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 Fund’s Expenses

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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Investors should carefully consider the Fund’s 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.

^*	Not annualized.

^†	Date reflects the inception date of the Fund.

^†^†	Date reflects the inception date of Class I.

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 Fund’s advisor has waived its fees and/or absorbed Fund expenses, which has resulted in higher returns.

The Fund is subject to the risks associated with investments in debt securities, such as default risk and fluctuations in the perception of the debtor’s 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	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.

⁵	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.

⁶

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 issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments. The issuers of the Fund’s holdings may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations, or financial restructurings, and are not as strong financially as higher-rated issuers.

⁷	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.

⁸	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.

⁹	Effective February 27, 2017, Class S was renamed Class N.

¹⁰

The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index is an index of investment-grade government and corporate bonds with a maturity rate of more than one year. Unlike the Fund, the Barclays U.S. Government/ Credit Bond Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses.

¹¹	A short-term redemption fee of 1% will be charged on redemptions of fund shares held for 60 days or less.

¹²

The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index provides a broad-based measure of the global investment-grade fixed income markets. The three major components of this index are the U.S. Aggregate, the Pan-European Aggregate, and the Asian-Pacific Aggregate Indices. The Index also includes Eurodollar and Euro-Yen corporate bonds, Canadian government, agency and corporate securities, and USD investment-grade 144A securities. Unlike the Fund, the Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index is unmanaged, is not available for investment, and does not incur expenses.

¹³	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.

¹⁴	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.

¹⁵	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.

Fund Performance (continued)

¹⁶	The Russell 2000^® Growth Index measures the performance of the Russell 2000^® companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Unlike the Fund, the index is

unmanaged, is not available for investment and does not incur expenses.

Credit quality ratings shown above reflect the highest rating assigned by either Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”). 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 fund’s 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s portfolio of investments by the time you receive this report.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

AMG Funds III (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 Managers Loomis Sayles Bond Fund (“Bond”), AMG Managers Global Income Opportunity Fund (“Global Income Opportunity”) and AMG Managers Special Equity Fund (“Special Equity”), each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds.”

Each Fund offers different classes of shares, which, effective October 1, 2016 were renamed or redesignated. Both Bond and Special Equity previously offered Service Class shares and Institutional Class shares which were renamed to Class S and Class I, respectively; and Global Income Opportunity shares were reclassified and redesignated Class S. Effective February 27, 2017, Class S shares were renamed to Class N 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 may 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 the Pricing Committee, which is comprised of representatives from 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 Board’s 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 Trust’s 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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, swap contracts, 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 Fund’s 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 Fund 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.

Special Equity 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 Fund’s overall expense ratio. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the impact on the expense ratios, if any, was $6,414 or less than 0.00%.

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 currency gains/losses, redesignation of dividends and current year write-off of a net operating loss. Temporary differences are due to differing treatments for losses deferred due to excise tax regulations, contingent preferred debt instruments and wash sales.

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 Fund’s 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 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.


		Capital Loss Carryover Amounts				Expires
Fund		Short-Term		Long-Term		December 31,
Global Income Opportunity
(Pre-Enactment)		$	1,019,810		—		2017
(Pre-Enactment)			1,033,512		—		2018
(Post-Enactment)			159,760	$	287,528		unlimited

	Totals	$	2,213,082	$	287,528

Special Equity
(Pre-Enactment)		$	111,353,924		—		2017

As of June 30, 2017, Bond 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, for an unlimited time period.

g. CAPITAL STOCK

The Trust’s 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. Global Income Opportunity will deduct a 1.00% 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 had redemption fees amounting to $848. This amount is netted against the cost of shares repurchased in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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: Bond - two own 64%; Global Income Opportunity - three own 61%; Special Equity - two own 54%. 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 Bond, Global Income Opportunity and Special Equity were $20,829,227, $829,318 and $25,671,163, respectively.

i. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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 subadviser’s investment performance, security holdings and investment strategies. Each Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by one or more portfolio managers who serve pursuant to a subadvisory agreement with the Investment Manager.

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 Fund’s respective average daily net assets:


Bond	0.625	%
Global Income Opportunity	0.550	%
Special Equity	0.900	%

Prior to October 1, 2016, the annual rate for the investment management fees were 0.625%, 0.700% and 0.900% of each Fund’s average daily net assets of Bond, Global Income Opportunity and Special Equity, 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), brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) of Global Income Opportunity to 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 Board, 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.

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) of Bond and Special Equity to 0.89% and 1.11%, respectively, of each Fund’s 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 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.

