2008 Senior Convertible Notes

        In August 2008, the Company issued $460,000 of senior convertible notes due 2038 ("2008 senior convertible notes"). The 2008 senior convertible notes bear interest at 3.95%, payable semi-annually in cash. The Company is accreting the carrying value to the principal amount at maturity using an interest rate of 7.4% (over its expected life of five years). Each security is convertible into 7.959 shares of the Company's common stock (at an initial conversion price of $125.65) upon the occurrence of certain events, as follows: (i) during any fiscal quarter, if the closing price of the Company's common stock, as measured over a specified time period during the preceding fiscal quarter, is equal to or greater than 130% of the conversion price of the notes on the last day of such preceding fiscal quarter; (ii) during a certain window of time, if the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the notes for each day during a specified period is less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock and the conversion rate of the notes on such day; (iii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions; (iv) after the notes have been called for redemption; and (v) anytime after February 15, 2038. Upon conversion, the Company may elect to pay cash, deliver shares of its common stock, or a combination thereof. The holders of the 2008 senior convertible notes may require the Company to repurchase the notes in August of 2013, 2018, 2023, 2028 and 2033.

        Deferred tax liabilities are primarily the result of tax deductions for the Company's intangible assets and convertible securities. The Company amortizes most of its intangible assets for tax purposes only, reducing its tax basis below its carrying value for financial statement purposes and generating deferred taxes each reporting period. The Company's junior convertible trust preferred securities and

2008 senior convertible notes also generate deferred taxes because the Company's tax deductions are higher than the interest expense recorded for financial statement purposes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

        In the second quarter of 2010, in connection with the closing of the investments in Artemis, Pantheon and Aston (discussed further in Note 17)18), the Company recorded deferred tax liabilities. As the Company's investment in Pantheon is deductible in the United States, but is not deductible outside the United States; the Company recorded a deferred tax liabilityliabilities of $51,917. As the Company's investment in Aston was tax-freeapproximately $132,000 for Highbury's shareholders, the Company only recorded a deferred tax liability of $13,171 because most of its acquired intangible assets that were not deductible for tax purposes.purposes in foreign jurisdictions or the United States.

        At JuneSeptember 30, 2010, the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards that expire over a 15-year period beginning in 2010. The Company also has foreign tax credit carryforwards that expire over a 10-year period beginning in 2010. The valuation allowances at December 31, 2009 and JuneSeptember 30, 2010 were principally related to the uncertainty of the realization of the foreign tax credits and the state net operating loss carryforwards, which realization depends upon the Company's generation of sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration.

        At JuneSeptember 30, 2010, the Company's liability for uncertain tax positions was $22,150,$23,062, including interest and related charges of $3,918.$3,731. The Company does not anticipate that this liability will change significantly over the next twelve months.

7.     Earnings Per Share

        The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, but adjusts for the dilutive effect of the potential issuance of incremental shares of the Company's common stock. The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share available to common stockholders. Unlike all other dollar amounts in these Notes, the amounts in the numerator reconciliation are not presented in thousands.

        As more fully discussed in Notes 3 and 4, the Company had certain convertible securities outstanding during the periods presented and is required to apply the if-converted method to these securities in its calculation of diluted earnings per share. Under the if-converted method, shares that are issuable upon conversion are deemed outstanding, regardless of whether the securities are



AFFILIATED MANAGERS GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


contractually convertible into the Company's common stock at that time. For this calculation, the interest expense (net of tax) attributable to these dilutive securities is added back to Net Income (controlling interest) reflecting the assumption that the securities have been converted. Issuable shares for these securities and related interest expense are excluded from the calculation if an assumed conversion would be anti-dilutive to diluted earnings per share.

        The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 and 2010 excludes the potential exercise of options to purchase 2.10.9 million and 0.81.8 million common shares, respectively, because the effect would be anti-dilutive. The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 and 2010 excludes the potential exercise of options to purchase 2.12.6 million and 1.21.8 million common shares, respectively, because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

        As discussed further in Note 19,20, the Company may settle portions of its Affiliate equity purchases in shares of its common stock. Because it is the Company's intent to settle these potential repurchases in cash, the calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes any potential dilutive effect from possible share settlements.

8.     Commitments and Contingencies

        The Company and its Affiliates are subject to claims, legal proceedings and other contingencies in the ordinary course of their business activities. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved in a manner unfavorable to the Company or its Affiliates. The Company and its Affiliates establish accruals for matters for which the outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that any liability in excess of these accruals upon the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

        Certain Affiliates operate under regulatory authorities which require that they maintain minimum financial or capital requirements. Management is not aware of any violations of such financial requirements occurring during the period.

        In connection with its Pantheon investment, (discussed further in Note 17), the Company has committed to co-invest in certain Pantheon investment partnerships where it serves as the general partnerpartner. As of September 30, 2010, these commitments totaled approximately $97,964 and may be called in future periods. Russell Investments (Pantheon's former owner) is contractually obligated to reimburse the Company for $72,703 of these commitments when they are called. As of June 30, 2010, these commitments totaled approximately $97,000 and may be called in future periods.

9.     Investments in Partnerships

        The activity in the Affiliate investments in consolidated partnerships was as follows for the six months ended June 30, 2010:

AFFILIATED MANAGERS GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

        Management fees earned from these partnerships were $200 and $227 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively, and $362 and $469 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

        As of December 31, 2009 and JuneSeptember 30, 2010, the Affiliates' investments in partnerships that are not consolidated were $17,631 and $94,656,$108,318, respectively. These assets are reported within "Other assets"Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The income or loss related to these investments is classified within "Investment and other (income) loss"income" in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

        During the third quarter of 2010, the Company modified the governance provisions of certain investment partnerships that were previously consolidated. As a result, the Company deconsolidated these partnerships, which were previously reported as Investments in partnerships.

11.   Unsettled Fund Share Receivables and Payables

        Unsettled fund share receivables and payables are created by the normal settlement periods on transactions initiated by certain clients of Affiliate funds domiciled in the United Kingdom. The gross presentation of the receivable ($55,817)57,046) and offsetting payable ($50,446)54,302) reflects the legal relationship between the underlying investor and the Company.

12.   Fair Value Measurements

        The Company determines the fair value of certain investment securities and other financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. Fair value is determined based on the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the most advantageous market, utilizing a hierarchy of three different valuation techniques:

        During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, there were no significant transfers of financial assets between Level 1 and Level 2. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, financial assets valued at $3,709 transferred from Level 3 to Level 2. The fair value of Level 2 assets was determined using quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets.markets, by model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs were observable in active markets or by using net asset value as a practical expedient. The fair value of Level 3 assets was determined using net asset value one quarter in arrears (adjusted for current period calls and distributions) for certain of the Company's investments accounted for under the equity method. The fair value of Level 3 liabilities werewas determined using an income approach with assumptions made about future cash flows and discount rates.

