at the Subadviser
with portfolio management responsibility for the Fund, including the information set forth in the Funds prospectus and statement of additional information. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees evaluated, among other things:
(a) the services rendered by the Subadviser in the past; (b) the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisers personnel; and (c) the Subadvisers compliance program. The Trustees also took into account the financial
condition of the Subadviser with respect to its ability to provide the services required under the Subadvisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered the Subadvisers risk management processes.
PERFORMANCE.
Among other information relating to the
Funds performance, the Trustees noted that the Funds 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, below, above
and above, respectively, the median performance of the Peer Group and below, below, above and above, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index. The Trustees took into account managements discussion of
the Funds performance, including the reasons for the Funds more recent underperformance relative to its Fund Benchmark and Peer Group. The Trustees noted that Class N shares of the Fund ranked in the top quintile relative to its
Peer Group for the 5-year and 10-year periods. The Trustees concluded that
the Funds overall performance has been satisfactory.
As noted above, the Board considered the Funds net performance during relevant time periods as compared to the Funds Peer Group and Fund Benchmark
and considered the gross performance of the Fund as compared to the Subadvisers 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 Funds performance results and portfolio composition, as well as the Subadvisers Investment Strategy. The Board noted the Investment Managers expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and
risk-adjusted performance of the Subadviser. The Board was mindful of the Investment Managers attention to monitoring the Subadvisers performance with respect to the Fund and its discussions with management regarding the factors that
contributed to the performance of the Fund.
ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY FEES AND PROFITABILITY.
In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee charged by the Investment Manager for managing the Fund, the Trustees noted that the Investment Manager,
and not the Fund, is responsible for paying the fees charged by the Funds 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 noted that, effective July 1, 2017,
the management fee rate for the 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 the Fund. The Trustees also noted any payments
that were made from the Subadviser to the Investment Manager, and any other payments made or to be made from the Investment Manager to the Subadviser. 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 the 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 a contractual expense limitation for the 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 the Fund), received by the Investment Manager and its affiliates attributable to managing the 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 Fund and the resulting profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from these relationships. The Trustees also noted the current asset levels of the Fund and
the willingness of the Investment Manager to waive fees and pay expenses for the Fund from time to time as a means of limiting the total expenses of the Fund. The Trustees also considered managements discussion of the current asset level of
the Fund, and the impact on profitability of both the current asset level and any future growth of assets of the Fund. The Board took into account managements discussion of the current and proposed advisory fee structure, and, as noted above,
the services the Investment Manager provides in performing its functions under the Investment Management Agreement and supervising the Subadviser. In this regard, the Trustees noted that, unlike a mutual fund that is managed by a single investment
adviser, the Fund operates in a manager-of-managers structure. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the
19
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
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 the Fund at this time (after noting the fee changes made at the meeting). With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees also noted that as the Funds 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.
In considering the reasonableness of the fee payable by the Investment Manager to the Subadviser, the Trustees relied on the ability of the Investment Manager
to negotiate the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement at arms length as part of the manager-of-managers structure, noting that the Subadviser is not affiliated with
the Investment Manager. In addition, the Trustees considered other potential benefits of the subadvisory relationship to the Subadviser, including, among others, the indirect benefits that the Subadviser may receive from the Subadvisers
relationship with the Fund, including any so-called fallout benefits to the Subadviser, such as reputational value derived from the Subadviser serving as Subadviser to the Fund, which bears the
Subadvisers name. The Trustees noted the current asset levels of the Fund and the undertaking by the Investment Manager to maintain a contractual expense limitation for the 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 the Subadviser and the profitability to the Subadviser of its relationship with the 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 the Fund by the Subadviser to be a material factor in their deliberations at this time (after noting
the fee rate changes made at the meeting).
The Trustees noted that the Funds 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 Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that effective July 1, 2017, the Funds existing contractual expense limitation agreement will be replaced with a new contractual expense limitation
agreement pursuant to which the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2019, to lower the Funds contractual expense limitation from 1.07% to 0.92% of the Funds net annual operating expenses (subject to
certain excluded expenses), subject to later reimbursement by the Fund in certain circumstances. The Trustees noted that, effective July 1, 2017, the Funds management fee rate was being reduced. The Trustees also took into account
managements discussion of the Funds expenses and competitiveness with select competitors. 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 limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Funds advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
* * * *
After consideration of the foregoing, the Trustees also reached the following conclusions (in addition to the conclusions discussed above) regarding the
Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement: (a) the Investment Manager and the Subadviser have demonstrated that they possess the capability and resources to perform the duties required of them under the Investment Management
Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement; (b) the Subadvisers Investment Strategy is appropriate for pursuing the Funds investment objectives; and (c) the Investment Manager and the 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 Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best
interests of the 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 Management Agreement and the
Subadvisory Agreement for the Fund.

Nothing contained herein is to be considered an offer, sale or solicitation of an offer to buy shares of
any series of the AMG Funds family of mutual funds. Such offering is made only by prospectus, which includes details as to offering price and other material information. |
About Your Funds Expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include
sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is
intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and
held for the entire period as indicated below.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the following table provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line,
together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the
first line under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second
line of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Funds
actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and
other funds by comparing this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please
note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful
in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

The performance data shown represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Current
performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investors shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Investors should carefully consider the Funds investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. For performance information
through the most recent month end, current net asset values per share for the Fund and other information, please call (800) 835-3879 or visit our website at www.amgfunds.com for a free prospectus. Read it
carefully before investing or sending money.

The date reflects the inception date of the Fund, not the index. |
1 |
Total return equals income yield plus share price change and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns are net of fees and may reflect offsets of Fund expenses as described in the
prospectus. No adjustment has been made for taxes payable by shareholders on their reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized. The listed returns on the Funds are net of expenses and
based on the published NAV as of June 30, 2017. All returns are in U.S. dollars ($). |
2 |
From time to time, the Funds advisor has waived its fees and/or absorbed Fund expenses, which has resulted in higher returns. |
3 |
The Fund invests in large-capitalization companies that may underperform other stock funds (such as funds that focus on small- and medium-capitalization companies) when stocks of large-capitalization companies are out
of favor. |
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 |
The Russell 1000® Growth Index is a market capitalization weighted index that measures the performance of those Russell 1000®companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Unlike the Fund, the Russell 1000® Growth Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses. |
6 |
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. |
7 |
The Fund is subject to the risks associated with investments in emerging markets, such as erratic earnings patterns, economic and political instability, changing exchange controls, limitations on repatriation of foreign
capital, and changes in local governmental attitudes toward private investment, possibly leading to nationalization or confiscation of investor assets. |
8 |
Investments in foreign securities, even though publicly traded in the United States, may involve risks which are in addition to those inherent in domestic investments. The 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. |
9 |
The MSCI All Country World Index (ACWI) Index is a free float-adjusted market-capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. The
index consists of 22 developed and 24 emerging market country indices. The developed market country indices included are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands,
New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The emerging market country indices included are: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia,
Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates. Unlike the Fund, the Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment and does not incur expenses. |

Because a funds strategy may result
in multiple investments in particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend on the performance of those sectors and may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across more sectors. For additional information on these and
other risk considerations, please see the Funds prospectus.
Any sectors, industries, or securities discussed should not be perceived as investment
recommendations. Mention of a specific security should not be considered a recommendation to buy or solicitation to sell that security. Specific securities mentioned in this report may have been sold from the Funds portfolio of investments by

Because a funds strategy may result
in multiple investments in particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend on the performance of those sectors and may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across more sectors. For additional information on these and
other risk considerations, please see the Funds prospectus.
Any sectors, industries, or securities discussed should not be perceived as investment
recommendations. Mention of a specific security should not be considered a recommendation to buy or solicitation to sell that security. Specific securities mentioned in this report may have been sold from the Funds portfolio of investments by

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
AMG Funds (the Trust) is an open-end management investment company, organized as a Massachusetts business
trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). Currently, the Trust consists of a number of different funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks, and
policies. Included in this report are the AMG Renaissance Large Cap Growth Fund (Large Cap Growth) and AMG Renaissance International Equity Fund (International Equity), each a Fund and collectively the
Funds.
Each Fund offers three classes of shares, which effective October 1, 2016, were renamed. Each Fund previously offered Investor
Class shares, Service Class shares and Institutional Class shares which were renamed Class N, Class I and Class Z, respectively. 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 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 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 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 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 (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 Boards
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 Trusts 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
21
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities with observable inputs)
Level 3
inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds 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 Fund becomes aware of the
ex-dividend date, except for Korean securities where dividends are recorded on confirmation date. 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. 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 gains and losses, the common expenses of each Fund, and certain Fund level expense
reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of each Fund.
The Funds 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 six months ended June 30,
2017, the impact on the expense ratios, if any, were as follows: Large Cap Growth$806 or less than 0.01% and International Equity$548 or 0.02%.
d. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Fund distributions
resulting from either net investment income or realized net capital gains, if any, will normally be declared and paid at least annually in December, as described in the Funds prospectus. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial statement purposes (U.S.
GAAP). Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense and gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement
and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Temporary differences are due to differences between book and tax treatment of losses for excise tax purposes, mark-to-market of passive foreign investment companies and wash sales.
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, 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 Funds 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 December 31, 2016, 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 June 30, 2017, the following Fund had accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from securities transactions for federal income tax
22
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
purposes as shown in the following chart. These amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains, if
any, for an unlimited time period.

