     1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       The consolidated financial statements of Affiliated Managers Group, 
Inc. (the "Company" or "AMG") have been prepared in accordance with generally 
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the 
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, 
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by 
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  
The year end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial 
statements, but does not include all of the disclosures required by generally 
accepted accounting principles.  In the opinion of management, all 
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary 
for a fair presentation have been included.  Certain prior year amounts have 
been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.  Operating 
results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results 
that may be expected for the full year.  The Company's Annual Report on Form 
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997 includes additional 
information about AMG, its operations, and its financial position, and should 
be read in conjunction with this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

       Effective January 1, 1998, AMG adopted Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."  This 
standard requires that comprehensive income and its components be reported 
and displayed in a financial statement with the same prominence as other 
financial statements.

     2.   ACQUISITIONS

       On March 20, 1998, AMG acquired a 68% interest in Essex Investment 
Management Company, LLC ("Essex").  AMG paid $69.7 million, including 
transaction costs, in a combination of cash and the assumption of certain 
liabilities, and issued 1,750,942 shares of Series C Non-Voting Convertible 
Stock (the "Series C Stock").  Each share of Series C Stock will convert into 
one share of AMG's Common Stock, $.01 par value per share, on March 20, 1999, 
or upon certain extraordinary events, as defined.  This transaction will be 
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  The Company elected 
the automatic 60 day extension for filing financial statements in the Form 
8-K filed in relation to its investment in Essex.  The required financial 
statements and pro forma financial information will be filed by amendment to 
the  Form 8-K on or before June 3, 1998.

     3.   INCOME TAXES

       A summary of the provision for income taxes is as follows (in thousands):

</TABLE>

       In the first quarter of 1998, the Company has determined that because 
it is more likely than not that all of its tax net operating loss 
carryforwards will be utilized during 1998, its deferred tax valuation 
allowance is no longer necessary.  Accordingly, the Company expects that the 
benefit of the reversal of the allowance will be realized  ratably over the 
year.

     4.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

       The calculation for the basic earnings per share is based on the 
weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period.  The 
calculation for the diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted 
average of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. 
The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the 
basic and diluted EPS computations.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

       This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the 
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 which are 
based on management's current views and assumptions regarding future events 
and financial performance. Words or phrases such as "will likely result," 
"are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "believes," 
"estimates," "projects" and other similar expressions are intended to 
identify such forward-looking statements.  Such statements are subject to 
certain risks and uncertainties, including those discussed herein and in the 
"Business - Cautionary Statements" section of the Company's Annual Report on 
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, that could cause 
actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the 
forward-looking statements.  The Company wishes to caution readers not to 
place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only 
as of the date made, and the Company will not undertake to release publicly 
the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking 
statements to reflect the occurrence of events or changes in circumstances 
after the date of such statements.

OVERVIEW

       The Company acquires equity positions in mid-sized investment 
management firms, and derives its revenues from such firms. AMG has a revenue 
sharing arrangement with each investment management firm in which it has an 
investment (each, an "Affiliate") which is contained in the organizational 
document of that Affiliate. Each such arrangement allocates a specified 
percentage of revenues (typically 50-70%) for use by management of that 
Affiliate in paying operating expenses of the Affiliate, including salaries 
and bonuses (the "Operating Allocation"). The remaining portion of revenues 
of the Affiliate, typically 30-50% (the "Owners' Allocation"), is allocated 
to the owners of that Affiliate (including AMG), generally in proportion to 
their ownership of the Affiliate.

       The Affiliates' revenues are derived from the provision of investment 
management services for fees. Investment management fees are usually 
determined as a percentage fee charged on periodic values of a client's 
assets under management. In addition, several of the Affiliates charge 
performance-based fees to certain of their clients; these performance-based 
fees result in payments to the applicable Affiliate if specified levels of 
investment performance are achieved. All references in this report to "assets 
under management" include assets directly managed as well as assets 
underlying overlay strategies which employ futures, options or other 
derivative securities to achieve a particular investment objective.