        Any change in the fair value of Affiliate investments in consolidated partnerships is presented as "Investment (income) loss from investments in partnerships" in the Consolidated Statements of Income. However, the portion of this income or loss that is attributable to investors that are unrelated to the Company, if any, is reported as "Net (income) loss (non-controlling interests in partnerships)."

notes receivable approximates fair value because interest rates and other terms are at market rates. The carrying value of notes payable approximates fair value principally because of the short-term nature of the notes. The carrying value of senior bank debt approximates fair value because the debt is a credit facility with variable interest based on selected short-term rates. The fair market value of the 2008 senior convertible notes, and the 2006 and 2007 junior convertible trust preferred securities at JuneSeptember 30, 2010 was $448,500$469,775 and $509,224,$572,341, respectively.

13.   Related Party Transactions

        The Company periodically records amounts receivable and payable to Affiliate partners in connection with the transfer of Affiliate equity interests. As of December 31, 2009 and JuneSeptember 30, 2010, the total receivable (reported in "Other assets") was $45,253 and $40,945,$44,588, respectively.

        The Company's Net Income (controlling interest) for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 includes compensation expense of $1,943$2,219 and $4,184,$6,402, respectively (net of income tax benefits of $1,216$1,389 and $2,619,$4,008, respectively, related to the Company's share-based compensation arrangements). As of JuneSeptember 30, 2010, the deferred compensation expense related to share-based compensation arrangements was $40,622$47,382 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately four years (assuming no forfeitures). As of JuneSeptember 30, 2010, 0.50.2 million options have expiration dates prior to the end of 2010.

15.   Derivative Financial Instruments

        The Company periodically uses derivative contracts to manage interest rate exposure associated with its variable interest rate debt. In September 2010, the Company entered into forward starting interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $50,000, which became effective October 1, 2010 and expire on October 1, 2015. The Company receives payments based on LIBOR and makes payments based on a weighted average annual fixed rate of 1.66% on the notional amount. Certain of the Company's derivative contracts contain provisions that require the Company or the counterparties to post collateral based upon the current fair value of the derivative contracts. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had posted collateral of $600.

        The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. As cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss on the derivative instruments is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Hedge effectiveness is measured by comparing the present value of the cumulative change in the expected future variable cash flows of the hedged contract with the present value of the cumulative change in the expected future variable cash flows of the hedged item. To the extent that the critical terms of the hedged item and the derivative are not identical, hedge ineffectiveness would be reported in earnings as interest expense. Hedge ineffectiveness was not material in any periods presented. As of September 30, 2010, the unrealized loss (before taxes) on the derivative instruments was $566, and the Company does not expect to reclassify any portion of the unrealized loss into earnings in the next twelve months. The fair value of the derivative instruments has been presented within other long-term liabilities.



AFFILIATED MANAGERS GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

        The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Interest rate swaps are intended to enable the Company to achieve a level of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt that is acceptable to management and to limit interest rate exposure.

16.   Segment Information

        Management has assessed and determined that the Company operates in three business segments representing the Company's three principal distribution channels: Mutual Fund, Institutional and High Net Worth, each of which has different client relationships.

        Revenue in the Mutual Fund distribution channel is earned from advisory and sub-advisory relationships with all domestically-registered investment products as well as non-institutional investment



AFFILIATED MANAGERS GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


products that are registered abroad. Revenue in the Institutional distribution channel is earned from relationships with foundations and endowments, defined benefit and defined contribution plans and Taft-Hartley plans. Revenue in the High Net Worth distribution channel is earned from relationships with high net worth individuals, family trusts and managed account programs.

        Revenue earned from client relationships managed by Affiliates accounted for under the equity method is not consolidated with the Company's reported revenue but instead is included (net of operating expenses, including amortization) in "Income from equity method investments," and reported in the distribution channel in which the Affiliate operates. Income tax attributable to the profits of the Company's equity-method Affiliates is reported within the Company's consolidated income tax provision.

        In firms with revenue sharing arrangements, a certain percentage of revenue is allocated for use by management of an Affiliate in paying operating expenses of that Affiliate, including salaries and bonuses, and is called an "Operating Allocation." In reporting segment operating expenses, Affiliate expenses are allocated to a particular segment on a pro rata basis with respect to the revenue generated by that Affiliate in such segment. Generally, as revenue increases, additional compensation is typically paid to Affiliate management partners from the Operating Allocation. As a result, the contractual expense allocation pursuant to a revenue sharing arrangement may result in the characterization of any growth in profit margin beyond the Company's Owners' Allocation as an operating expense. All other operating expenses (excluding intangible amortization) and interest expense have been allocated to segments based on the proportion of cash flow distributions reported by Affiliates in each segment.

        During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the Company purchased the investment advisory and administrative servicing contracts for four mutual funds from Allianz Global Investors Capital LLC. The purchase price was allocated to non-amortized acquired client relationships.

        For the Company's Affiliates that are consolidated, definite-lived acquired client relationships are amortized over their expected useful lives. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2010, these relationships were being amortized over a weighted average life of approximately 10 years. The Company estimates that its consolidated annual amortization expense will be approximately $82,000 for the next five years, assuming no additional investments in new or existing Affiliates.

        The definite-lived acquired client relationships attributable to the Company's equity method investments are amortized over their expected useful lives. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2010, these relationships were being amortized over approximately seven years. Amortization expense for these relationships was $16,136$24,119 for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010. The Company estimates that the annual amortization expense attributable to its current equity-method Affiliates will be approximately $32,000 for the next five years assuming no additional investments in new or existing Affiliates.

        Duringadministrative expenses during the quarter, the Company also completed its investment in Aston Asset Management LLC ("Aston") through the acquisition of Highbury Financial Inc., Aston's parent company. Based in Chicago, Aston offers sub-advised investment products to the mutual fund and managed accounts markets. Aston is the principal advisor to the Aston Funds, a fund family of 24 sub-advised, no-load mutual funds.