As of December 31, 2016, Large Cap Growth had no accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from
securities transactions for federal income tax purposes. Should the Fund incur net capital losses for the year ended December 31, 2017, such amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains, if any, for an unlimited time period.
g. CAPITAL STOCK
The Trusts 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. The cost of securities contributed to the Funds in
connection with the issuance of shares is based on the valuation of those securities in accordance with the Funds policy on investment valuation.
For the six months ended June 30,
2017 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 2016, the capital stock transactions by class for the Funds were as follows:

At June 30, 2017, certain unaffiliated shareholders of record, including omnibus accounts, individually or collectively
held greater than 10% of the net assets of the Funds as follows: Large Cap Growthone owns 46%; International Equitytwo own 62%. Transactions by these shareholders may have a material impact on their respective Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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
June 30, 2017, the market value of Repurchase Agreements outstanding for Large Cap Growth and International Equity were $2,807,112 and $229,484, respectively.
i. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The books and records of
the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of investments, assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon current foreign exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign
investments, income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based on currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions represent:
(1) foreign exchange gains and losses from the sale and holdings of foreign currencies; (2) gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions and forward foreign currency exchange contracts; and
(3) gains and losses from the difference between amounts of interest and dividends recorded and the amounts actually received.
The Funds do not
isolate the net realized and unrealized gain or loss resulting from changes in exchange rates from the fluctuations in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
j. FOREIGN SECURITIES
International Equity invests
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 Funds
investments in emerging market countries are exposed to additional risks. A Funds 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 subadvisers for
the Funds (subject to Board approval) and monitors each subadvisers investment performance, security holdings and investment strategies. Each Funds investment portfolio is managed by The Renaissance Group LLC (Renaissance),
who serves pursuant to a subadvisory agreement with the Investment Manager. AMG indirectly owns a majority interest in Renaissance.
Investment management
fees are paid directly by the Funds to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Funds investment management fees were paid at the following annual rate of each Funds
respective average daily net assets:

Effective May 1, 2017, Large Cap Growth changed to a tiered management fee structure. Prior to May 1, 2017, the annual rate for Large Cap Growths investment management fee was 0.55% of the Funds
average daily net assets. |
The Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2019, for Large Cap Growth and
through at least May 1, 2018 for International Equity, to waive management fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in order to limit total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest
(including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody overdrafts), shareholder servicing fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, acquired fund
fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) of Large Cap Growth and International Equity to 0.66% and 0.85%, respectively, of each Funds average daily net assets subject to later reimbursement by the Funds in certain circumstances. The
contractual expense limitation may only be terminated in the event the Investment Manager or a successor ceases to be the investment manager of the Fund or a successor fund, by mutual agreement between the Investment Manager and the Board, or in the
event of the Funds 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.
In general, for a period of up to 36 months, the Investment Manager may recover from each Fund, fees waived and expenses paid pursuant to this
24
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
contractual agreement, provided that such repayment would not cause the Funds total annual fund operating
expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of the items noted in the parenthetical above) to exceed the contractual expense limitation amount.

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 Funds prospectus. Effective October 1, 2016, each Fund pays a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.15% per annum of the Funds average daily net assets for this service. Prior to
October 1, 2016, the Funds paid an administration fee under a similar contract at an annual rate of 0.25% of each Funds average daily net assets.
The Funds are distributed by AMG Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Manager. The Distributor serves
as the distributor and underwriter for each Fund and is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). Shares of each Fund will be continuously offered and will be sold directly to
prospective purchasers 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 Class N shares of each Fund, in accordance with the
requirements of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and the requirements of the applicable rules of FINRA regarding asset-based sales charges. Pursuant to the Plan, each Fund may make payments to the Distributor for
its expenditures in financing any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of each Funds Class N 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% annually of each Funds average daily net assets attributable to the Class N shares. The Plan further provides for periodic payments by the Fund 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 N shares for shareholder
servicing may not exceed an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of the Funds shares
of that class owned by clients of such broker, dealer or financial intermediary.
For each of the Class N and Class I 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) banks, and trust companies who provide shareholder recordkeeping, account servicing and other services. There are no shareholder servicing fees authorized for Class Z. The Class N and Class I
shares may reimburse the Investment Manager for the actual amount incurred up to a maximum annual rate of each Classs average daily net asset value as shown in the table below.
The impact on the annualized expense ratios for the six months ended June 30, 2017, were as follows:

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) has granted an exemptive order that permits the Funds to lend and borrow money for certain
temporary purposes directly to and from other eligible funds in the AMG Funds family. Participation in this interfund lending program is voluntary for both the borrowing and lending funds, and an interfund loan is only made if it benefits each
participating fund. The 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 six months ended June 30, 2017, the Funds neither borrowed from nor lent to other funds in the AMG Funds family. At June 30, 2017, the Funds had no interfund
loans outstanding.

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 June 30, 2017, the value of the securities loaned and cash collateral received, were as follows:

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Under the Trusts 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. MASTER NETTING AGREEMENTS
The Funds may enter
into master netting agreements with their counterparties for the securities lending program 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 transactions, see Note 4.

7. REGULATORY UPDATES
On October 13, 2016, the SEC amended existing rules intended to modernize reporting and disclosure of information. These amendments relate to Regulation S-X, which sets forth the form and content of financial statements. Management has evaluated the implications of adopting these amendments and has determined there is no material impact on the financial statements
and accompanying notes.
8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On
July 31, 2017, the Large Cap Growth Fund (the Fund) acquired all the net assets of AMG Managers Cadence Capital Appreciation Fund (Capital Appreciation) based on the respective valuations as of the close of business on
July 28, 2017, pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization approved by the shareholders of Capital Appreciation on July 22, 2017.
The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 357,760

Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements
(unaudited)
AMG Renaissance Large Cap Growth Fund and AMG Renaissance International Equity Fund: Approval of Investment
Management and Subadvisory Agreements on June 28-29, 2017
At an in-person
meeting held on June 28-29, 2017, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees), and separately a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust
(the Independent Trustees), approved (i) the Investment Management Agreement, as amended pursuant to letter agreements at any time prior to the date of the meeting, with AMG Funds LLC (the Investment Manager) for each of
AMG Renaissance Large Cap Growth Fund and AMG Renaissance International Equity Fund (each, a Fund, and collectively, the Funds) and separately each of Amendment No. 1 thereto dated July 1, 2015, and Amendment
No. 2 thereto dated October 1, 2016 (collectively, the Investment Management Agreement) and (ii) the Subadvisory Agreements, as amended at any time prior to the date of the meeting, with the Subadviser with respect to each
Fund (collectively, the Subadvisory Agreements). The Independent Trustees were separately represented by independent legal counsel in connection with their consideration of the approval of these agreements. In considering the Investment
Management Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed a variety of materials relating to the Funds, the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, including comparative performance, fee and expense information for an appropriate peer
group of similar mutual funds (each, a Peer Group), performance information for relevant benchmark indices (each, a Fund Benchmark) and, as to all other matters, other information provided to them on a periodic basis
throughout the year, as well as information provided in connection with the meetings of June 28-29, 2017, regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and the
Subadviser under their respective agreements. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees: (a) reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel and with management; (b) received materials from their
independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements; and (c) met with their independent legal
counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.
NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees reviewed information relating to the Investment
Managers operations and personnel. Among other things, the Investment Manager provided financial information, biographical information on its supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure.
The Trustees also took into account information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Investment Manager in Board meetings relating to the performance of its duties with respect to the Funds and the Trustees knowledge of
the Investment Managers management and the quality of the performance of the Investment Managers duties under the Investment Management Agreement and Administration Agreement. In the course of their deliberations regarding the Investment
Manager, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the extent and quality of the Investment Managers oversight of the operation and management of the Funds; (b) the quality of the Investment Managers oversight of the
performance by the Subadviser of its portfolio management duties; (c) the Investment Managers ability to supervise the Funds other service providers; and (d) the Investment Managers compliance program. The Trustees also
took into account that, in performing its functions under the Investment Management Agreement and supervising the Subadviser, the Investment Manager: performs periodic detailed analyses and reviews of the performance by the Subadviser of its
obligations to each Fund, including without limitation, analysis and review of portfolio and other compliance matters and review of the Subadvisers investment performance with respect to each Fund; prepares and presents periodic
reports to the Board regarding the investment performance of the Subadviser and other information regarding the Subadviser, at such times and in such forms as the Board may reasonably request;
reviews and considers any changes in the personnel of the Subadviser responsible for performing the Subadvisers obligations and makes appropriate reports to the Board; reviews and considers any changes in the ownership or senior management of
the 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 the 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 the Subadviser or the replacement of the Subadviser, including at the request of the Board; identifies potential successors to or replacements of the 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 Management
Agreement and applicable law. 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 Management Agreement and the Investment Managers undertaking to maintain a contractual expense limitation for each Fund. The Trustees also considered the Investment
Managers risk management processes.
28
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (unaudited)
The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Subadvisers financial condition, operations and
personnel and the investment philosophy, strategies and techniques (its Investment Strategy) used in managing each Fund. Among other things, the Trustees reviewed biographical information on portfolio management and other professional
staff, information regarding the Subadvisers organizational and management structure and the Subadvisers brokerage policies and practices. The Trustees considered specific information provided regarding the experience of the individual
at the Subadviser with portfolio management responsibility for each Fund, including the information set forth in the Funds prospectus and statement of additional information. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees evaluated, among
other things: (a) the services rendered by the Subadviser in the past; (b) the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisers personnel; and (c) the Subadvisers compliance program. The Trustees also took into account the
financial condition of the Subadviser with respect to its ability to provide the services required under each Subadvisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered the Subadvisers risk management processes.
PERFORMANCE.
As noted above, the Board considered each
Funds net performance during relevant time periods as compared to the Funds Peer Group and Fund Benchmark and considered the gross performance of the Fund as compared to the Subadvisers 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 Funds performance results and portfolio composition, as well as the Subadvisers Investment Strategy. The
Board noted the Investment Managers expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance of the Subadviser. The Board was mindful of the Investment Managers attention to monitoring the
Subadvisers performance with respect to the Funds and its discussions with management regarding the factors that contributed to the performance of the Funds.
With respect to AMG Renaissance Large Cap Growth Fund, among other information relating to the Funds
performance, the Trustees noted that the Funds performance for Class Z 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 Funds inception on June 3, 2009 through March 31, 2017 was above the median
performance for the Peer Group and above, below, above and below, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index. The Trustees took into account
managements discussion of the Funds performance, including its more recent improved performance relative to its Peer Group and Fund Benchmark. The Trustees noted that Class Z shares of the Fund ranked in the top decile relative to
its Peer Group for the 5-year period and in the top quintile relative to its Peer Group for the 1-year and 3-year periods. The
Trustees concluded that the Funds overall performance has been satisfactory.
With respect to AMG Renaissance International Equity Fund, among other
information relating to the Funds performance, the Trustees noted that the Funds performance for Class Z 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 Funds inception on June 16, 2014 through March 31, 2017 was below and at, respectively, the median performance for the Peer Group
and below and above, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index ex US. The Trustees took into account managements discussion of the Funds performance, including its more recent underperformance
relative to its Peer Group and Fund Benchmark. The Trustees noted the fact that Class Z shares of the Fund outperformed the Fund Benchmark and ranked at the cusp of the top half relative to its Peer Group for the period from the Funds
inception through March 31, 2017. The Trustees concluded that the Funds overall performance has been satisfactory.
ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY FEES AND PROFITABILITY.
In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee payable to the Investment Manager, the Trustees 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 considered the various changes in management,
administrative and shareholder servicing fee rates that were implemented during the past year for the Funds, noting that the Investment Manager provides administrative and shareholder services to the Funds pursuant to an Administration Agreement
with the Funds. 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 from the Subadviser to
the Investment Manager, and any other payments made or to be made from the Investment Manager to the Subadviser. The Trustees also considered managements 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.
In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Investment Manager
under the Investment Management Agreement and the profitability to the Investment Manager of its relationship with each Fund, the Trustees noted the undertaking by the Investment Manager to maintain contractual expense limitations for the Funds. The
Board also
29
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (unaudited)
took into account managements discussion of the advisory fee structure, and, as noted above, the services
the Investment Manager provides in performing its functions under the Investment Management Agreement and supervising the Subadviser. 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 fee at this time. Also with respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that as each Funds 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 considering the reasonableness of the subadvisory fees payable by the Investment Manager to the Subadviser, the Trustees reviewed information regarding the
cost to the Subadviser of providing subadvisory services to each Fund and the resulting profitability from the relationships. The Trustees noted that, because the Subadviser is an affiliate of the Investment Manager, a portion of the
Subadvisers 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. The Board also took into account
managements discussion of the subadvisory fee structure, and the services the Subadviser provides in performing its functions under each Subadvisory Agreement. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the
Subadviser is reasonable and that the Subadviser is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the advisory or subadvisory fees at this time. Also with respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted
that as a Funds 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.
With respect to AMG Renaissance Large Cap Growth Fund, the Trustees noted that the Funds 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 lower than the average for the Funds
Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2019, to limit the Funds net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.66%. The Trustees
concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser (which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above
with respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Funds advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
With respect to AMG Renaissance
International Equity Fund, the Trustees noted that the Funds 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 lower than the average for the Funds Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2018, to limit the
Funds net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.85%. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser (which is an
affiliate of the Investment Manager), the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Funds advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
* * * *
After consideration of the foregoing, the Trustees also reached the following conclusions (in addition to the
conclusions discussed above) regarding the Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements: (a) the Investment Manager has demonstrated that it possesses the resources and capability to perform its duties under the Investment Management
Agreement; (b) the Subadviser has the resources to perform its duties under each Subadvisory Agreement and is qualified to manage each Funds assets in accordance with its investment objectives and policies; and (c) the Investment
Manager and 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 Management 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 Management
Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement for each Fund.