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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s expiration of recoupment are as follows:


Expiration Period	Bond		Global Income Opportunity		Special Equity
Less than 1 year^*	$	382,486	$	182,649	$	331,063
Within 2 years		969,595		169,463		350,274
Within 3 years		192,919		84,212		152,907

Total Amount Subject To Recoupment	$	1,545,000	$	436,324	$	834,244

^*	A portion of this represents the expiration amount through the year ended December 31, 2017 of $46,929, $105,394 and $186,099 for Bond, Global Income Opportunity and Special Equity, 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 Fund’s prospectus. Effective October 1, 2016, each Fund pays a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.15% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets for this service. Prior to October 1, 2016, Bond, Global Income Opportunity and Special Equity paid an administration fee under a similar contract at an annual rate of 0.25%, 0.20% and 0.25%, respectively, of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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 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 intermediaries such as broker-dealers (including fund supermarket platforms), banks, and trust companies that provide shareholder recordkeeping, account servicing and other services. Class N and Class I shares may reimburse the Investment Manager for the actual amount incurred up to a maximum annual rate of the Class’s average daily net assets as shown in the table below.

The impact on the annualized expense ratios for the six months ended June 30, 2017, were as follows:


Fund	Maximum Annual Amount Approved			Actual Amount Incurred
Bond
Class N^*		0.15	%		0.10	%
Class I^**		0.05	%		0.00	%
Special Equity
Class N		0.25	%		0.25	%

*	Effective October 1, 2016, the maximum annual rate was increased to 0.15% from 0.10% for Class N shares.

**	Effective October 1, 2016, Class I shares were authorized, to reimburse up to a maximum annual rate of 0.05%.

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”) 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: Special Equity lent a maximum of $2,537,119 for three days earning interest of $371. The interest amount is included in the Statement of Operations as interest income. Special Equity borrowed a maximum of $2,203,352 for five days paying interest of $472. 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.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, Special Equity executed security transactions with other funds affiliated with Lord, Abbett & Co., LLC, one of the Fund’s subadvisers. Each of the transactions were executed at the closing price of the security transacted and with no commissions under Rule 17a-7 procedures approved by the Board. The amounts purchased and sold during the six months ended June 30, 2017, are reflected in the following chart:


	Number of Transactions		Total Quantity		Cost/Proceeds
Purchases		5		1,811	$	81,280
Sales^*		1		900		107,055

^*	Realized gain was $49,019.

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 as follows:


	Long-Term Securities
Fund	Purchases		Sales
Bond	$	33,912,663	$	180,206,911
Global Income Opportunity		3,629,035		6,039,892
Special Equity		82,480,616		106,332,683


	U.S. Government Obligations
Fund	Purchases		Sales
Bond		—	$	172,521
Global Income Opportunity	$	1,710,364		1,067,470
Special Equity		—		—

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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

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:


Fund	Securities Loaned		Cash Collateral Received
Bond	$	20,228,516	$	20,829,227
Global Income Opportunity		793,650		829,318
Special Equity		25,012,278		25,671,163

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Under the Trust’s 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 expects the risk of loss to be remote.

6. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH YIELD SECURITIES

Investing in high yield securities involves greater risks and considerations not typically associated with U.S. Government and other high quality/investment grade securities. High yield securities are generally below investment grade securities and do not have an established retail secondary market. Economic downturns may disrupt the high yield market and impair the issuer’s ability to repay principal and interest. Also, an increase in interest rates would likely have an adverse impact on the value of such obligations and could cause the securities to become less liquid.

7. FORWARD COMMITMENTS

Certain transactions, such as futures and forward transactions, dollar roll agreements, or purchases of when-issued or delayed delivery securities may have a similar effect on a Fund’s net asset value as if a Fund had created a degree of leverage in its portfolio. However, if a Fund enters into such a transaction, a Fund will establish a segregated account with its custodian in

which it will maintain cash, U.S. Government securities or other liquid securities equal in value to its obligations in respect to such transaction. Securities and other assets held in the segregated account may not be sold while the transaction is outstanding, unless other suitable assets are substituted.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The following disclosures contain information on how and why Global Income Opportunity uses derivative instruments, the credit risk and how derivative instruments affect the Fund’s financial position and results of operations. The location and fair value amounts of these instruments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the realized 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 Schedule of Portfolio Investments.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the average quarterly balances of derivative financial instruments outstanding were as follows:


Foreign currency exchange contracts:	Global Income Opportunity
Average U.S. Dollar amounts purchased/sold	$	8,036,985

9. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, Global Income Opportunity invested in forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risk on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities.

A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between a fund and another party to buy or sell a currency at a set price at a future date. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily, and the change in market value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

10. MASTER NETTING AGREEMENTS

The Funds may enter into master netting agreements with their counterparties for the securities lending program, Repurchase Agreements and derivative instruments, 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

The following table is a summary of the Funds’ open Repurchase Agreements and derivatives that are subject to master netting agreements 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 related to Regulation S-X which sets forth the form and content of financial statements. At this time, Management has evaluated the implications of adopting these amendments and has determined there is no material 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 Special Equity Fund, AMG Managers Global Income Opportunity Fund and AMG Managers Loomis Sayles Bond Fund (formerly AMG Managers 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”), 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 Managers Special Equity Fund, AMG Managers Global Income Opportunity Fund and AMG Managers Loomis Sayles Bond Fund (formerly AMG Managers Bond 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, 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, with respect to each applicable Subadviser, comparative performance information for an appropriate peer group of managed accounts, 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 Manager’s 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 Manager’s management and the quality of the performance of the Investment Manager’s 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 Manager’s 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 Manager’s ability to supervise the Funds’ other service providers; and (d) the Investment Manager’s 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 Subadviser’s 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 Subadviser’s 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 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 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 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 Manager’s

Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)

undertaking to maintain contractual expense limitations for the Funds. The Trustees also considered the Investment Manager’s risk management processes.