Pantheon Purchase Price Allocation

        The Company has not yet completed its valuation of Pantheon and, therefore, the Company's purchase price allocation is provisional. These provisional amounts may be revised upon completion of the valuation. The excess of the enterprise value over the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, of which 91%, 8% and 1% was attributed to the Company's Institutional, Mutual Fund and High Net Worth segments, respectively. The goodwill and acquired client relationships are deductible for U.S. tax purposes over a 15-year life. The provisional allocation of the purchase price is as follows:

        As part of this investment, the Company is contingently liable to make payments totaling between zero and $225,000 over the next three to five years upon the achievement of specified revenue targets. The Company measured the provisional fair value of the contingent payment obligation using a financial model that included assumptions of expected market performance and net client cash flows. Based on these assumptions, the Company projects contingent payments totaling $26,300. As of Junenine months ended September 30, 2010 the present value of these payments was $15,300. This amount is reported in "Other long-term liabilities."

Aston Purchase Price Allocation

        The Company has not yet completed its valuation of Aston and therefore, the Company's purchase price allocation is provisional. These provisional amounts may be revised upon completion of the valuation. The excess of the enterprise value over the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, of which 98% and 2% was attributed to the Company's Mutual Fund and High Net Worth segments,September 30, 2009, respectively.

18.19.   Recent Accounting Developments

        During the first quarter of 2010, the Company adopted a new standard that requires an enterprise to perform a qualitative analysis to determine whether its variable interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity ("VIE"). Under the standard, an enterprise has a controlling financial interest when it has (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. An enterprise that holds a controlling financial interest is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate the VIE. This new standard has been deferred for certain entities that utilize the specialized accounting guidance for investment companies or that have the attributes of investment companies. The adoption of the portions of this new standard that were not deferred did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

        During the first quarter of 2010, the Company adopted a new standard that eliminated the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity ("QSPE"), changed the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and required additional disclosures to enhance information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets, including an entity's



AFFILIATED MANAGERS GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

continuing involvement in and exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. The standard also clarified the requirements for isolation and limitations on portions of financial assets that are eligible for sale accounting. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

19.20.   Affiliate Equity

        Many of the Company's operating agreements provide Affiliate managers a conditional right to require the Company to purchase their retained equity interests at certain intervals. Certain agreements also provide the Company a conditional right to require Affiliate managers to sell their retained equity



AFFILIATED MANAGERS GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


interests to the Company upon their death, permanent incapacity or termination of employment and provide Affiliate managers a conditional right to require the Company to purchase such retained equity interests upon the occurrence of specified events. The purchase price of these conditional purchases are generally calculated based upon a multiple of the Affiliate's cash flow distributions, which is intended to represent fair value. Affiliate management partners are also permitted to sell their equity interests to other individuals or entities in certain cases, subject to the Company's approval or other restrictions.

        The Company may pay for Affiliate equity purchases in cash, shares of its common stock or other forms of consideration and can consent to the transfer of these interests to other individuals or entities. The Company's cumulative redemption obligation for these interests has been presented as "Redeemable non-controlling interests" on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the value of the Company's cumulative redemption obligation are recorded to Additional paid-in capital. The following table presents the changes in Redeemable non-controlling interests during the period:

Balance as of January 1, 2010

 $368,999  $368,999 

Issuance of Redeemable non-controlling interest

 $344,020 

Balance as of September 30, 2010

        Although the timing and amounts of these purchases are difficult to predict, the Company expects to repurchase approximately $100,000 of Affiliate equity during the next twelve months, and, in such event, will own the cash flow associated with any equity repurchased.

        During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 and 2010, the Company acquired interests from and transferred interests to Affiliate management partners. The following schedule discloses the effect of changes in the Company's ownership interest in its Affiliates on the controlling interest's equity:

Forward-Looking Statements

        When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in our other filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, in our press releases and in oral statements made with the approval of an executive officer, the words or phrases "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "may," "intends," "believes," "estimate," "project" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including, among others, the following:

        These factors (among others) could affect our financial performance and cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated and projected. We will not undertake and we specifically disclaim any obligation to release publicly the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of events, whether or not anticipated. In that respect, we wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.

Overview

        We are a global asset management company with equity investments in a diverse group of boutique investment management firms (our "Affiliates"). We pursue a growth strategy designed to generate shareholder value through the internal growth of our existing business, additional investments in investment management firms and strategic transactions and relationships structured to enhance our Affiliates' businesses and growth prospects.

        As of JuneSeptember 30, 2010, we manage approximately $249$280 billion in assets through our Affiliates in more than 350 investment products across a broad range of asset classes and investment styles in three principal distribution channels: Mutual Fund, Institutional and High Net Worth. We believe that our diversification across asset classes, investment styles and distribution channels helps to mitigate our exposure to the risks created by changing market environments. The following summarizes our operations in our three principal distribution channels.


New Investments

        In September 2010, we announced an agreement to acquire a majority interest in Trilogy Global Advisors, LLC ("Trilogy"). Trilogy manages assets for institutional and retail clients specializing in emerging and global market strategies. As of September 30, Trilogy had approximately $14 billion in assets under management.

        On June 30, 2010, we completed our investment in Pantheon Ventures Inc., Pantheon Holdings Limited and Pantheon Capital (Asia) Limited (collectively, "Pantheon"). Pantheon manages regional funds-of-funds in Europe, the United States and Asia, as well as global secondary funds-of-funds, global infrastructure fund-of-funds and customized separate account programs.

        On April 15, 2010, we completed our investment in Aston Asset Management LLC ("Aston") through the acquisition of Highbury Financial Inc., Aston's parent company. Based in Chicago, Aston offers sub-advised investment products to the mutual fund and managed accounts markets. Aston is the principal advisor to the Aston Funds, a fund family of 24 sub-advised, no-load mutual funds.

        On March 15, 2010, we completed our investment in Artemis Investment Management Ltd ("Artemis") in combination with the management team of Artemis. Artemis specializes in active investment management for retail and institutional investors in the UK, as well as Europe and the Middle East, across a range of mutual funds and segregated institutional accounts.

Our Structure and Relationship with Affiliates

        We operate our business through our Affiliates in our three principal distribution channels, maintaining each Affiliate's distinct entrepreneurial culture and independence through our investment structure. In making investments in boutique investment management firms, we seek to partner with the highest quality firms in the industry, with outstanding management teams, strong long-term performance records and a demonstrated commitment to continued growth and success. Fundamental to our investment approach is the belief that Affiliate management equity ownership (along with AMG's ownership) aligns our interests and provides Affiliate managers with a powerful incentive to continue to grow their business. Our investment structure provides a degree of liquidity and diversification to principal owners of boutique investment management firms, while at the same time expanding equity ownership opportunities among the firm's management and allowing management to continue to participate in the firm's future growth. Our partnership approach also ensures that



Affiliates maintain operational autonomy in managing their business, thereby preserving their firm's entrepreneurial culture and independence.