Nothing contained herein is to be considered an offer, sale or solicitation of an offer to buy shares of any series of the AMG
Funds Family of mutual funds. Such offering is made only by prospectus, which includes details as to offering price and other material information.
About Your Funds Expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include
sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is
intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and
held for the entire period as indicated below.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the following table provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line,
together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the
first line under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second
line of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Funds
actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and
other funds by comparing this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please
note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful
in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

The performance data shown represents past performance. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher
than the performance data quoted. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investors shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Investors should carefully consider the Funds investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. For performance information through
the most recent month end, current net asset values per share for the Fund and other information, please call (800) 835-3879 or visit our website at www.amgfunds.com for a free prospectus. Read it carefully
before investing or sending money.

Date reflects the inception date of the Fund, not the index. |
1 |
Total return equals income yield plus share price change and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns are net of fees and may reflect offsets of Fund expenses as described in the
prospectus. No adjustment has been made for taxes payable by shareholders on their reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized. The listed returns on the Fund are net of expenses and
based on the published NAV as of June 30, 2017. All returns are in U.S. dollars ($). |
2 |
From time to time the Funds advisor has waived its fees and/or absorbed Fund expenses, which has resulted in higher returns. |
3 |
The Fund is subject to the risks associated with investments in debt securities, such as default risk and fluctuations in the perception of the debtors 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. |
4 |
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 issuers continuing ability to make principal and interest payments. The issuers of the Funds holdings may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations, or financial restructurings,
and are not as strong financially as higher-rated issuers. |
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. |
6 |
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.
|
7 |
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. |
8 |
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.
|
9 |
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. |
10 |
A greater percentage of the Funds holdings may be focused in a smaller number of securities which may place the Fund at greater risk than a more diversified fund. |
11 |
The Fund may invest greater than 5% of its assets in money market securities, cash, or cash equivalents as a temporary defensive measure in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions.
|
12 |
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. |
13 |
The Funds investment management fees are subject to a performance adjustment, which could increase or
reduce the investment management fees paid by the Fund. The prospect of a positive or negative performance adjustment may create an incentive for the Funds portfolio manager to take greater risks with the Funds portfolio. In addition,
because performance adjustments are based upon past performance, a shareholder may pay a higher or lower management fee for performance that occurred prior to the shareholders investment in the Fund. The performance adjustment could increase
the Investment Managers fee (and, in turn, the Subadvisers fee) even if the Funds shares lose value during the performance period provided that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index, and could decrease the Investment

Fund Performance (continued)
|
Managers fee (and, in turn, the Subadvisers fee) even if the Funds shares increase in value during the performance period provided that the Fund underperformed its benchmark
index. |
14 |
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. |
15 |
The Fund is subject to the risks associated with investments in emerging markets, such as erratic earnings patterns, economic and political instability, changing exchange controls, limitations on repatriation of foreign
capital and changes in local governmental attitudes toward private investment, possibly leading to nationalization or confiscation of investor assets. |
16 |
The Fund invests in large-capitalization companies that may underperform other stock funds (such as funds that focus on small- and medium-capitalization companies) when stocks of large-capitalization companies are out
of favor. |
17 |
The Fund is subject to the special risks associated with investments in micro-cap companies, such as relatively short earnings history, competitive conditions, less publicly
available corporate |
|
information, and reliance on a limited number of products. |
18 |
Companies that are in similar businesses may be similarly affected by particular economic or market events; to the extent the Fund has substantial holdings within a particular sector, the risks associated with that
sector increase. |
19 |
A short-term redemption fee of 2% will be charged on shares held for less than 60 days. |
20 |
The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks. The S&P 500 Index is designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks
representing all major industries. Unlike the Fund, the S&P 500 Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment and does not incur expenses. |
21 |
The MSCI ACWI All Cap captures large, mid, small and micro cap representation across 23 Developed Markets (DM) countries and large, mid and small cap representation across 24 Emerging Markets (EM) countries. The index
is comprehensive, covering approximately 99% of the global equity investment opportunity set. The developed market country indices included are: Australia, Austria, |

