10 DISCLOSURES & GLOSSARY Investors should carefully consider the Fund s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. For this and other information, please call or visit for a free prospectus. Read it carefully before investing or sending money. 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 the 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. For performance information through the most recent month end please call or visit our website at From time to time, the advisor has waived fees or reimbursed expenses, which may have resulted in higher returns. The listed returns and yields of the Fund are net of expenses, and the returns and yields of the indices exclude expenses. 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. 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. A greater percentage of the Fund s holdings may be focused in a smaller number of securities which may place the Fund at greater risk than a more diversified fund. 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. 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. Top Ten Holdings: Mention of a specific security should not be considered a recommendation to buy or solicitation to sell that security. Future Holdings Risk: Any sectors, industries or securities discussed should not be perceived as investment recommendations. The views expressed represent the opinions of AMG Funds LLC and are not intended as a forecast or guarantee of future results. Any securities discussed may no longer be held in an account s portfolio. Both current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk. It should not be assumed that any of the securities transactions discussed were or will prove to be profitable, or that the investment recommendations we make in the future will be profitable. Data Sources: BoNY, FactSet, Bloomberg and ICE Data Analytics. The Russell 2500 Index measures the performance of the small to mid-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe, commonly referred to as "smid" cap. The Russell 2500 Index is a subset of the Russell 3000 Index. It includes approximately 2500 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell 2500 Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the small to mid-cap segment. The Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the true small to mid-cap opportunity set. The Russell Midcap Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which represent approximately 25% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index. Unlike the Fund, the Indices are unmanaged, are not available for investment and do not incur expenses. AMG Funds are distributed by AMG Distributors, Inc., a member of FINRA/SIPC PT576-SUP