        Although the specific structure of each investment is highly tailored to meet the needs of a particular Affiliate, in all cases, AMG establishes a meaningful equity interest in the firm, with the remaining equity interests retained by the management of the Affiliate. Each Affiliate is organized as a separate firm, and its operating or shareholder agreement is structured to provide appropriate incentives for Affiliate management owners and to address the Affiliate's particular characteristics while also enabling us to protect our interests, including through arrangements such as long-term employment agreements with key members of the firm's management team.

        In most cases, we own a majority of the equity interests of a firm and structure a revenue sharing arrangement, in which a percentage of revenue is allocated for use by management of that Affiliate in paying operating expenses of the Affiliate, including salaries and bonuses. We call this the "Operating Allocation." The portion of the Affiliate's revenue that is allocated to the owners of that Affiliate (including us) is called the "Owners' Allocation." Each Affiliate allocates its Owners' Allocation to its managers and to us generally in proportion to their and our respective ownership interests in that Affiliate. However, should actual operating expenses exceed the Operating Allocation, the excess expenses first reduce the portion of the Owners' Allocation allocated to the Affiliate's managers until that portion is eliminated, before reducing the portion allocated to us. Any such reduction in our portion of the Owners' Allocation is required to be paid back to us out of the portion of future Owners' Allocation allocated to the Affiliate's managers.

        One of the purposes of our revenue sharing arrangements is to provide ongoing incentives for Affiliate managers by allowing them to participate in the growth of their firm's revenue, which may increase their compensation from both the Operating Allocation and the Owners' Allocation. These arrangements also provide incentives to control operating expenses, thereby increasing the portion of the Operating Allocation that is available for growth initiatives and compensation.

        An Affiliate's Operating Allocation is structured to cover its operating expenses. However, should actual operating expenses exceed the Operating Allocation, our contractual share of cash under the Owners' Allocation generally has priority over the allocations and distributions to the Affiliate's managers. As a result, the excess expenses first reduce the portion of the Owners' Allocation allocated to the Affiliate's managers until that portion is eliminated, before reducing the portion allocated to us. Any such reduction in our portion of the Owners' Allocation is required to be paid back to us out of the portion of future Owners' Allocation allocated to the Affiliate's managers.

        Our minority investments are also structured to align our interests with those of the Affiliate's management through shared equity ownership, as well as to preserve the Affiliate's entrepreneurial culture and independence by maintaining the Affiliate's operational autonomy. In cases where we hold a minority investment, the revenue sharing arrangement generally allocates a percentage of the Affiliate's revenue to us. The remaining revenue is used to pay operating expenses and profit distributions to the other owners.

        Certain of our Affiliates operate under profit-based arrangements through which we own a majority of the equity in the firm and receive a share of profits as cash flow, rather than a percentage of revenue through a typical revenue sharing agreement. As a result, we participate fully in any increase or decrease in the revenue or expenses of such firms. In these cases, we participate in a budgeting process and generally provide incentives to management through compensation arrangements based on the performance of the Affiliate.

        We are focused on establishing and maintaining long-term partnerships with our Affiliates. Our shared equity ownership gives both AMG and our Affiliate partners meaningful incentives to manage



their businesses for strong future growth. From time to time, we may consider changes to the structure of our relationship with an Affiliate in order to better support the firm's growth strategy.


        Through our affiliated investment management firms, we derive most of our revenue from the provision of investment management services. Investment management fees ("asset-based fees") are usually determined as a percentage fee charged on periodic values of a client's assets under management; most asset-based advisory fees are billed by our Affiliates quarterly. Certain clients are billed for all or a portion of their accounts based upon assets under management valued at the beginning of a billing period ("in advance"). Other clients are billed for all or a portion of their accounts based upon assets under management valued at the end of the billing period ("in arrears"). Most client accounts in the High Net Worth distribution channel are billed in advance, and most client accounts in the Institutional distribution channel are billed in arrears. Clients in the Mutual Fund distribution channel are billed based upon average daily assets under management. Advisory fees billed in advance will not reflect subsequent changes in the market value of assets under management for that period but may reflect changes due to client withdrawals. Conversely, advisory fees billed in arrears will reflect changes in the market value of assets under management for that period.

        In addition, over 50 Affiliate alternative investment and equity products, representing approximately $32$33 billion of assets under management (as of JuneSeptember 30, 2010), also bill on the basis of absolute or relative investment performance ("performance fees"). These products, which are primarily in the Institutional distribution channel, are often structured to have returns that are not directly correlated to changes in broader equity indices and, if earned, the performance fee component is typically billed less frequently than an asset-based fee. Although performance fees inherently depend on investment results and will vary from period to period, we anticipate performance fees to be a recurring component of our revenue. We also anticipate that, within any calendar year, the majority of any performance fees will typically be realized in the fourth quarter.

        For certain of our Affiliates, generally where we own a non-controlling interest, we are required to use the equity method of accounting. Consistent with this method, we have not consolidated the operating results of these firms (including their revenue) in our Consolidated Statements of Income. Our share of these firms' profits (net of intangible amortization) is reported in "Income from equity method investments," and is therefore reflected in our Net Income (controlling interest) and EBITDA. As a consequence, increases or decreases in these firms' assets under management (which totaled $55.4$64.9 billion as of JuneSeptember 30, 2010) will not affect reported revenue in the same manner as changes in assets under management at our other Affiliates.

        Our Net Income attributable to controlling interest reflects the revenue of our consolidated Affiliates and our share of income from Affiliates which we account for under the equity method, reduced by:

        As discussed above, for consolidated Affiliates with revenue sharing arrangements, the operating expenses of the Affiliate as well as its managers' non-controlling interest generally increase (or decrease) as the Affiliate's revenue increases (or decreases) because of the direct relationship established in many of our agreements between the Affiliate's revenue and its Operating Allocation and Owners' Allocation. At our consolidated profit-based Affiliates, expenses may or may not correspond to increases or decreases in the Affiliates' revenues.


        Our level of profitability will depend on a variety of factors, including:

        Our assets under management increased significantly during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of new Affiliate investments in Artemis, Aston and Pantheon. Our investments in Pantheon and Artemis (in the second and first quarters of 2010, respectively) further diversified our business by increasing our exposure to alternative product offerings that we anticipate will be uncorrelated to equity markets (in the case of Pantheon) and global/international product offerings (in the case of Pantheon and Artemis). Our investment in Pantheon also provides a


stable revenue stream because Pantheon charges management fees on the capital committed to its funds, not the value of the funds. Our investment in Aston, which closed in the second quarter of 2010, increased our domestic equity product offerings.

In addition, positive investment returns during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, positive net client cash flows increased assets under management in our alternative and fixed income asset classes increased assets under management in those strategies. Throughand all asset classes benefited from positive investment returns, several of our Affiliates produced performance fees in this period ($33.6 million included in our consolidated revenue).returns.