AMG Yacktman Fund
Portfolio Managers Comments (unaudited)
The AMG Yacktman Fund (Class I) returned 8.09% trailing the S&P 500® Index, which returned 9.34% for the first six months of 2017.
MARKET PRICES ARE UP
Performance has moderated in recent years by our rising need to control risk in an environment that has become increasingly expensive and uncertain. In the
last five years, most of the market rise has been due to investors paying higher and higher multiples for stocks while earnings growth has been fairly anemic. Today, market valuations are historically expensive, which makes it more difficult to find
bargains, and during times like these, we patiently hold cash until we find investments that meet our risk-adjusted return hurdles. We never make market calls in the Fund. When we find investments that meet our parameters, we invest.
We are still able to find opportunities, and in the last quarter we established two new positions. However, due to large price increases in many of our
current positions, we have also been trimming and selling. We also sold one position, C.R. Bard, after an acquisition proposal, and we have a small position in Staples that agreed to be taken private at quarter end.
MARKET QUALITY IS DOWN
We believe technology advances
have made the marketplace more difficult for many established businesses. This cuts across a wide range of sectors, from media to retail to energy to financial services, and means a prudent investor should pay a lower multiple in a world in which
earnings power has become more uncertain. The investment case for most emerging disruptive companies is often weak due to high valuation or because the company is private. Also, disrupters can themselves be disrupted. Remember a few years ago when
iTunes was going to dominate digital music via downloads? How about MySpace, AltaVista and AOL?
We have strong confidence that the Funds portfolio
holdings can deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns over the long term and believe we have some standout bargains, such as 21st
Century Fox (Fox) and Samsung Electronics Preferred (Samsung), which may help generate outperformance versus the market over time.
CONTRIBUTORS INCLUDED SAMSUNG, ORACLE CORP. (ORACLE), AND JOHNSON & JOHNSON (J&J)
Samsungs shares appreciated solidly in the first half of 2017 as the company produced strong earnings growth in memory and display products. We believe
the shares remain inexpensive due to higher level of profits. We expect Samsungs 2017 earnings per share to be more than double their level just two years ago.
Although Samsungs stock has appreciated significantly recently, we feel it remains inexpensive, trading at a P/E of five after adjusting for net cash
and investments. Samsung is currently earning more pretax than the entire FANG group combined (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google now known as Alphabet), yet it trades at about one-tenth the price.
Oracles stock rose during the first half of the year after the company reported solid earnings results that demonstrated a return to growth after
several years of challenges. The company is executing a solid transition to the cloud, and the shares continue to trade at a significant discount to peers.
J&Js stock appreciated solidly to start the year, along with the general strength of the health care sector. We believe J&J continues to be one
of the finest and best-positioned health care companies in the world.
DETRACTORS INCLUDED SYSCO CORPORATION (SYSCO), EXXON MOBIL CORP. (EXXON), AND
AVON PRODUCTS (AVON)
Declining stocks have detracted modestly from results for the first six months of 2017. In total, our most significant
contributor to results, Samsung, produced greater gains of the cumulative losses of all declining securities in the Fund.
Syscos shares retreated
somewhat after posting an exceptional year in 2016. The company
continues to successfully transform its business, increasing profit margins and expanding outside of the United States. After Amazon.com announced it would acquire Whole Foods, Syscos
shares sold off on concerns that Amazon would eventually compete in the distribution industry after transforming the retail side. Given the modest profit margins that exist in the wholesale distribution industry and the significant value add with
customer relationships, we think those concerns are overblown.
Exxons shares declined during the half of the year along with general weakness in
the energy sector. Management is executing well against its long term strategic plan even though oil prices have proven to be a major headwind for earnings and the share price.
Our small position in Avon Products (Avon) declined in the first half of the year after reporting weaker than expected sales and profits. Avons CEO,
Sheri McCoy will be stepping down next year. We think the company still has significant brand and distribution value and new leadership may provide improved execution. Although the stock declined, we also own Avon debt, which produce solid returns
during the first half of the year.
NOTE ON INDEXING
In recent years, there has been a major shift away from active fund managers to index funds and ETFs. We think there is some merit to this trend, as many
managers built portfolios that were not very differently constructed than their benchmark(s).
The Fund has always been managed to achieve risk-adjusted
returns over a full market cycle and not to mimic a benchmark in the short-term. We think being different has been a large contributor to our success over time. The Fund has always been about flexibility and individual security selection. We believe
an index-based investment approach simply does not manage risk, has likely been a powerful contributor to the multiple expansion over the last five years, and could be creating significant market risk today. In a period

of uncertainty, when investors redeem index funds, who will be on the other side of the trade? Who will be the
willing buyers, and at what valuation?
CONCLUSION
In the first week of July, the AMG Yacktman Fund celebrated its 25th anniversary. We are proud that the Fund has outperformed the S&P 500 Index
since inception and done so while staying risk averse. We want to express our sincere appreciation to our shareholders as we move into our second quarter century. Successful management of a fund
emphasizing risk-adjusted returns over time requires a patient and thoughtful investor base, which we have been able to attract over the years. We are also fortunate to have an
excellent business partner in Affiliated Managers Group, adviser to the Fund, and an amazing team at Yacktman Asset Management. We will continue to work hard to assess current holdings and
potential new additions to the AMG Yacktman Fund, and, as always, we will be patient, objective and diligent in our efforts.

AMG Yacktman Focused Fund
Portfolio Managers Comments (unaudited)
The AMG Yacktman Focused Fund (Class N) returned 9.34% matching the S&P 500® Index, which returned 9.34% for the first six months of 2017.
MARKET PRICES ARE UP
Performance has moderated in recent years by our rising need to control risk in an environment that has become increasingly expensive and uncertain. In the
last five years, most of the market rise has been due to investors paying higher and higher multiples for stocks while earnings growth has been fairly anemic. Today, market valuations are historically expensive, which makes it more difficult to find
bargains, and during times like these, we patiently hold cash until we find investments that meet our risk-adjusted return hurdles. We never make market calls in the Fund. When we find investments that meet our parameters, we invest.
We are still able to find opportunities, and in the last quarter we established two new positions. However, due to large price increases in many of our
current positions, we have also been trimming and selling.
MARKET QUALITY IS DOWN
We believe technology advances have made the marketplace more difficult for many established businesses. This cuts across a wide range of sectors, from media
to retail to energy to financial services, and means a prudent investor should pay a lower multiple in a world in which earnings power has become more uncertain. The investment case for most emerging disruptive companies is often weak due to high
valuation or because the company is private. Also, disrupters can themselves be disrupted. Remember a few years ago when iTunes was going to dominate digital music via downloads? How about MySpace, AltaVista, and AOL?
We have strong confidence that the Funds holdings can deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns over the long term and believe we have
some standout bargains, such as 21st Century Fox (Fox) and Samsung Electronics Preferred (Samsung), which may
help generate outperformance versus the market over time.
Contributors Included Samsung, Oracle Corp. (Oracle), and PepsiCo (Pepsi)
Samsungs shares appreciated solidly in the first half of the year as the company produced strong earnings growth in memory and display products. We
believe the shares remain inexpensive due to higher level of profits. We expect Samsungs 2017 earnings per share to be more than double their level just two years ago.
Although Samsungs stock has appreciated significantly recently, we feel it remains inexpensive, trading at a P/E of five after adjusting for net cash
and investments. Samsung is currently earning more pretax than the entire FANG group combined (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google now known as Alphabet), yet it trades at about one-tenth the price.
Oracles stock rose during the first six months of 2017 after the company reported solid earnings results that demonstrated a return to growth after
several years of challenges. The company is executing a solid transition to the cloud, and the shares continue to trade at a significant discount to peers.
Pepsis stock appreciated during the first half of 2017, along with the general strength of the consumer staples sector. We believe Pepsi continues to be
one of the finest and best-positioned consumer companies in the world.
DETRACTORS INCLUDED SYSCO CORP (SYSCO), CONOCOPHILLIPS (CONOCO), AND AVON
PRODUCTS (AVON)
Declining stocks have detracted modestly from results for the first six months of 2017. In total, our
most significant gainer, Samsung, produced 8 x the gains of the cumulative losses of all declining securities in
the Fund.
Syscos shares retreated somewhat after posting an exceptional year in 2016. The company continues to successfully transform its business,
increasing profit margins and expanding outside of the United States. After Amazon.com announced it would acquire Whole Foods, Syscos shares sold off on concerns that Amazon would eventually compete in the distribution industry after
transforming the retail side. Given the modest profit margins that exist in the wholesale distribution industry and the significant value add with customer relationships, we think those concerns are overblown.
Conocos shares declined during the half of the year along with general weakness in the energy sector. Earlier this year the company announced a
divestiture which was at an attractive price and significantly improves the balance sheet. Management is executing well against its long term strategic plan even though oil prices have proven to be a major headwind for earnings and the share price.
Our small position in Avon Products (Avon) declined in the first half of the year after reporting weaker than expected sales and profits. Avons
CEO, Sheri McCoy will be stepping down next year. We think the company still has significant brand and distribution value and new leadership may provide improved execution. Although the stock declined, we also own Avon debt, which produce solid
returns during the first half of the year.
NOTE ON INDEXING
In recent years, there has been a major shift away from active fund managers to index funds and ETFs. We think there is some merit to this trend, as many
managers built portfolios that were not very differently constructed than their benchmark(s).
11
AMG Yacktman Focused Fund
Portfolio Managers Comments (continued)
The Fund has always been managed to achieve risk-adjusted returns over a full market cycle and not to mimic a
benchmark in the short-term. We think being different has been a large contributor to our success over time. The Fund has always been about flexibility, individual security selection and a concentration in best ideas. We believe an index-based
investment approach simply does not manage risk, has likely been a powerful contributor to the multiple expansion over the last
five years, and could be creating significant market risk today. In a period of uncertainty, when investors
redeem index funds, who will be on the other side of the trade? Who will be the willing buyers, and at what valuation?
CONCLUSION
We want to express our sincere appreciation to our shareholders as we move into our second quarter-century as a firm. Successful management of a fund
emphasizing risk-adjusted returns over time
requires a patient and thoughtful investor base, which we have been able to attract over the years. We are also
fortunate to have an excellent business partner in Affiliated Managers Group, adviser to the Fund, and an amazing team at Yacktman Asset Management. We will continue to work hard to assess current holdings and potential new additions to the AMG
Yacktman Fund, and, as always, we will be patient, objective and diligent in our efforts.

Because a funds strategy may result
in multiple investments in particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend on the performance of those sectors and may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across more sectors. For additional information on these and
other risk considerations, please see the Funds prospectus.

