Summary

Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (AMG) filed a Current Report (8-K) on July 31, 2017, primarily to furnish its earnings press release for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The filing's main purpose is to provide investors with the company's financial and operating results for the period. Specific financial statement tables within the press release are officially filed with the SEC, meaning they are subject to specific securities laws, while the rest of the press release is furnished, a less formal disclosure mechanism.