We completed our investment in Artemis during the first quarter of 2010;2010 and we completed our investments in Pantheon and Aston during the second quarter of 2010. Our presentation of assets under management activity is pro forma assuming these investments closed at the beginning of each period presented.

Represents certainIncludes assets under management attributable to Affiliate products that we elected to close; these transactionsproduct transitions, the financial effects of which are not material to our ongoing financial results.

        As shown in the assets under management table above, client cash inflows totaled $24.8$41.1 billion while client cash outflows totaled $25.5$36.4 billion for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010. The net flows for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 occurred across a broad range of product offerings in each of our distribution channels, with no individual cash inflow or outflow having a material impact on our revenue or expenses.

        The operating segment analysis presented in the following table is based on average assets under management. For the Mutual Fund distribution channel, average assets under management represent an average of the daily net assets under management. For the Institutional and High Net Worth distribution channels, average assets under management takes into consideration the billing patterns of



particular client accounts. For example, assets under management for an account that bills in advance is included in the table using beginning of period assets under management while an account that bills in arrears uses end of period assets under management. We believe that this analysis more closely correlates to the billing cycle of each distribution channel and, as such, provides a more meaningful relationship to revenue.

As described above, our average assets under management considers balances used to bill revenue during the reporting period. These amounts also include assets managed by firms whose financial results are not consolidated ($42.949.2 billion and $55.1$62.4 billion for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively, and $43.3$45.6 billion and $56.3$58.3 billion for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively). Assets under management attributable to any investments in new Affiliates are included on a weighted average basis for the period from the closing date of the respective investment.


(2)
EBITDA represents earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Our use of EBITDA, including reconciliation to cash flow from operations, is described in greater detail in "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Supplemental Liquidity Measure." For purposes of our distribution channel operating results, expenses not incurred directly by Affiliates have been allocated based on the proportion of aggregate cash flow distributions reported by each Affiliate in the particular distribution channel.

Revenue

        Our revenue is generally determined by the level of our assets under management, the portion of our assets across our products and three operating segments, which realize different fee rates, and the



recognition of any performance fees. As described in the "Overview" section above, performance fees are generally measured on absolute or relative investment performance against a benchmark. As a result, the level of performance fees earned can vary significantly from period to period and these fees may not necessarily be correlated to changes in total assets under management.

        Our total revenue increased $130.9$136.9 million (or 65%63%) in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, as compared to the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, primarily from a 39%44% increase in average assets under management. This increase in average assets under management resulted principally from our new Affiliate investments and investment performance. Performance fees were not a significant component of revenue in either the three months ended September 30, 2010 or the three months ended September 30, 2009 (approximately 2% of revenue for both time periods).

        Our total revenue increased $340.3 million (or 57%) in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily from a 37% increase in average assets under management. This increase in average assets under management resulted principally from our new Affiliate investments and investment performance. Unrelated to the change in assets under management, performance fees increased $21.2$23.1 million to $39.2 million (or 221%144%) in the threenine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, as compared to the threenine months ended June 30, 2009.

        Our total revenue increased $203.4 million (or 54%) in the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009, primarily from a 34% increase in average assets under management. This increase in average assets under management resulted principally from our new Affiliate investments and investment performance. Unrelated to the change in assets under management, performance fees increased $22.0 million (or 191%) in the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009.

        The following discusses the changes in our revenue by operating segments.

Mutual Fund Distribution Channel

        Our revenue in the Mutual Fund distribution channel increased $75.7$71.1 million (or 105%88%) in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, while average assets under management increased 89%80%, and revenue increased $105.2$176.3 million (or 75%80%) in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 as compared to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, while average assets under management increased 68%72%. These increases in average assets under management resulted principally from investment performance and our 2009 and 2010 investments in new Affiliates.

Institutional Distribution Channel

        Our revenue in the Institutional distribution channel increased $50.8$61.1 million (or 50%56%) in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, while average assets under management increased 28%40%, and revenue increased $90.4$151.5 million (or 49%52%) in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 as compared to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, while average assets under management increased 28%31%. These increases in average assets under management resulted principally from investment performance partially offset by negative net client cash flows.and our 2010 investments in new Affiliates. Unrelated to the change in assets under management, performance fees increased $21.7$23.7 million (or 235%154%) in the threenine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, as compared to the threenine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, and increased $22.8 (or 210%) in the six months ended June 30, 2010.2009. The increase in revenue was proportionately greater than the



increase in average assets under management as a result of an increase in assets under management at Affiliates that realize comparatively higher fee rates.

High Net Worth Distribution Channel

        Our revenue in the High Net Worth distribution channel increased $4.4$4.7 million (or 16%17%) in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, while average assets under management increased 17%13%, and revenue increased $7.8$12.5 million (or 14%15%) in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 as compared to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, while average assets under management increased 18%16%. These increases in average assets under management resulted principally from investment performance.

        The substantial portion of our operating expenses is incurred by our Affiliates, the majority of which is incurred by Affiliates with revenue sharing arrangements. For Affiliates with revenue sharing arrangements, an Affiliate's Operating Allocation percentage generally determines its operating expenses. Accordingly, our compensation expense is impacted by increases or decreases in each Affiliate's revenue and the corresponding increases or decreases in each Affiliate's respective Operating Allocation. During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, approximately $69.6$79.4 million and $125.6$205.0 million (or 49%52% and 48%50%), respectively, of our consolidated compensation expense was attributable to our Affiliate management partners. The percentage of revenue allocated to operating expenses varies from one Affiliate to another and may also vary within an Affiliate depending on the source or amount of revenue. As a result, changes in our aggregate revenue may not impact our consolidated operating expenses to the same degree.

        Compensation and related expenses increased 38%44% and 40%41% in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, as compared to the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, respectively, primarily as a result of the relationship between revenue and operating expenses at extant Affiliates, which experienced increases in revenue, and accordingly, reported higher compensation expenses. These increases were also attributable to increases in aggregate Affiliate expenses of $16.1$29.8 million and $21.2$44.4 million in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 from new Affiliate investments, as compared to the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, respectively, as well as increases in holding company incentive and stock-based compensation of $8.6$5.2 million and $13.5$15.3 million in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, as compared to the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, respectively. These increases were partially offset by decreases in aggregate Affiliate


        Selling, general and administrative expenses from the transfer of our interests in certain Affiliates of $2.1 millionincreased 174% and $2.6 million114% in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, as compared to the three and sixnine months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 133% and 88% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, respectively. These increases resulted principally from increases in aggregate Affiliate expenses of $32.4$36.6 million and $41.0$77.6 million from new Affiliate investments in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, as compared to the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, respectively. These increases also resulted from a $6.0 million insurance recovery in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, which did not recur in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009, also resulted from increases in professional fees principally related to recent investment closings of $5.5 million$9.8 million.