AMG Yacktman Special Opportunities Fund
Portfolio Managers Comments (unaudited)
AMG YACKTMAN SPECIAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND MID-YEAR UPDATE
JUNE 30, 2017
For the six months ending 6/30/2017, the AMG Yacktman Special Opportunities Fund (the Fund) returned 19.0%. The MSCI
ACWI All Cap Index returned 11.4%, an outperformance of 7.6%.
June 30, 2017, also marks the three-year anniversary of the Fund. Since inception, the
Fund has returned an annualized 6.5% versus the benchmark return of 4.9%, an outperformance of 1.6% annually. This accomplishment is satisfying given the current market environment, but we remain focused on our overarching goal risk-adjusted
returns over a full market cycle. The Funds broad mandate to seek out the best investment ideas without constraints has led to a portfolio of quality businesses with conservative balance sheets at inexpensive absolute valuations, a resilient
combination in on otherwise expensive market.
FUND REVIEW
This year is off to a strong start, driven by healthy gains in core positions and no major detractors. This performance is on the heels of a solid 2016,
leading to a trailing 12-month return of more than 40%. Even with this recent performance run, the Fund still trades at a significant discount to the market. We have responded to the upswing in the Fund by
trimming winning positions while reallocating capital to other Fund portfolio companies and new investments. A critical element of our success is leveraging our flexible mandate to constantly rotate the Fund toward what we believe are better ideas.
This flexibility to go anywhere will become only more important if valuations in the broader market remain elevated

Source: AMG Funds & FactSet, Weighted average metrics, as of 06/30/17. Portfolio characteristics are subject to change. |
We added a new metric to the table enterprise value to earnings before interest and taxes (EV/EBIT). Unlike price to earnings (P/E) ratios, an EV/EBIT
multiple incorporates the capital structure of the business. The Funds average
EV/EBIT multiple of 6.6x reflects the largest delta of any metric versus the market, showcasing the excess cash
in many of our holdings. Cash on our companies balance sheets dampens their return on assets (given that cash earns close to zero today) but we believe adds an important element of safety to the overall portfolio.
We added seven new positions to the Fund in the first half of 2017, demonstrating an ability to find value in an expensive market. This was an active period,
although most of these new positions started out with a small weighting. At June 30, 2017, the top ten holdings in the Fund represented 45% of assets. The Funds portfolio composition resembles a barbell, featuring a
concentrated group of top positions and a longer tail of diversified holdings for the remainder. We identified several areas of the market where we believed the risk/reward ratio was similar (such as Korean preferred shares and Japanese deep value
microcaps). In those areas, we have utilized a basket approach to spread our investment over more companies. This structure allows us to put capital to work while waiting for truly great deals. We do not believe we are giving up much
return by buying these baskets, and when diversification is free we are happy to partake.
We also exited three positions: Raven Industries Inc. (Raven),
Amsterdam Commodities N.V. (Acomo) and Mocon. Raven was added to the Fund in January 2015. It has many of the characteristics we look for in an investment strong return on capital,niche leadership positions, conservative balance sheet and
successful track record. We initiated the position on a pullback in earnings due to the sharp downturn in both the agricultural and oil & gas markets. We added to the weighting as management took hard steps to
right-size the business. We exited as the price recovered and the market embedded a much rosier outlook.
Acomo
has been in the Fund from the start. It is primarily a spice trading company with a long history (several subsidiaries were founded back in the 1800s) and few comparable peers. Acomo offered stability we never expected the stock to double or
triple, but rather to steadily compound business value. Management delivered on this premise and our return was boosted as the earnings multiple expanded (showcasing the benefits of buying cheaply). These are some of our favorite types of
investments, as the market often overlooks the boring or unique.
Finally, Mocon was acquired by Ametek for $30 per share in June. Mocon was also in the
Fund since inception, when we purchased our initial position around $16. The companys permeation segment is by far the dominant leader with ~80% share in a niche market (equipment to measure the amount of gases that penetrate materials such as
food packaging). It wasnt an exciting growth

Portfolio Managers Comments (continued)
business, but we liked the combination of stable returns and a defensible position. This was the second
acquisition of a company in the Fund, following Martha Stewart in 2015.
More than half of current holdings have been part of the Fund since inception. We
hope to hold many of these companies for a long time. However, we are constantly adjusting portfolio weightings as price movements impact our estimates of future returns. Most of our trading in the first half of the year was trimming existing
positions as prices moved higher, raising our cash position to 12%. Our cash holding is a reflection of our bottom-up investment approach. While we search for new areas to deploy these proceeds, cash serves as
a useful option if the inevitable downturn appears.
CONTRIBUTORS/DETRACTORS
Among the three largest contributors to the Fund in the first half were Samsung Electronics Preferred (Samsung), Emeco Holdings 9.875% 2019 Notes (Emeco) and
Hargreaves Services plc (Hargreaves). Samsung moved past the Galaxy Note 7 setback to post strong earnings, driven by its components businesses. The company should benefit from a tight memory market and a shift in smartphones to OLED displays, both
areas where Samsung has a technology lead and low cost position. An improved shareholder return policy featuring share repurchases was also well received by the market. Samsung is one of the largest companies in the world, yet the share price of the
preferred shares has more than doubled in the last 18 months.
We have discussed Hargreaves in previous letters, often in the detractors section. However,
it is pleasing to note the recent recovery in the share price as management reoriented the business in the face of a shifting U.K. coal and power market. Despite a deterioration in the core business, our investment was cushioned by Hargreaves
business model. As a distributor, Hargreaves shrinking sales base turned working capital into cash and allowed the company to rapidly reduce debt. The biggest problem area, Hargreaves surface mining operations, are now confined to a
single mine. Despite being the main culprit of the earnings decline, the mining operation generated a hidden asset vast land holdings that offer a number of real estate projects with potential returns far higher than Hargreaves modest
cost basis. The recent approval of the Blindwells development, a large residential housing project outside of Edinburgh, caused a sharp spike in the shares. We continue to be impressed by the management team and their navigation of such a
challenging environment.
A special mention is also warranted for our investment in the Emeco bonds, which has been a strong contributor to returns. While
we are an equity-focused fund, we took advantage of a unique situation in the high yield market, an option unavailable to many of our competitors. After our initial purchase, we suffered through a markdown on the bonds during the commodity bear
market in 2016, as Emecos equipment rental model was at the center of the maelstrom. But we felt secure in our senior position in the capital structure,
with our bonds covered by Emecos assets on the balance sheet. Fast forward to today activist
investors have installed new management, operations have improved and the company moved forward with an ambitious three-way merger with two rental peers. We received both new debt and equity in the combined
company, with the new debt covering our cost basis in the old bonds. This means we received the equity upside for free and continue to hold a security paying 9.25% interest until 2022, not bad in an ultra-low rate world. The new bonds trading above
par signal much improved prospects ahead.
Our largest detractors were Texhong Textile Group Ltd, Americas
Car-Mart Inc. and Reading International, Inc. All three had a negligible impact, due mostly to the normal variation in stock prices. In fact, we only had six positions decrease even a small amount during the
first six months of 2017. We are doubtful that feat can be repeated for the rest of the year, but will work hard to match it.
THREE YEARS IN
Past letters have reminded shareholders that random fluctuations influence short-term results. A few quarters or years are not always representative of our
investment analysis or execution, as prices can diverge from underlying value for extended periods. For a time, we felt the Fund was responding well below its potential due to headwinds from foreign currency movements and temporary price declines in
some of our top holdings.
Currency movements were a drag on performance in the first 18 months. Although many of our holdings employ natural currency
hedges, this dynamic was not always immediately recognized by the market. Currency volatility has moderated and we continue to believe that these swings will wash out in the long run.
Also, a confluence of events in a short period caused price declines in some of our top holdings. For example, litigation financer IMF Bentham Ltd. (Bentham)
has been a large holding since inception. The company had built up a stellar track record of cases through 2015, losing only 6 cases out of 159 (a 96% success rate). Who could have predicted the company would then lose three major cases in a few
short months? Even the best lawyers (or investment managers) get a few wrong, but the market often forecasts such losing streaks to continue indefinitely.
Benthams string of case losses remind us of an advanced statistic in baseball called batting average on balls in play (BAPIP), which measures how many
hits result when a ball is batted but stays on the field (ignoring strikeouts, walks, homeruns, etc.). Anyone who has played sports recognizes the role luck can play and how luck can seem to concentrate in a few critical plays. Sometimes the batter
hits a hard line drive with tremendous velocity but directly to the shortstop for an easy out. The same hit two feet to the left leads to the baseball rolling in the gap for a double. Is this difference of a few feet luck or skill? Over short
periods of time, unpredictable bounces can overwhelm skill and make an all-star player look like a minor leaguer. Yet over the long term, BAPIP tends to normalize and reveal a players true abilities. The
Fund experienced some
20
AMG Yacktman Special Opportunities Fund
Portfolio Managers Comments (continued)
tough bounces in a short period of time, but we stuck to our investment discipline. We purchased more of Bentham
in response, and watched as Benthams win percentage subsequently normalized, helping to drive a rapid recovery in Fund performance on both an absolute and relative basis. We finally hit a few line drives in the gap.
Amongst our top contributors over the first three years were Emeco Holdings 9.875% Bonds, Samsung Electronics, Texhong Textile Group, Americas Car-Mart and Retail Holdings. It is an eclectic list from a subprime auto dealer to a Hong Kong yarn company, and from one of the largest technology companies in the world to a
sub-$100m market cap special situation. Such a varied list of contributors validates our wide-ranging approach. While many funds are restricted to investing within narrow bands, we retain flexibility to go
anywhere and be different. We feel having such differentiated insight across a range of investment opportunities is key to long-term success. This has proven true in our first three years and we believe it can continue in the future as well.
Amongst the Funds top three detractors since inception include Hargreaves, Aggreko Plc, and Nac Co. All share a common element of being exposed to macro
forces largely outside of the companys control which impacted business results. We still hold both Hargreaves and Aggreko, believing there is further room for recovery in both shares. We have taken a permanent loss of capital in only a few
positions over the first three years, and most holdings have positive returns versus our cost basis. Avoiding major losses is just as critical as our top contributors. Our record in this area highlights our value discipline and focus on
risk-adjusted returns.
The drawdown and subsequent recovery was a good testing ground of our core principles. The true mettle of the Funds
investment strategy will only
show itself on the other side of a market downturn, but we believe our strategy of holding quality businesses at inexpensive prices is sound. Any market pullback would be an opportunity to deploy
more capital at better prices. Having gone through our own mini-bear market and recovery in the Fund in only three years, we are confident that sticking to our core philosophy will yield strong long-term results.
CONCLUSION
The current bull market began in March 2009,
more than eight years ago. Valuations are expensive across the majority of asset classes, generally a dangerous time for investors. We make no attempt to predict the timing of the next major downturn, but instead emphasize our bottom-up investment process. If the bull market carries on, we will lean on our go-anywhere approach, as we believe it gives us the best possible chance of uncovering the
remaining pockets of value. If a downturn occurs, we are well prepared with a collection of high quality businesses and ample cash to take advantage of cheaper prices.
At the three-year mark, we have generated both positive absolute returns and outperformed our benchmark while holding excess cash in the Fund. We believe
there remains significant value embedded in the Funds portfolio which is only beginning to shine through. Our objective remains to produce attractive risk-adjusted returns over a full market cycle, and we appreciate our shareholders who
entrust us with capital in pursuit of this long-term goal.