The Trustees also reviewed information relating to each Subadviser’s operations and personnel and the investment philosophy, strategies and techniques (for each Subadviser, its “Investment Strategy”) used in managing a Fund or the portion of a Fund for which the Subadviser has portfolio management responsibility. Among other things, the Trustees reviewed biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, information regarding each Subadviser’s organizational and management structure and each Subadviser’s brokerage policies and practices. The Trustees considered specific information provided regarding the experience of the individuals at each Subadviser with portfolio management responsibility for a Fund or the portion of a Fund managed by the Subadviser, including the information set forth in the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information. With respect to AMG Managers Special Equity Fund, which is managed by multiple Subadvisers, the Trustees also noted information provided by the Investment Manager regarding the manner in which each Subadviser’s Investment Strategy complements those utilized by the Fund’s other Subadvisers. 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 Subadviser’s personnel; and (c) the Subadviser’s 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 Subadviser’s risk management processes.

PERFORMANCE.

As noted above, the Board considered each Fund’s net performance during relevant time periods as compared to each Fund’s Peer Group and Fund Benchmark and considered each applicable

Subadviser’s performance as compared to an appropriate peer group of managed accounts and also considered the gross performance of the Fund or the portion of the Fund managed by each Subadviser as compared to the Subadviser’s 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 Fund’s performance results and portfolio composition, as well as the Subadviser’s Investment Strategy, including, with respect to AMG Managers Special Equity Fund, the portion of the Fund managed by each Subadviser. The Board noted the Investment Manager’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance of each Subadviser. The Board also noted each Subadviser’s performance record with respect to AMG Managers Special Equity Fund. The Board was mindful of the Investment Manager’s attention to monitoring each Subadviser’s performance with respect to the Funds and its discussions with management regarding the factors that contributed to the performance of the Funds.

ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY 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 Fund’s Subadviser’s 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 amount of the advisory fee retained by the Investment Manager after payment of the subadvisory fee with respect to each Fund. 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 the Funds.

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 all of the Funds from time to time as a means of limiting total expenses. The Trustees also considered management’s 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. The Board took into account management’s 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

Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)

as a Fund’s 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 each Subadviser, the Trustees relied on the ability of the Investment Manager to negotiate the terms of the Subadvisory Agreement at arm’s length as part of the manager-of-managers structure, noting that the Investment Manager is not affiliated with any of the Subadvisers. In addition, the Trustees considered other potential benefits of the subadvisory relationship to a Subadviser, including, among others, the indirect benefits that the Subadviser may receive from the Subadviser’s relationship with a Fund, including any so-called “fallout benefits” to the Subadviser, such as reputational value derived from the Subadviser serving as Subadviser to 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 each Subadviser and the profitability to each 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 a Fund or the portion of a Fund managed by the Subadvisers to be a material factor in their deliberations at this time.

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 Special Equity Fund

Fund Performance.

Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s 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 above, above, above and below, respectively, the median performance of the Peer Group and above, below, below and below, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Russell 2000^® Growth Index. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including its more recent improved performance relative to its Fund Benchmark. The Trustees also noted that Class N shares of the Fund ranked in the second quartile relative to its Peer Group for the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year periods. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance has been satisfactory.

Advisory and Subadvisory Fees.

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s 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 Fund’s Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2018, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 1.11%. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s 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 Subadvisers, the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadvisers, the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

AMG Managers Global Income Opportunity Fund

Fund Performance.

Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Class N shares for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2017 was above, at, above and above, respectively, the median performance of the Peer Group and above the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, noting that the Class N shares of Fund outperformed the Fund Benchmark for all relevant time periods and ranked in the second quartile relative to its Peer Group for the 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance has been satisfactory.

Advisory and Subadvisory Fees.

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s 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 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 Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.89%. The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses and the current size of the Fund. 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 Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

Annual Renewal of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements (continued)

AMG Managers Bond Fund

Fund Performance.

Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s 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 above the median performance of the Peer Group and above, below, above and above, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including the Fund’s recent improved performance relative to its Peer Group and Fund Benchmark. The Trustees also noted that Class N shares of the Fund ranked in the top decile relative to its Peer Group for the 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance has been satisfactory.

Advisory and Subadvisory Fees.

The Trustees noted that the Fund’s 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 Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.89%. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s 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, the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Fund’s 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 Agreements; (b) each Subadviser’s Investment Strategy is appropriate for pursuing the applicable Fund’s 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 and the Subadvisory Agreements for each Fund.