        Amortization of intangible assets increased 147% and $9.9 million60% in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, as compared to the three and sixnine months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

        Amortization of intangible assets increased 19% and 15% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, respectively. These increases were principally attributable to increases in definite-lived intangible assets resulting from new Affiliate investments.


        Depreciation and other amortization increased 6%16% and 5% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, principally attributable to increases in aggregate Affiliate expenses from new Affiliate investments of $0.8 million and $1.3 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. These increases were partially offset by decreases in spending on depreciable assets in recent periods.

        Other operating expenses decreased 12% in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, as compared to the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, principally attributable to a $0.3loss realized on the transfer of Affiliate interests in the three months ended September 30, 2009, which did not recur in the three months ended September 30, 2010. This decrease was partially offset by a $4.1 million increase in aggregate Affiliate expenses from new Affiliate investments. Other operating expenses increased 13% in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009, principally attributable to a $5.3 million increase in aggregate Affiliate expenses from new Affiliate investments, partially offset by a decrease in spendinglosses realized on depreciable assets in recent periods. Depreciation and other amortization decreased 2%transfers of Affiliate interests in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, as compared to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, principally attributable to a decrease in spending on depreciable assets in recent periods, partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million in aggregate Affiliate expenses from new Affiliate investments.

        Other operating expenses increased 79% and 38% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, principally attributable to a loss realized on the transfer of Affiliate interests in the second quarter of 2010, as well as increases in aggregate Affiliate expenses of $1.0 million and $1.2 million from new Affiliate investments in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.2009.

        Income from equity method investments consists of our share of income from Affiliates that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, net of any related intangible amortization. Income from equity method investments increased 34%16% and 38%30% in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, as compared to the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009,



respectively, principally as a result of increases in assets under management at Affiliates that we account for under the equity method of accounting.

        Investment and other income decreased 90% and 49%increased 73% in the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, as compared to the three and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, respectively,principally as a result of an increase in Affiliate investment earnings and foreign exchange gains, including a $2.5 million increase in aggregate Affiliate income from new Affiliate investments. Investment and other income increased 10% in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009, principally as a result of a $2.8 million increase in investment and other income from new Affiliates, partially offset by a decrease in extant Affiliate investment earnings.income.


        Investment income (loss) from Affiliate investments in partnerships relates to the consolidation of certain investment partnerships in which our Affiliates are the general partner. In the third quarter of 2010, we deconsolidated these partnerships. For the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, the income from Affiliate investments in partnerships was $14.9 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, the income (loss) from Affiliate investments in partnerships was $14.9 million and $(8.6) million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2010, the income (loss) from Affiliate investments in partnerships was $11.2$26.1 million and $(4.5) million, respectively. This income (loss) was principally attributable to investors who are unrelated to us.

        Interest expense increased slightly in the three and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, as compared to the three and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, principally as a result of an increase in cost of our senior bank debt, which resulted from an increase in borrowings. Interest expense was flat inincreased borrowings under the six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009.Revolver.

        Imputed interest expense consists of interest accretion on our senior convertible securities and our junior convertible trust preferred securities as well as the accretion of our projected contingent payment arrangements.

        Net income (loss) (non-controlling interest in partnerships) relates to the consolidation of certain investment partnerships in which our Affiliates are the general partner. In the third quarter of 2010, we deconsolidated these partnerships. For the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, the net income from Affiliate investment partnerships attributable to the non-controlling interests was $14.6 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, the net income (loss) from Affiliate investment partnerships attributable to the non-controlling interests was $14.6 million and $(8.4) million, respectively.

Supplemental Performance Measures

        In reporting our financial and operating results during the second quarter of 2010, we renamed our non-GAAP performance measures to Economic Net Income and Economic earnings per share (formerly known as Cash Net Income and Cash earnings per share). We consider Economic Net Income an important measure of our financial performance, as we believe it best represents our operating performance before non-cash expenses relating to our acquisition of interests in our investment management firms. Economic Net Income and Economic earnings per share are used by our management and Board of Directors as our principal performance benchmarks, including as measures for aligning executive compensation with stockholder value. These measures are provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, Net Income (controlling interest) and Earnings per share. Economic Net Income and Economic earnings per share are not liquidity measures and should not be used in place of any liquidity measure calculated under GAAP. These measures facilitate comparisons to other asset management firms that have not engaged in significant acquisitions or issued convertible debt.

        Under our Economic Net Income definition, we add to Net Income (controlling interest) amortization (including equity method amortization), deferred taxes related to intangible assets, Affiliate depreciation and Affiliate equity expense, and exclude the non-cash effect of APB 14-1 (principally imputed interest on convertible securities) and non-cash expenses related to contingent payment arrangements. We add back amortization attributable to acquired client relationships because this expense does not correspond to the changes in value of these assets, which do not diminish predictably over time. The portion of deferred taxes generally attributable to intangible assets (including goodwill) that we no longer amortize but which continues to generate tax deductions is added back, because we believe it is unlikely these accruals will be used to settle material tax obligations. Since our acquired assets do not generally depreciate or require replacement by us, and since they generate deferred tax expenses that are unlikely to reverse, we add back these non-cash expenses to Net Income to measure operating performance. We add back non-cash expenses relating to certain transfers of equity between Affiliate management partners, when these transfers have no dilutive effect to our shareholders. We add back the portion of consolidated depreciation expense incurred by our Affiliates because under our Affiliates' operating agreements we are generally not required to replenish these depreciating assets.

        Economic earnings per share represents Economic Net Income divided by the adjusted diluted average shares outstanding, which measures the potential share issuance from our senior convertible



securities and junior convertible securities (each further described in Liquidity and Capital Resources) using a "treasury stock" method. Under this method, only the net number of shares of common stock equal to the value of these securities in excess of par, if any, are deemed to be outstanding. We believe the inclusion of net shares under a treasury stock method best reflects the benefit of the increase in available capital resources (which could be used to repurchase shares of common stock) that occurs when these securities are converted and we are relieved of our debt obligation. This method does not take into account any increase or decrease in our cost of capital in an assumed conversion.

        In connection with recent investments in Affiliates, in the first quarter of 2010 we modified our Economic Net Income definition to exclude non-cash imputed interest and revaluation adjustments related to contingent payment arrangements from Net Income (controlling interest). The modification of the Economic Net Income definition did not have an impact on the prior periods reported.