Because a funds strategy may result
in multiple investments in particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend on the performance of those sectors and may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across more sectors. For additional information on these and
other risk considerations, please see the Funds prospectus.
Any sectors, industries, or securities discussed should not be perceived as investment
recommendations. Mention of a specific security should not be considered a recommendation to buy or solicitation to sell that security. Specific securities mentioned in this report may have been sold from the Funds portfolio of investments by

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
AMG Funds (the Trust), is an open-end management investment company, organized as a Massachusetts business
trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). Currently, the Trust consists of a number of different funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks, and
policies. Included in this report are AMG Yacktman Fund (Yacktman Fund), AMG Yacktman Focused Fund (Yacktman Focused), AMG Yacktman Focused FundSecurity Selection Only (Yacktman Focused Selection Only) and
AMG Yacktman Special Opportunities (Yacktman Special Opportunities), each a Fund and collectively the Funds.
Yacktman
Focused Selection Onlys commencement of operations was on January 30, 2017.
Yacktman Fund has established three classes of shares: Investor
Class, Service Class and Institutional Class, which, effective October 1, 2016 were renamed Class N, Class I and Class Z, respectively. Currently, Yacktman Fund offers only Class I shares. Yacktman Focused has
established three classes of shares: Investor Class, Service Class and Institutional Class, which, effective October 1, 2016 were renamed Class N, Class S and Class I, respectively. Effective February 27, 2017,
Class S was renamed Class N. Currently, Yacktman Focused offers Class N shares and Class I shares. Yacktman Focused Selection Only has established two classes of shares: Class N and Class I. Yacktman Special
Opportunities has established three classes of shares: Investor Class, Service Class and Institutional Class, which, effective October 1, 2016, were renamed Class N, Class I and Class Z, respectively. Yacktman Special
Opportunities currently offers Class I shares and 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.
Yacktman Focused, Yacktman Focused Selection Only, and Yacktman Special
Opportunities are non-diversified. A greater percentage of the Funds holdings may be focused in a smaller number of securities which may place the Funds at greater risk than a more diversified fund.
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 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 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 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 AMG Funds LLC (the Investment Manager) the Pricing Committee, which is comprised of representatives from 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 Boards 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 Trusts 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
41
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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, broker-quoted securities, fair valued securities with observable inputs)
Level 3
inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds 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. 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. 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.
d. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Fund
distributions resulting from either net investment income or realized net capital gains, if any, will normally be declared and paid at least annually in December, as described in the Funds prospectus. Distributions to shareholders are recorded
on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial statement purposes (U.S. GAAP). Differences may be
permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in
reclassifications to paid-in capital. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense and gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these
differences will reverse at some time in the future. Permanent differences are due to redesignation of dividends paid by the Funds. Temporary differences are due to wash sale loss deferrals.
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, 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 Funds understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for the foreign jurisdictions in
which it
42
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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 December 31, 2016, and 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 June 30, 2017, the Funds had no accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from securities transactions for federal income tax
purposes. Should
the Funds incur net capital losses for the year ending December 31, 2017, such amounts may be used to
offset future realized capital gains for an unlimited time period.
g. CAPITAL STOCK
The Trusts 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. The cost of securities contributed to the Funds in connection with the issuance of shares is based on the valuation of these securities in accordance with the Funds
policy on investment valuation. The Funds 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 60 days of the purchase of those shares. For the six
months ended June 30, 2017, Yacktman Fund and Yacktman Focused had redemption fees amounting to $54,828 and $52,088, respectively. These amounts are netted against the cost of shares repurchased in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
For the six months ended June 30,
2017 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 2016, the capital stock transactions by class for the Funds were as follows:

At June 30, 2017, certain unaffiliated shareholders of record, including omnibus accounts, individually or collectively
held greater than 10% of the net assets of the Funds as follows: Yacktman Fund - three collectively own 58%; Yacktman Focused - two collectively own 54%; Yacktman Focused Selection Only - two collectively own 99%; Yacktman Special Opportunities -
four collectively own 78%. Transactions by these shareholders may have a material impact on their respective Funds.
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
June 30, 2017, the market value of Repurchase Agreements outstanding for Yacktman Fund, Yacktman Focused, Yacktman Focused Selection Only and Yacktman Special Opportunities were $17,701,770, $3,894,778, $9,714 and $164,186, respectively.
i. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The books and records of
the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The value of investments, assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon current foreign exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign
investments, income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based on currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions represent:
(1) foreign exchange gains and losses from the sale and holdings of foreign currencies; (2) gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions; and (3) gains and losses from the difference between
amounts of interest and dividends recorded and the amounts actually received.
The Funds do not isolate the net realized and unrealized gain or loss resulting from changes in exchange rates
from the fluctuations in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
j. FOREIGN SECURITIES
The Funds invest in securities of
foreign entities and in instruments denominated in foreign currencies which involve risks not typically associated with investments in domestic securities. Non-domestic securities carry special risks, such as
exposure to currency fluctuations, less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability, a lack of company information, differing auditing and legal standards, and, potentially, less liquidity.
Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the Fund level 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 subadvisers for
the Funds (subject to Board approval) and monitors each subadvisers investment performance, security holdings and investment strategies. Each Funds investment portfolio is managed by Yacktman Asset Management LP (Yacktman),
who serves pursuant to a subadvisory agreement with the Investment Manager. AMG indirectly owns a majority interest in Yacktman.
44

0.60% on the next $500 million and 0.55% on the balance over $1 billion for Yacktman Fund and 1.00% for Yacktman Focused, based on each Funds respective average daily net assets.
Yacktman Special Opportunities has a performance-based fee structure that consists of a base fee and a performance adjustment (Performance
Adjustment). Effective October 1, 2016, the Fund pays a monthly base investment management fee to the Investment Manager at an annual rate of
1.37% of the Funds average daily net assets for the month. Prior to October 1, 2016, the annual rate for the monthly base investment management fee
was 1.50%. This monthly fee was increased or reduced by the Performance Adjustment, based on the Funds performance relative to the MSCI ACWI All Cap Index over the then preceding twelve months. The Performance Adjustment Rate for the Fund may
not exceed plus or minus 0.75%. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Performance Adjustment increased management fee by a net amount of $80,005, resulting in the Fund paying the Investment Manager at an effective rate of 1.68%.
The Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2018, to waive management fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in order to limit
total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest (including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody overdrafts), brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, acquired
fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) of Yacktman Focused Class N to 1.25% of the Funds average daily net assets subject to later reimbursement by the Fund in certain circumstances.

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.
In general, for a period of up to 36 months, the Investment Manager may recover from Yacktman Focused, Yacktman Focused Selection Only, and Yacktman Special
Opportunities, fees waived and expenses paid pursuant to this contractual agreement, provided that such repayment would not cause the Funds total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of the items
noted in the parenthetical above) to exceed the contractual expense limitation amount. As of June 30, 2017, Yacktman Focused had no reimbursement available for repayment.

The Investment Manager has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee in consideration of shareholder servicing fees that it has received from JPMorgan
Distribution Services, Inc., with respect to short-term cash investments the Funds may have made in JPMorgan U.S. Government Money Market Fund, Capital Shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the investment management fee for Yacktman
Fund and Yacktman Focused was reduced by $428,611 and $207,331, respectively.
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 Funds prospectus. Effective October 1, 2016, each Fund pays a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.15% per annum of
the Funds average daily net

assets for this service. Prior to October 1, 2016, the Funds (except Yacktman Focused Selection Only) paid
an administration fee under a similar contract at an annual rate of 0.03% of each Funds average net assets for the first $300 million of assets under management, 0.025% for the next $200 million and 0.02% on amounts in excess of
$500 million.
The Funds are distributed by AMG Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment
Manager. The Distributor serves as the distributor and underwriter for each Fund and is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). Shares of each Fund will be continuously offered
and will be sold directly to prospective purchasers and through brokers, dealers or other financial intermediaries who have executed selling agreements with the Distributor. Generally the Distributor bears all 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.
For Yacktman Fund Class I shares, Yacktman Focused Class N shares, Yacktman Focused Selection Only Class N shares and Yacktman Special
Opportunities Class I 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), banks, and trust companies who provide shareholder recordkeeping, account servicing and other services. The Class N and Class I shares may reimburse the
Investment Manager for the actual amount incurred up to a maximum annual rate of each Classs average daily net assets as shown in the table below.

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 the Funds to lend and borrow money for certain temporary
purposes directly to and from other eligible funds in the AMG Funds family. Participation in this interfund lending program is voluntary for both the borrowing and lending funds, and an interfund
loan is only made if it benefits each participating fund. The 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 six months ended June 30, 2017, the following Funds either borrowed from or lent to other Funds in the AMG Funds family: Yacktman
Fund lent varying amounts not exceeding $22,802,753 for three days earning interest of $1,304; Yacktman Focused lent varying amounts not exceeding $4,187,214 for nine days earning interest of $565; and Yacktman Special Opportunities lent varying
amounts not exceeding $1,020,894 for six days earning interest of $145. The interest amount is included in the Statement of Operations as interest income. For the period ended June 30, 2017, Yacktman Focused Selection Only neither borrowed from
nor lent to other funds in the AMG Funds family. At June 30, 2017, the Funds had no interfund loans outstanding.

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
46
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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 June 30, 2017, the value of the securities loaned and cash collateral received, were as follows.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Under the Trusts 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. MASTER NETTING AGREEMENTS
The Funds
may enter into master netting agreements with their counterparties for the securities lending program 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 transactions, see Note 4.

