Summary

Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (AMG) reported its second-quarter 2022 financial results, showing a slight increase in Net income attributable to controlling interest to $109.4 million, up from $109.0 million in the prior year's comparable quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, Net income attributable to controlling interest was $255.4 million, a slight decrease from $258.9 million in the same period last year. Consolidated revenue saw a modest increase of 3% for the quarter, driven by performance-based fees, though this was partially offset by a decrease in asset-based fees. However, total consolidated expenses also rose by 3% due to higher compensation and intangible amortization costs. The company's Assets Under Management (AUM) decreased by 9% year-over-year to $690.9 billion as of June 30, 2022, impacted by market declines and foreign exchange. Despite the overall AUM decrease, AMG noted continued demand for return-oriented strategies and net inflows in areas like private markets and ESG, while experiencing outflows in certain equity strategies consistent with industry trends. The company also announced a significant event: the pending sale of its equity interest in Baring Private Equity Asia (BPEA) to EQT AB, expected to close in Q4 2022, which will result in cash proceeds and EQT shares, with a portion earmarked for taxes, expenses, and debt repayment, and the remainder for growth investments and share repurchases.