The definition of EBITDA is presented in Note 2 on page 34 and below under Supplemental Liquidity Measure.

        We view our ratio of debt to EBITDA (our "internal leverage ratio") as an important gauge of our ability to service debt, make new investments and access additional capital. Consistent with industry practice, we do not consider junior trust preferred securities as debt for the purpose of determining our internal leverage ratio. We also view our leverage on a "net debt" basis by deducting from our debt balance holding company cash (including prospective proceeds from the settlement of our forward equity sale agreements).cash. At JuneSeptember 30, 2010, our internal leverage ratio was 2.2:1.7:1.

        Under the terms of our credit facility we are required to meet two financial ratio covenants. The first of these covenants is a maximum ratio of debt to EBITDA (the "bank leverage ratio") of 3.5. The calculation of our bank leverage ratio is generally consistent with our internal leverage ratio approach. The second covenant is a minimum EBITDA to cash interest expense ratio of 3.0 (our "bank interest coverage ratio"). For the purposes of calculating these ratios, share-based compensation expense is added back to EBITDA. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2010, our actual bank leverage and bank interest coverage ratios were 2.72.0 and 5.7,6.3, respectively, and we were in full compliance with all terms of our credit facility. Following the July 2 settlement of the outstanding forward equity sales and the use of these funds to pay down senior bank debt, our pro forma bank leverage ratio was 2.3. Following this repayment, weWe have $305.2$399 million of remaining capacity under our $770 million credit facility of whichand we could borrow a total of $305.2 million without violatingthe entire amount and remain in compliance with our credit facility covenants.agreement.


        We are rated BBB- by Standard & Poor's. AWith the exception of a modest increase in the borrowing rate under our Revolver (30 basis points), a downgrade of our credit rating either as a result of industry or company-specific considerations, would not have a materialno financial effect on any of our agreements or securities (or otherwise trigger a default).

Supplemental Liquidity Measure

        As supplemental information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have provided information regarding our EBITDA, a non-GAAP liquidity measure. This measure is provided in addition to, but not as a substitute for, cash flow from operations. EBITDA represents earnings before



interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA, as calculated by us, may not be consistent with computations of EBITDA by other companies. As a measure of liquidity, we believe that EBITDA is useful as an indicator of our ability to service debt, make new investments and meet working capital requirements. We further believe that many investors use this information when analyzing the financial position of companies in the investment management industry.

Our principal uses of cash in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 were to make investments in new and existing Affiliates, make distributions to Affiliate managers and repay our senior bank debt. We expect that our principal uses of cash for the foreseeable future will be for investments in new and existing Affiliates, distributions to Affiliate managers, payment of interest on outstanding debt, the repurchase of debt securities, and the repurchase of shares of our common stock and for working capital purposes.

Senior Bank Debt

        We have a $770 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") under which we pay interest at specified rates (based either on the LIBOR rate or the prime rate as in effect from time to time) that vary depending on our credit rating. Subject to the agreement of lenders to provide additional commitments, we have the option to increase the Revolver by up to $175 million. The Revolver contains financial covenants with respect to leverage and interest coverage and customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, liens, cash dividends and fundamental corporate changes. Borrowings under the Revolver are collateralized by pledges of the substantial majority of our capital stock or other equity interests owned by us. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2010, we had $660$371 million outstanding under the Revolver; and,Revolver.

        We have entered into interest rate swap contracts to exchange a fixed rate for the variable rate on July 2,$50 million of our variable rate debt. For the period October 1, 2010 usedthrough October 1, 2015, we will pay a weighted average fixed rate of 1.66% on the net proceeds fromnotional amount plus any applicable spread payable under variable rate debt agreements. Certain of our derivative contracts contain provisions that require us or the settlementcounterparties to post collateral based upon the current fair value of sales underthe derivative contracts. As of September 30, 2010, we had posted collateral of $0.6 million related to our forward equity program to pay down the balance outstanding under the Revolver to approximately $465 million.derivative contracts.

        The 2008 convertible notes are convertible into a defined number of shares of our common stock upon the occurrence of certain events. Upon conversion, we may elect to pay or deliver cash, shares of common stock, or some combination thereof. The holders of the 2008 convertible notes may put these securities to us in August of 2013, 2018, 2023, 2028 and 2033. We may call the notes for cash at any time on or after August 15, 2013.


        In the second quarter of 2010, we called our Zero Coupon Senior Convertible Notes due May 7, 2021 ("zero coupon senior convertible notes") for redemption at their principal amount plus any original issue discount accrued thereon. In lieu of redemption, all of the holders elected to convert their zero coupon senior convertible notes into shares of our common stock. We issued 873,626 shares of common stock to settle these conversions. All of our zero coupon senior convertible notes have been cancelled and retired as of June 14, 2010.

Junior Convertible Trust Preferred Securities

Upon conversion, holders will receive cash or shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof. We can call the 2006 junior convertible trust preferred securities on or after April 2011 if the closing price of our common stock exceeds $195 per share for a specified period of time.

        We can call the 2007 junior convertible trust preferred securities on or after October 2012 if the closing price of our common stock exceeds $260 per share for a specified period of time. Holders of the 2006 and 2007 junior trust preferred securities have no rights to put these securities to us.

Forward Equity Sale Agreement

        We haveDuring 2009, we entered into threea forward equity sale agreementsagreement with a major securities firmsfirm to sell shares of our common stock (up to $200 million under each agreement). Under the termsstock. As of these agreements, we can settle forward sales at any time prior to December 31, 2010 by issuing shares in exchange for cash. Alternatively, we may choose to settle forward sales on a net stock or cash basis. Through JuneSeptember 30, 2010, we have completed $496.5 million of forward sales. In March 2009, we settled $147.2 million ofno forward equity sales by issuing 1.8 million shares of our common stock. In May 2010,are outstanding and we settled $46.6 million of forward equity sales by issuing 0.5 million shares of our common stock. In



June 2010, we settled $102.0 million of forward equity sales by issuing 1.8 million shares of our common stock. In July 2010, we settled the remaining $200.7 million of outstanding forward equity sales through the issuance of 3.2 million shares of our common stock. We have the additional capacity tomay sell up to an additional $103.5 million under an agreement entered into in July 2009.this agreement.

Share Repurchase Program

        In the secondthird quarter of 2010, we did not purchase any shares of common stock under our share repurchase programs. In July 2010, our Board of Directors authorized an additional 500,000 shares of common stock for repurchase under our share repurchase programs. There are currently 1,584,706 shares that could be purchased under our share repurchase program.