Funds open Repurchase Agreements that are subject to a master netting agreement as of June 30, 2017:

7. REGULATORY UPDATES
On October 13, 2016, the SEC amended existing rules intended to modernize reporting and disclosure of information. These amendments relate to Regulation S-X which sets forth the form and content of financial statements. Management has evaluated the implications of adopting these amendments and has determined there is no material impact on the financial statements
and accompanying notes.
8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds have determined that no material events or transactions occurred through the issuance date of the Funds financial statements, which require an
additional disclosure in or adjustment of the Funds financial statements.

Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements
(unaudited)
AMG Yacktman Focused Fund, AMG Yacktman Fund and AMG Yacktman Special Opportunities Fund: Approval of Investment
Management and Subadvisory Agreements on June 28-29, 2017.
At an
in-person meeting held on June 28-29, 2017, the Board of Trustees (the Board or the Trustees), and separately a majority of the Trustees who
are not interested persons of the Trust (the Independent Trustees), approved (i) the Investment Management Agreement, as amended pursuant to letter agreements at any time prior to the date of the meeting, with AMG Funds
LLC (the Investment Manager) for each of AMG Yacktman Focused Fund, AMG Yacktman Fund and AMG Yacktman Special Opportunities Fund (each, a Fund, and collectively, the Funds) and separately each of Amendment
No. 1 thereto dated July 1, 2015, and Amendment No. 2 thereto dated October 1, 2016 (collectively, the Investment Management Agreement) and (ii) the Subadvisory Agreement, as amended at any time prior to the date of
the meeting, with the Subadviser for each Fund (collectively, the Subadvisory Agreement). The Independent Trustees were separately represented by independent legal counsel in connection with their consideration of the approval of these
agreements. In considering the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed a variety of materials relating to the Funds, the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, including comparative performance, fee and
expense information for an appropriate peer group of similar mutual funds (each, a Peer Group), performance information for relevant benchmark indices (each, a Fund Benchmark) and, as to all other matters, other information
provided to them on a periodic basis throughout the year, as well as information provided in connection with the meetings of June 28-29, 2017, regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by
the Investment Manager and the Subadviser under their respective agreements. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees: (a) reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel and with management; (b) received materials
from their
independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements; and (c) met with their independent legal
counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.
NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees reviewed information relating to the Investment
Managers operations and personnel. Among other things, the Investment Manager provided financial information, biographical information on its supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure.
The Trustees also took into account information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Investment Manager in Board meetings relating to the performance of its duties with respect to the Funds and the Trustees knowledge of
the Investment Managers management and the quality of the performance of the Investment Managers duties under the Investment Management Agreement and Administration Agreement. In the course of their deliberations regarding the Investment
Manager, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the extent and quality of the Investment Managers oversight of the operation and management of the Funds; (b) the quality of the Investment Managers oversight of the
performance by the Subadviser of its portfolio management duties; (c) the Investment Managers ability to supervise the Funds other service providers; and (d) the Investment Managers compliance program. The Trustees also
took into account that, in performing its functions under the Investment Management Agreement and supervising the Subadviser, the Investment Manager: performs periodic detailed analyses and reviews of the performance by the Subadviser of its
obligations to each Fund, including without limitation, analysis and review of portfolio and other compliance matters and review of the Subadvisers investment performance with respect to each Fund; prepares and presents periodic reports to
the Board regarding the investment performance of the Subadviser and other information regarding the Subadviser, at such times and in such forms as the Board may reasonably request; reviews and
considers any changes in the personnel of the Subadviser responsible for performing the Subadvisers obligations and makes appropriate reports to the Board; reviews and considers any changes in the ownership or senior management of the
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 the Subadviser;
assists the Board and management of the Trust in developing and reviewing information with respect to the initial approval of the Subadvisory Agreement and annual consideration of the Subadvisory Agreement thereafter; prepares recommendations with
respect to the continued retention of the Subadviser or the replacement of the Subadviser, including at the request of the Board; identifies potential successors to or replacements of the 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 Management
Agreement and applicable law. 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 Management Agreement and the Investment Managers undertaking to maintain a contractual expense limitation for AMG Yacktman Special Opportunities Fund and Class N
shares of AMG Yacktman Focused Fund. The Trustees also considered the Investment Managers risk management processes.
49
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Subadvisers financial condition, operations and
personnel and the investment philosophy, strategies and techniques (its Investment Strategy) used in managing each Fund. Among other things, the Trustees reviewed biographical information on portfolio management and other professional
staff, information regarding the Subadvisers organizational and management structure and the Subadvisers brokerage policies and practices. The Trustees considered specific information provided regarding the experience of the individuals
at the Subadviser with portfolio management responsibility for each Fund, including the information set forth in the Funds prospectus and statement of additional information. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees evaluated, among
other things: (a) the services rendered by the Subadviser in the past; (b) the qualifications and experience of the Subadvisers personnel; and (c) the Subadvisers compliance program. The Trustees also took into account the
financial condition of the Subadviser with respect to its ability to provide the services required under the Subadvisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered the Subadvisers risk management processes.
PERFORMANCE.
As noted above, the Board considered each
Funds net performance during relevant time periods as compared to the Funds Peer Group and Fund Benchmark and considered the gross performance of the Fund as compared to the Subadvisers 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 Funds performance results and portfolio composition, as well as the Subadvisers Investment Strategy. The
Board noted the Investment Managers expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance of the Subadviser. The Board was mindful of the Investment Managers attention to monitoring the
Subadvisers performance with respect to the Funds and its discussions with management
regarding the factors that contributed to the performance of the Funds.
With respect to AMG
Yacktman Focused Fund, among other information relating to the Funds performance (including the predecessor funds performance for periods prior to its acquisition by the Trust on June 29, 2012), the Trustees noted that the
Funds 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, above, below and above, respectively, the median performance for the
Peer Group and below, below, below and above, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. The Trustees took into account managements discussion of the Funds performance, including the reasons for the
Funds more recent underperformance. The Trustees also noted that Class N shares of the Fund ranked in the second quintile relative to its Peer Group for the 3-year period and in the top decile
relative to its Peer Group for the 10-year period. The Trustees concluded that the Funds overall performance has been satisfactory.
With respect to AMG Yacktman Fund, among other information relating to the Funds performance (including the predecessor funds performance for
periods prior to its acquisition by the Trust on June 29, 2012), the Trustees noted that the Funds performance for Class I shares for the 1-year, 3-year,
5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2017 was below, at, below and above, respectively, the median performance for the Peer Group and below, below, below and
above, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. The Trustees took into account managements discussion of the Funds performance, including the reasons for the Funds more recent underperformance.
The Trustees also noted that Class I shares of the Fund ranked at the cusp of the top half relative to its Peer Group for the 3-year period and in the top decile relative to its Peer Group for the 10-year period. The Trustees concluded that the Funds
overall performance has been satisfactory.
With respect to AMG Yacktman Special Opportunities Fund,
among other information relating to the Funds performance, the Trustees noted that the Funds performance for Class Z 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 period ended March 31, 2017 and for the period from the Class Z shares inception on June 30, 2014 through March 31, 2017 was above the median performance
for the Peer Group and above the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the MSCI ACWI All Cap Index. The Trustees took into account managements discussion of the Funds performance, and noted that Class Z shares of the Fund ranked in the
top decile relative to its Peer Group for the 1-year period and in the second quintile relative to its Peer Group since inception. The Trustees concluded that the Funds overall performance has been
satisfactory.
ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY FEES AND PROFITABILITY.
In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee payable to the Investment Manager, the Trustees 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 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 from the Subadviser to
50
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)
the Investment Manager, and any other payments made or to be made from the Investment Manager to the Subadviser. The Trustees also considered managements discussion of the current asset
levels of the Funds, and the impact on profitability.
In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Investment Manager under the Investment
Management Agreement and the profitability to the Investment Manager of its relationship with each Fund, the Trustees noted the undertaking by the Investment Manager to maintain a contractual expense limitation for AMG Yacktman Special Opportunities
Fund and Class N shares of AMG Yacktman Focused Fund. The Board also took into account managements discussion of the advisory fee structure, and, as noted above, the services the Investment Manager provides in performing its functions
under the Investment Management Agreement and supervising the Subadviser. 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 fee at this time. Also with respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that as each Funds 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 considering the reasonableness of
the subadvisory fees payable by the Investment Manager to the Subadviser, the Trustees reviewed information regarding the cost to the Subadviser of providing subadvisory services to each Fund and the resulting profitability from the relationships.
The Trustees noted that, because the Subadviser is an affiliate of the Investment Manager, a portion of the Subadvisers 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. The Board also took into account managements discussion of the subadvisory fee structure, and the services the Subadviser provides in performing its functions
under the Subadvisory Agreement and the differences in, among other things, portfolio composition, cash holdings, security holdings, strategy, diversification and dispersion between the Funds.
Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Subadviser is reasonable and that the Subadviser is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the advisory and subadvisory
fees at this time. Also with respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that as a Funds 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.
With respect to AMG Yacktman Focused Fund, the Trustees noted that the Funds 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 Funds Peer Group. The
Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2018, to limit the Funds net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 1.25% for Class N shares. The
Trustees also took into account managements discussion of the Funds expenses and competitiveness with 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 (which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Funds advisory and
subadvisory fees are reasonable.
With respect to AMG Yacktman Fund, the Trustees noted that the Funds management fees (which include both the
advisory and administration fees) and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) as of March 31, 2017 were both lower than the average for the Funds Peer Group. The Trustees concluded that, in light
of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser (which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), and the considerations noted above with
respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Funds advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
With respect to AMG Yacktman Special
Opportunities Fund, the Trustees noted that the Funds 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 Funds Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2018, to limit the Funds net annual
operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.12%. The Trustees also took into account managements discussion of the Funds expenses and competitiveness with 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 (which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the
Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Funds advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.
* * *
*
After consideration of the foregoing, the Trustees also reached the following conclusions (in addition to the conclusions discussed above)
regarding the Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements: (a) the Investment Manager has demonstrated that it possesses the resources and capability to perform its duties under the Investment Management Agreement; (b) the Subadviser
has the resources to perform its duties under the Subadvisory Agreement and is qualified to manage each Funds assets in accordance with its investment objectives and policies; and (c) the Investment Manager and Subadviser maintain appropriate
compliance programs.
51
Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements
(continued)
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 Management Agreement and the 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 Management and the Subadvisory
Agreements for each Fund.