       Since its founding in December 1993, the Company has completed 11 
investments in such firms.  The most recent investment, in Essex Investment 
Management Company, LLC ("Essex"), was completed in March 1998.  The Company 
completed investments in Gofen and Glossberg, L.L.C. ("Gofen and Glossberg"), 
GeoCapital, LLC ("GeoCapital") and Tweedy, Browne Company LLC ("Tweedy, 
Browne"), in May, September and October 1997, respectively. 


                                       6
<PAGE>

       Assets under management increased by $8.6 billion to $54.3 billion at 
March 31, 1998 from $45.7 billion at December 31, 1997, in part due to the 
investment made in Essex. Excluding the initial assets under management of 
Essex at the Company's date of investment, assets under management increased 
by $4.0 billion as a result of $3.8 billion in market appreciation and $237 
million from positive net client cash flows for the three months ended March 
31, 1998.

       The Company's investments have been accounted for under the purchase 
method of accounting, under which goodwill is recorded for the excess of the 
purchase price for the acquisition of interests in Affiliates over the fair 
value of the net assets acquired, including acquired client relationships.  
As a result of the series of investments made by the Company, intangible 
assets (collectively, acquired client relationships and goodwill are referred 
to as "intangible assets") constitute a substantial percentage of the assets 
of the Company.  At March 31, 1998, the Company's total assets were $560.7 
million, of which $166.9 million consisted of acquired client relationships 
and $314.6 million consisted of goodwill.

       The amortization period for intangible assets for each investment is 
assessed individually, with amortization periods for the Company's 
investments to date ranging from nine to 28 years in the case of acquired 
client relationships and 15 to 35 years in the case of goodwill. In 
determining the amortization period for intangible assets acquired, the 
Company considers a number of factors including: the firm's historical and 
potential future operating performance; the firm's historical and potential 
future rates of attrition among clients; the stability and longevity of 
existing client relationships; the firm's recent, as well as long-term, 
investment performance; the characteristics of the firm's products and 
investment styles; the stability and depth of the firm's management team and 
the firm's history and perceived franchise or brand value. The Company 
performs a quarterly evaluation of intangible assets on an 
Affiliate-by-Affiliate basis to determine whether there has been any 
impairment in their carrying value or their useful lives.  If impairment is 
indicated, then the carrying amount of intangible assets, including goodwill, 
will be reduced to their fair values.

       While amortization of intangible assets has been charged to the 
results of operations and is expected to be a continuing material component 
of the Company's operating expenses, management believes that it is important 
to distinguish this expense from other operating expenses since such 
amortization does not require the use of cash.  Also, because the Company's 
distributions from its Affiliates are based on its share of Owners' 
Allocation, management has provided additional supplemental information for 
"cash" related earnings, as an addition to, but not as a substitute for, 
measures related to net income. Such measures are (i) EBITDA (earnings before 
interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization), which the 
Company believes is useful to investors as an indicator of the Company's 
ability to service debt, make new investments and meet working capital 
requirements, and (ii) EBITDA as adjusted (earnings after interest expense 
and income taxes but before depreciation and amortization), which the Company 
believes is useful to investors as another indicator of funds available to 
the Company to make new investments or repay debt obligations.

QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AS COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1997

       The Company had net income of $4.5 million for the quarter ended March 
31, 1998 compared to net income of $674,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 
1997. The increase in net income resulted primarily from income from 
investments made subsequent to March 31, 1997.  The Company invested in Gofen 
and Glossberg in May 1997, GeoCapital in September 1997 and Tweedy, Browne in 
October 1997, and included their results from their respective dates of 
investment. In addition, the Company invested in Essex on March 20, 1998 and 
its results were included in the results for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 
for 11 days.

       Total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 were $45.7 
million, an increase of $29.2 million over the quarter ended March 31, 1997, 
primarily as a result of the new investments subsequent to March 31, 1997. 