Affiliate Equity

        Many of our operating agreements provide Affiliate managers a conditional right to require us to purchase their retained equity interests at certain intervals. Certain agreements also provide us a conditional right to require Affiliate managers to sell their retained equity interests to us upon their



death, permanent incapacity or termination of employment and provide Affiliate managers a conditional right to require us to purchase such retained equity interests upon the occurrence of specified events. The purchase price of these conditional purchases are generally calculated based upon a multiple of the Affiliate's cash flow distributions, which is intended to represent fair value. Affiliate management partners are also permitted to sell their equity interests to other individuals or entities in certain cases, subject to our approval or other restrictions.

        We may pay for Affiliate equity purchases in cash, shares of our common stock or other forms of consideration and can consent to the transfer of these interests to other individuals or entities. Our cumulative redemption obligation for these interests has been presented as "Redeemable non-controlling interests" on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Although the timing and amounts of these purchases are difficult to predict, we expect to repurchase approximately $100 million of Affiliate equity during the next twelve months, and, in such event, will own the cash flow associated with any equity repurchased.

Operating Cash Flow

        Cash flow from operations generally represents Net Income plus non-cash charges for amortization, deferred taxes, equity-based compensation and depreciation, as well as increases and decreases in our consolidated working capital.

        The increase in cash flows from operations for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 as compared to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, resulted principally from increased Net Income of $31.5$32.7 million, a decrease in settlements of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $48.0$88.7 million and a decrease in purchases of prepaids and other current assets of $29.0$9.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in collections of investment advisory fees receivable of $43.2 million.

        We consolidated $93.8$12.9 million and $89.6 millionan increase in other assets of client assets held in partnerships controlled by our Affiliates as of December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2010, respectively. Sales of $0.3 million increased operating cash flow in the six months ended June 30, 2009. Purchases of $0.5 million decreased operating cash flow in the six months ended June 30, 2010.$12.6 million.

Investing Cash Flow

        The net cash flow used in investing activities increased $806.1$695.4 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010 as compared to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009. This was primarily the result of ana $664.7 million increase of $791.6 million relating to our new Affiliate investments in Pantheon and Aston during the second quarter of 2010.


Financing Cash Flow

        Net cash flows from financing activities increased $796.1$680.2 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, as compared to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009. This was primarily a result of an increase in net borrowings of senior bank debt of $893.0$604.5 million, partially offset by an increase in repurchases of Affiliate equity of $76.7$75.8 million. In addition, we received $144.3 million and $100.0$294.7 million of proceeds from the settlement of forward equity sales in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 and JuneSeptember 30, 2010, respectively. In July 2010, we settled our remaining forward sales with the issuance of 3.2 million shares for $194.7 million.

        Our investment in Artemis was financed through borrowings under our Revolver, and our investment in Aston was financed through the issuance of approximately 1.7 million shares of our common stock. Our investment in Pantheon was financed with borrowings under our Revolver and proceeds from the partial settlement of forward equity sales. We plan to finance our investment in Trilogy with available cash and borrowings from the Revolver.

        Under past acquisition agreements, we are contingently liable, upon achievement of specified financial targets, to make payments of up to $601$609 million through 2015. In the remainder of 2010, we do not expect to make any significant payments to settle portions of these contingent obligations.

        Proceeds available under our Revolver are sufficient to support our cash flow needs for the foreseeable future.

The timing of debt payments assumes that outstanding debt is settled for cash or common stock at the applicable maturity dates. The amounts include the cash payment of fixed interest. Holders of the 2008 convertible notes may put their interests to us for $460 million in 2013.

(2)
As more fully discussed on page 41,40, consistent with industry practice, we do not consider our junior convertible trust preferred securities as debt for the purpose of determining our leverage ratio.

(3)
Other liabilities reflect amounts payable to Affiliate managers related to our purchase of additional Affiliate equity interests and deferred purchase price. This table does not include liabilities for uncertain tax positions or commitments to co-invest in certain investment partnerships (of $22.2$23.1 million and $97$98.0 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2010, respectively) as we cannot predict when such obligations will be paid.

(4)
The amount of contingent payments related to business acquisitions disclosed in the table represents our expected settlement amounts. While the table above reflects our current estimates, theThe maximum settlement amount is $167$168 million for the remainder of 2010through 2011 and $434$442 million in periods after 2010.2011.

Market Risk

        From time to time, we seek to offset our exposure to changing interest rates under our debt financing arrangements by entering into interest rate hedging contracts. As of September 30, 2010, we were a party, with major commercial banks as counterparties, to $50 million notional amount interest rate swap contracts which fix the interest rate on the notional amount to a weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.66% for the period from October 2010 to October 2015. The unrealized loss on these interest rate swap contracts as of September 30, 2010 was $0.6 million.

Recent Accounting Developments

        During the first quarter of 2010, we adopted a new standard that requires an enterprise to perform a qualitative analysis to determine whether its variable interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity ("VIE"). Under the standard, an enterprise has a controlling financial interest when it has (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. An enterprise that holds a controlling financial interest is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and is required to consolidate the



VIE. This new standard has been deferred for certain entities that utilize the specialized accounting guidance for investment companies or that have the attributes of investment companies. The adoption of the portions of this new standard that were not deferred did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

        During the first quarter of 2010, we adopted a new standard that eliminated the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity ("QSPE"), changed the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and required additional disclosures to enhance information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets, including an entity's continuing involvement in and exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. The standard also clarified the requirements for isolation and limitations on portions of financial assets that are eligible for sale accounting. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Annual Goodwill Assessment

        As of September 30, 2010, the carrying value of goodwill was $1,995.8 million. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquisitions over the fair value of identified assets and liabilities. Our goodwill impairment tests are performed annually during the third quarter at the reporting unit level (in our case, our three operating segments), or more frequently, should circumstances suggest fair value has declined below the related carrying amount. We completed our annual goodwill impairment test during the third quarter and no impairments were identified. For purposes of our test, the fair value of each reporting unit was measured by applying a multiple to the estimated cash flow of the reporting unit, including cash flows attributable to non-controlling interests. The fair value of each of our reporting units substantially exceeds their respective carrying values and only a material decline in the value of any of our reporting units would indicate that an impairment may exist. Management believes that the valuation inputs used to determine fair value of our reporting units are reasonable.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        There have been no significant changes to our Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010. Please refer to Item 7A in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

        We carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures during the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that (i) the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and (ii) such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officers as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their stated objectives and our principal executive officer and principal financial officers concluded that our



disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level. We review on an ongoing basis and document our disclosure controls and procedures, and our internal control over financial reporting, and we may from time to time make changes in an effort to enhance their effectiveness and ensure that our systems evolve with our business.

        No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