Semi-Annual ReportJune 30, 2017 (unaudited)
Nothing contained herein is to be considered an offer, sale or solicitation of an offer to buy shares of any series of the AMG
Funds Family of mutual funds. Such offering is made only by prospectus, which includes details as to offering price and other material information.
About Your Funds Expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales
charges (loads) on purchase payments; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs
(in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the following
table provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value
by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account
during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense
ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Funds 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.

Total return equals income yield plus share price change and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns are net of fees and may reflect offsets of Fund expenses as described in the
prospectus. No adjustment has been made for taxes payable by shareholders on their reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions. Returns for periods greater than one year are annualized. The listed returns on the Funds are net of expenses and
based on the published NAV as of June 30, 2017. All returns are in U.S. dollars ($). |

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. |
3 |
The Fund is subject to the risks associated with investments in emerging markets, such as erratic earnings patterns, economic and political instability, changing exchange controls, limitations on repatriation of foreign
capital and changes in local governmental attitudes toward private investment, possibly leading to nationalization or confiscation of investor assets. Such risks may be magnified for securities in frontier emerging markets. Such risks may be

4 |
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. |
5 |
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. |
6 |
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 |
Companies that are in similar businesses may be similarly affected by particular economic or market events; to the extent the Fund has substantial holdings within a particular sector, the risks associated with that
sector increase. |
8 |
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. |
9 |
A short-term redemption fee of 2% will be charged on shares held for less than 60 days. |

other risk considerations, please see the Funds prospectus.
Any sectors, industries, or securities discussed should not be perceived as investment
recommendations. Mention of a specific security should not be considered a recommendation to buy or solicitation to sell that security. Specific securities mentioned in this report may have been sold from the Funds portfolio of investments by

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
AMG Funds (the Trust) is an open-end management investment company, organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). Currently, the Trust consists of a number of different funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks, and policies. Included in this report is AMG
TimesSquare Emerging Markets Small Cap Fund (the Fund). The Funds commencement of operations was on December 15, 2016.
The Fund
offers three classes of shares: Class N, which commenced operations on February 27, 2017, Class I and Class Z. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund. Although all share classes generally have identical voting
rights, each share class votes separately when required by law. Different share classes may pay different distribution amounts to the extent the net asset value per share and/or the expenses of such share classes differ. Each share class has its own
expense structure. Please refer to a current prospectus for additional information on each share class.
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 Fund in the
preparation of its financial statements:
a. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS
Equity securities including Exchange Traded Funds 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 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 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 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 the AMG Funds LLC (Investment Manager) are the committees appointed by the Board to
make fair value determinations. The 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 Boards 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 Trusts 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 Fund. 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.
15
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
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, broker-quoted
securities, fair valued securities with observable inputs)
Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds 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 Fund becomes aware of the ex-dividend date, except for Korean securities where dividends are recorded on confirmation date. 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 the 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 gains and losses, the common expenses of the 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 the Fund.
d. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Fund distributions resulting from either net investment income or realized net capital gains, if any, will normally be declared and paid at least annually in
December, as described in the Funds prospectus. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax
regulations, which may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial statement purposes (U.S. GAAP). Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the
financial statements to reflect their tax character. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital. Temporary differences arise when certain items of
income, expense and gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Permanent differences are due to expenses disallowed for tax purposes and
gains/losses on foreign currency. Temporary differences are due to gains/losses on foreign currency and mark-to-market of passive foreign investment companies.
e. FEDERAL TAXES
The Fund expects to qualify as an
investment company and intends to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, 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 the Funds understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for the foreign jurisdictions in
which it invests, the Fund will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign taxes.
Management has analyzed the Funds tax
positions 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 June 30, 2017, the Fund had no accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers from securities transactions for federal income tax purposes. Should
the Fund incur net capital losses for the year ending December 31, 2017, such amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains, for an unlimited time period.
16
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
g. CAPITAL STOCK
The Trusts Declaration of Trust authorizes for the Fund the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. The Fund
records sales and repurchases of its capital stock on the trade date. The cost of securities contributed to the Fund in connection with the issuance of shares is
based on the valuation of those securities in accordance with the Funds policy on investment valuation.
The Fund 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 60 days of the purchase of those shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the
Fund received no redemption fees.
For the six months ended June 30,
2017 (unaudited) and the year ended December 31, 2016, the capital stock transactions by class were as follows:

At June 30, 2017, certain unaffiliated shareholders of record, including omnibus accounts, individually or collectively
held greater than 10% of the net assets of the Fund as follows: four own 91%. Transactions by these shareholders may have a material impact on the Fund.
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 June 30, 2017, the market value of Repurchase Agreements outstanding was $56,476.
i. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The books and records of
the Fund 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 holding of foreign currencies; (2) gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions and (3) gains and losses from the difference
between amounts of interest and dividends recorded and the amounts actually received.
The Fund does 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.
17
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
j. FOREIGN SECURITIES
The Fund invests 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 Funds investments in emerging market countries are exposed to additional risks. A Funds 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.
k. ORGANIZATIONAL AND OFFERING COSTS
The Investment Manager incurred and directly paid organizational and offering costs on behalf of the Fund in the amount of $89,627, which will be repaid by the
Fund for the full amount thereof. Organizational costs in the amount of $5,265 were expensed in the fiscal period ended December 31, 2016. Offering costs of $84,362 were deferred and are being amortized on the straight-line method over a period
of one year from the commencement of operations. The amount of organizational and offering costs owed by the Fund to the Investment Manager is reflected as a Payable to affiliate on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
2. AGREEMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
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 Fund and is responsible
for the Funds overall administration and operations. The Investment Manager selects one or more subadvisers for the Fund (subject to Board approval) and monitors each subadvisers investment performance, security holdings and investment
strategies. The investment portfolio is managed by TimesSquare Capital Management, LLC (TimesSquare) who serves pursuant to a subadvisory agreement with the Investment Manager. AMG indirectly owns a majority interest in TimesSquare.
Investment management fees are paid directly by the Fund to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30,
2017, the Fund paid an investment management fee at the annual rate of 0.95% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.
The Investment Manager has
contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2018, to waive management fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in order to limit total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest
(including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody overdrafts), shareholder servicing fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary
expenses) of the Fund to 1.25% of the Funds average daily net assets subject to later reimbursement by the Fund in certain circumstances. The contractual expense
limitation may only be terminated in the event the Investment Manager or a successor ceases to be the investment manager of the Fund or a successor fund, by mutual agreement between the
Investment Manager and the Board, or in the event of the Funds 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.
In general, for a period of up to 36 months, the Investment Manager may recover from the Fund, fees waived and expenses paid pursuant to this contractual
agreement, provided that such repayment would not cause the Funds total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of the items noted in the parenthetical above) to exceed the contractual expense
limitation amount.
At June 30, 2017, the Funds expiration of recoupment is as follows:

The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, 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 the Fund as
further described in the Funds prospectus. The Fund pays a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.15% per annum of the Funds average daily net assets for this service.
The Fund is distributed by AMG Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Manager. The Distributor serves
as the distributor and underwriter for the Fund and is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (FINRA). Shares of the 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 advertising or sales literature.
The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a distribution and service plan (the Plan) with respect to the Class N shares of the Fund 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, the Fund may make payments to the Distributor for its expenditures in
financing any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of Class N of the Funds shares and for maintenance and personal service provided to existing shareholders of that class. The Plan authorizes payments to the Distributors up to
0.25% annually of the Funds average daily net assets attributable to Class N. The Plan further provides for periodic payments by the Fund 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 N shares for shareholder servicing may not exceed an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of the Funds shares
of that class owned by clients of such broker, dealer or financial intermediary.
18
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
For the Class N and Class I 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), banks, and trust companies
who provide shareholder recordkeeping, account servicing and other services. There are no shareholder servicing fees authorized for Class Z. The Class N and Class I shares may reimburse the Investment Manager for the actual amount incurred up to a
maximum annual rate of the Classs average daily net asset value as shown in the table below.

six months ended June 30, 2017, were as follows:

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 Fund are Officers and/or Directors of the Investment Manager, AMG and/or the Distributor.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) has granted an exemptive order that permits the Fund to lend and borrow money for certain
temporary purposes directly to and from other eligible funds in the AMG Funds family. Participation in this interfund lending program is voluntary for both 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 six months ended June 30, 2017, the Fund did not borrow from nor lend to any other fund in the AMG Funds family. At June 30, 2017, the Fund had no interfund loans
outstanding.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term securities and U.S. Government Obligations) for the six months ended June 30, 2017, were
$2,076,447 and $1,455,851, respectively. The Fund had no purchases or sales of U.S. Government Obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
4. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED
The Fund participates 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 Fund, 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 Fund 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 Fund is 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 June 30, 2017, the value of securities on loan and cash collateral was $55,131 and $56,476, respectively.
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Under the Trusts
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 Fund may enter into contracts and
agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the Fund under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund
that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund had no prior claims or losses and expects the risks of loss to be remote.
6. MASTER
NETTING AGREEMENTS
The Fund may enter into master netting agreements with their counterparties for the securities lending program 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 Fund does not offset financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to master netting agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For securities lending transactions, see Note 4.