       Total operating expenses increased by $16.0 million to $29.0 million 
for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 from $13.0 million for the quarter ended 
March 31, 1997.  Compensation and related expenses increased by $8.7 million, 
amortization of intangible assets increased by $2.8 million, selling, general 
and administrative expenses increased by $3.9 million, and other operating 
expenses increased by $358,000.  The increases in operating expenses are 
primarily due to the inclusion of the new Affiliates described above.


                                       7
<PAGE>

       Minority interest increased by $4.8 million to $6.5 million for the 
quarter ended March 31, 1998 from $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 
31, 1997.  This increase is a result of the addition of new Affiliates as 
described above and the Owners' Allocation growth at the Company's existing 
Affiliates.

       Interest expense increased by $2.3 million to $3.1 million for the 
quarter ended March 31, 1998 from $786,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 
1997 as a result of the increased indebtedness incurred in connection with 
the investments described above.

       Income tax expense was $3.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 
1998 compared to $546,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  The 
effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 was 40% compared to 
45% for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  The change in effective tax rates 
from 1997 to 1998 is partially related to the reversal of the deferred tax 
asset valuation allowance in 1998.

       EBITDA increased by $11.7 million to $14.9 million for the quarter 
ended March 31, 1998 from $3.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, 
primarily as a result of the inclusion of new Affiliates as described above.

       EBITDA as adjusted increased by $6.9 million to $8.8 million for the 
quarter ended March 31, 1998 from $1.9 million for the quarter ended March 
31, 1997 as a result of the factors affecting net income as described above, 
before non-cash expenses such as amortization of intangible assets and 
depreciation of $4.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 and $1.2 
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       At March 31, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $29.5 
million and outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility 
("Credit Facility") of $222.3 million.  The Credit Facility allows for 
borrowings up to $300 million (which may be increased to $400 million upon 
the approval of the lenders), bears interest at either LIBOR plus a margin or 
the Prime Rate plus a margin and matures during December 2002.  In addition, 
the Company pays a commitment fee on the daily unused portion of the facility.

       On March 20, 1998, AMG acquired a 68% interest in Essex.  AMG paid 
$69.7 million, including transaction costs, in a combination of cash and the 
assumption of certain liabilities, and issued 1,750,942 shares of AMG's newly 
designated Series C Non-Voting Convertible Stock (the "Series C Stock").  
Each share of Series C Stock will convert into one share of AMG's Common 
Stock, $.01 par value per share, on March 20, 1999, or upon certain 
extraordinary events, as defined.  AMG financed the cash portion of the 
purchase price with borrowings under its Credit Facility.    

       In order to provide the funds necessary for the Company to continue to 
acquire interests in investment management firms, including additional 
investments in existing Affiliates, it will be necessary for the Company to 
incur, from time to time, additional long-term debt and/or issue equity or 
debt securities, depending on market and other conditions.  There can be no 
assurance that such additional financing will be available or become 
available on terms acceptable to the Company.

                                          
                            PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

       From time to time, the Company and its Affiliates may be parties to 
various claims, suits and complaints.  Currently, there are no such claims, 
suits or complaints that, in the opinion of management, would have a material 
adverse effect on the Company's financial position, liquidity or results of 
operations.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES

       On March 20, 1998, the Company issued 1,750,942 shares of AMG's newly 
designated Series C Non-Voting Convertible Stock (the "Series C Stock") to 
former stockholders of Essex Investment Management 


                                       8
<PAGE>

Company, Inc. as partial consideration for its investment in Essex.  Each 
share of Series C Stock will convert into one share of AMG's Common Stock, 
$.01 par value per share, on March 20, 1999, or upon certain extraordinary 
events, as defined.  The Company believes that the issuance of the Series C 
Stock was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 
1933, as amended, by reason of Section 4(2) thereof, based on the private 
nature of the transaction and the financial sophistication of the purchasers, 
each of whom had access to complete information concerning the Company and 
acquired the securities for investment and not with a view to the 
distribution thereof.
