As compensation for the investment management services rendered and related expenses under the Management Agreement, each Fund has agreed to pay the Investment Manager an investment management fee equal to 0.88% of the value of the net assets of the Fund.

servicing. The administrative and shareholder services to be provided include, but are not limited to, processing and/or coordinating Fund share purchases and redemptions, responding to inquiries from shareholders, providing omnibus level support for financial intermediaries who perform sub-accounting for shares held of record by financial intermediaries for the benefit of other beneficial owners and other general and administrative responsibilities for the Funds.

2  AMG Funds LLC (the “Investment Manager”) has contractually agreed, through at least March 1, 2017, to waive management fees and/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), 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 the annual rate of 0.89% of the Fund’s 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 AMG Funds I 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 March 1, 2017. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on the above assumptions, your costs would be:

   $ 164       $ 514       $ 889       $ 1,941

1  Expense information has been restated to reflect current fees.
2  AMG Funds LLC (the “Investment Manager”) has contractually agreed, through at least March 1, 2017, to waive management fees and/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), 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 the annual rate of 1.05% of the Fund’s 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 AMG Funds I 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 March 1, 2017. 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

   $ 158       $ 546       $ 960       $ 2,115

The Fund’s past performance would have been different if the Fund were managed by the current subadvisor using the current investment strategies and policies, and the performance record might be less pertinent for investors considering whether to purchase shares of the Fund. Effective October 1, 2016, outstanding Investor Class and Institutional Class shares of the Fund were renamed Class N and Class Z shares, respectively. As always, past performance of the Fund (before and after taxes) is not an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The second paragraph in the section under “Summary of the Funds – AMG GW&K Core Bond Fund” titled “Performance” is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

Class N and Class Z shares would have similar annual returns as Class I shares (formerly Service Class shares, which were renamed Class I shares on October 1, 2016) because all of the classes are invested in the same portfolio of securities. However, Class N and Class Z shares are subject to different expenses than Class I shares, and Class N and Class Z share performance would vary to that extent.
