Supplement dated June 25, 2021 to the Summary Prospectus, dated May 1, 2021

The following information supplements and supersedes any information to the contrary relating to AMG Yacktman Focused Fund – Security Selection Only (the “Fund”), a series of AMG Funds (the “Trust”), contained in the Fund’s Summary Prospectus (the “Summary Prospectus”), dated as noted above.

At a meeting held on June 23, 2021 (the “Meeting”), the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) approved the following changes for the Fund, all of which will be implemented on July 1, 2021 (the “Implementation Date”): (i) the Fund will change its name from AMG Yacktman Focused Fund – Security Selection Only to AMG Yacktman Global Fund; (ii) the Fund will change its principal investment strategies; and (iii) the Fund will replace its primary benchmark index with the MSCI World Index and remove its secondary benchmark index.

The Board also approved the following fee changes for the Fund, all of which will be implemented on the Implementation Date and will result in the overall reduction of the Fund’s net expenses ratios as compared with the Fund’s current fee structure: (i) the management fee for the Fund will be reduced from 0.87% to 0.71%; and (ii) the Fund’s existing contractual expense limitation agreement with AMG Funds LLC (“AMGF”) will be replaced with a new contractual expense limitation agreement with AMGF pursuant to which AMGF will agree, through at least May 1, 2023, to limit total annual operating expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest (including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody overdrafts and in connection with securities sold short), shareholder servicing fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, dividends payable with respect to securities sold short, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) of the Fund to the annual rate of 0.93% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, subject to later reimbursement by the Fund in certain circumstances. AMGF pays a portion of the management fee to the Fund’s subadviser for its services.

Effective on the Implementation Date, the Summary Prospectus is revised as follows:

All references to AMG Yacktman Focused Fund – Security Selection Only are replaced with AMG Yacktman Global Fund.

The sections titled “Fees and Expenses of the Fund” and “Expense Example” on page 1 are deleted and replaced with the following:

AMG Funds LLC (the “Investment Manager”) has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2023, to waive management fees and/or pay or reimburse the Fund’s 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 and in connection with securities sold short), shareholder servicing fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, dividends payable with respect to securities sold short, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) of the Fund to the annual rate of 0.93% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (this annual rate or such other annual rate that may be in effect from time to time, the “Expense Cap”), subject to later reimbursement by the Fund in certain circumstances. In general, for a period of up to 36 months after the date any amounts are paid, waived or reimbursed by the Investment Manager, the Investment Manager may recover such amounts from the Fund, provided that such repayment would not cause the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursements (exclusive of the items noted in the parenthetical above) to exceed either (i) the Expense Cap in effect at the time such amounts were paid, waived or reimbursed, or (ii) the Expense Cap in effect at the time of such repayment by the Fund. 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 AMG Funds Board of Trustees or in the event of the Fund’s liquidation unless the Fund is reorganized or is a party to a merger in which the surviving entity is successor to the accounting and performance information of the Fund.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE

This Example will help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund to the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example makes certain assumptions. It assumes that you invest $10,000 as an initial investment in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. It also assumes that your investment has a 5% total return each year and the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Example includes the Fund’s contractual expense limitation through May 1, 2023. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on the above assumptions, your costs would be:

 

     1 Year        3 Years        5 Years        10 Years  

Class N

   $ 106      $ 339      $ 595      $ 1,330  

Class I

   $ 95      $ 304      $ 536      $ 1,203  

The sixth and seventh paragraphs in the section titled “Principal Investment Strategies” beginning on page 1 are deleted and replaced with the following:

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 35% (or if conditions are not favorable, in the view of Yacktman, at least 25%) of its net assets in investments economically tied to countries other than the U.S., and the Fund will hold investments economically tied to a minimum of three countries other than the U.S. The Fund considers an investment to be economically tied to a country other than the U.S. if it provides investment exposure to a non-U.S. issuer. The Fund considers a company to be a non-U.S. issuer if (i) it is organized outside the U.S. or maintains a principal place of business outside the U.S., (ii) its securities are traded principally outside the U.S., or (iii) during its most recent fiscal year, it derived at least 50% of its revenues or profits from goods produced or sold, investments made, or services performed outside the U.S. or it has at least 50% of its assets outside the U.S.

In the section titled “Performance” beginning on page 3, the following is added after the first paragraph:

As of July 1, 2021, the Fund changed its name to “AMG Yacktman Global Fund,” adopted its current investment strategies and began comparing its performance to the MSCI World Index. The Fund’s performance information for periods prior to July 1, 2021 reflects the Fund’s investment strategy that was in effect at that time and may have been different had the Fund’s current investment strategy been in effect.


The Average Annual Total Returns table in the section titled “Performance” beginning on page 3 is deleted and replaced with the following:
