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 to the current year 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, 1998 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.

2.    ACQUISITIONS

         On January 6, 1999 the Company completed its investment in Rorer 
Asset Management. The total purchase price associated with this investment 
was approximately $65 million. On April 1, 1999, the Company completed an 
investment in substantially all of the partnership interests in The Managers 
Funds, L.P., which serves as the adviser to a family of ten equity and fixed 
income no-load mutual funds. These transactions will be accounted for under 
the purchase method of accounting.

3.    OFFERING

         On March 3, 1999, the Company completed its second public offering 
of Common Stock. In the offering 5,529,954 shares of Common Stock were sold, 
of which 4,000,000 shares were sold by the Company and 1,529,954 shares were 
sold by selling stockholders. AMG used the net proceeds from the offering to 
reduce indebtedness and did not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common 
Stock by the selling stockholders.

OVERVIEW

         We acquire equity interests in mid-sized investment management firms
and currently derive all of our revenues from those firms. We refer to firms in
which we have purchased less than 100% (typically less than 80%) as our
"affiliates". We hold investments in 13 affiliates that managed $64.2 billion in
assets at March 31, 1999. Our most recent affiliate investments were in Davis
Hamilton Jackson & Associates, L.P. ("DHJA") in December 1998 and Rorer Asset
Management LLC ("Rorer") in January 1999. On April 1, 1999, we completed an
acquisition of substantially all of the partnership interests in the Managers
Funds, L.P. ("Managers"), which serves as the adviser to a family of ten equity
and fixed income no-load mutual funds. 

         We have a revenue sharing arrangement with each of our affiliates which
allocates a specified percentage of revenues (typically 50-70%) for use by
management of that affiliate in paying operating expenses, 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. One of the purposes of our revenue sharing
arrangements is to provide ongoing incentives for the managers of the affiliates
by allowing them:

o    to participate in their firm's growth through their compensation from the
     Operating Allocation,
o    to receive a portion of the Owners' Allocation based on their ownership
     interest in the affiliate, and
o    to control operating expenses, thereby increasing the portion of the
     Operating Allocation which is available for growth initiatives and bonuses
     for management of the affiliate.

                                       6
<PAGE>

         The managers of each affiliate, therefore, have an incentive to both
increase revenues (thereby increasing the Operating Allocation and their Owners'
Allocation) and to control expenses (thereby increasing the excess Operating
Allocation).

         The revenue sharing arrangements allow us to participate in the revenue
growth of each affiliate because we receive a portion of the additional revenue
as our share of the Owners' Allocation. However, we participate in that growth
to a lesser extent than the managers of the affiliate, because we do not share
in the growth of the Operating Allocation.

         Under the organizational documents of the affiliates, the allocations
and distributions of cash to us generally take priority over the allocations and
distributions to the management owners of the affiliates. This further protects
us if there are any expenses in excess of the Operating Allocation of an
affiliate. Thus, if an affiliate's expenses exceed its Operating Allocation, the
excess expenses first reduce the portion of the Owners' Allocation allocated to
the affiliate's management owners, until that portion is eliminated, and then
reduce the portion allocated to us.

         The portion of each affiliate's revenues which is included in its
Operating Allocation and retained by it to pay salaries, bonuses and other
operating expenses, as well as the portion of each affiliate's revenues which is
included in its Owners' Allocation and distributed to us and the other owners of
the affiliate, are both included as "revenues" on our Consolidated Statements of
Operations. The expenses of each affiliate which are paid out of the Operating
Allocation, as well as our holding company expenses which we pay out of the
amounts of the Owners' Allocation which we receive from the affiliates, are both
included in "operating expenses" on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The portion of each affiliate's Owners' Allocation which is allocated to owners
of the affiliates other than us is included in "minority interest" on our
Consolidated Statements of Operations.

         The EBITDA Contribution of an affiliate represents the Owners'
Allocation of that affiliate allocated to AMG before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization of that affiliate. EBITDA Contribution does not
include our holding company expenses.

         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. Certain of the affiliates bill advisory fees for all or a portion of
their clients based upon assets under management valued at the beginning of a
billing period ("in advance"). Other affiliates bill advisory fees for all or a
portion of their clients based upon assets under management valued at the end of
the billing period ("in arrears"). Advisory fees billed in advance will not
reflect subsequent changes in the market value of assets under management for
that period. Conversely, advisory fees billed in arrears will reflect changes in
the market value of assets under management for that period. 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 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.

         Our level of profitability will depend on a variety of factors
including principally: (i) the level of affiliate revenues, which is dependent
on the ability of our existing affiliates and future affiliates to maintain or
increase assets under management by maintaining their existing investment
advisory relationships and fee structures, marketing their services successfully
to new clients, and obtaining favorable investment results; (ii) the receipt of
Owners' Allocation, which is dependent on the ability of the affiliates and
future affiliates to maintain certain levels of operating profit margins; (iii)
the availability and cost of the capital with which we finance our investments;
(iv) our success in attracting new investments and the terms upon which such
transactions are completed; (v) the level of intangible assets and the
associated amortization expense resulting from our investments; (vi) the level
of expenses incurred for holding company operations, including compensation for
its employees; and (vii) the level of taxation to which we are subject, all of
which are, to some extent, dependent on factors which are not in our control,
such as general securities market conditions.

         Assets under management were $64.2 billion at March 31, 1999 versus
$57.7 billion at December 31, 1998. The increase in assets under management was
partially related to the closing of our investment in Rorer ($4.4 



                                       7
<PAGE>

billion). Aggregate net client cash flow for directly managed assets contributed
$381.0 million to the increase, while overlay assets (which generally carry
lower fees than directly managed assets) declined $1.1 billion. Positive
investment performance accounted for the remaining change in assets under
management.

         Our 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 our investments, intangible assets,
consisting of acquired client relationships and goodwill, constitute a
substantial percentage of our consolidated assets and our results of operations
have included increased charges for amortization of those intangible assets. As
of March 31, 1999, our total assets were approximately $655.3 million, of which
approximately $186.9 million consisted of acquired client relationships and
$360.4 million consisted of goodwill.

         The amortization period for intangible assets for each investment is
assessed individually, with amortization periods for our 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, we consider a number of factors including: the
firm's historical and potential future operating performance and rate 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. We perform 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 our
operating expenses, management believes it is important to distinguish this
expense from other operating expenses since such amortization does not require
the use of cash. Because of this, and because our distributions from our
affiliates are based on their Owners' Allocation, management has provided
additional supplemental information in this report for "cash" related earnings,
as an addition to, but not as a substitute for, measures related to net income.
Such measures are (i) EBITDA, which we believe is useful to investors as an
indicator of our ability to service debt, to make new investments and meet
working capital requirements, and (ii) EBITDA as adjusted, which we believe is
useful to investors as another indicator of funds available which may be used to
make new investments, to repay debt obligations, to repurchase shares of our
Common Stock or pay dividends on our Common Stock.


THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AS COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1998

         The Company had net income of $7.5 million for the quarter ended 
March 31, 1999 compared to net income of $4.5 million for the quarter ended 
March 31, 1998. The increase in net income resulted primarily from income 
from investments made during and subsequent to the first quarter of 1998. The 
Company invested in Essex Investment Management, LLC on March 20, 1998 and 
DHJA and Rorer on December 31, 1998 and January 6, 1999, respectively.

         Total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 were $68.0 million,
an increase of $22.3 million over the quarter ended March 31, 1998, primarily as
a result of the new Affiliate investments.

         Total operating expenses increased by $13.2 million to $42.0 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $29.0 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1998. Compensation and related expenses increased by $7.8 million,
amortization of intangible assets increased by $1.4 million, selling, general
and administrative expenses increased by $3.0 million, and other operating
expenses increased by $709,000. The increases in operating expenses are
primarily due to the inclusion of the new Affiliates described above.

         Minority interest increased by $4.0 million to $10.5 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $6.5 million for the quarter ended March 31,
1998. This increase is a result of the addition of new Affiliates as



                                       8

described above.

         Interest expense increased by $371,000 to approximately $3.5 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $3.1 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1998 as a result of the increased indebtedness incurred in connection
with the investments described above.

         Income tax expense was $5.2 million for the quarter ended March 31,
1999 compared to $3.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The change
in tax expense was mostly related to an increase in income before taxes.

         EBITDA increased by $7.4 million to $22.2 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1999 from $14.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998,
primarily as a result of the inclusion of new Affiliates as described above.

         EBITDA as adjusted increased by $4.7 million to $13.5 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $8.8 million for the quarter ended March 31,
1998 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
$6.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 and $4.3 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         We have met our cash requirements primarily through cash generated by
operating activities, bank borrowings, and the issuance of equity and debt
securities in public and private placement transactions. We anticipate that we
will use cash flow from our operating activities to repay debt and to finance
our working capital needs and will use bank borrowings and issue equity and debt
securities to finance future affiliate investments. Our principal uses of cash
have been to make investments in affiliates, to retire indebtedness, repurchase
shares and to support our and our affiliates' operating activities. We expect
that our principal use of funds for the foreseeable future will be for
investments in additional affiliates, repayments of debt, including interest
payments on outstanding debt, distributions of the Owners' Allocation to owners
of affiliates other than us, additional investments in existing affiliates,
including upon management owners' sales of their retained equity to us, and for
working capital purposes. We do not expect to make commitments for material
capital expenditures.

         At March 31, 1999, we had outstanding borrowings of senior debt 
under our credit facility of $158.0 million. On January 29, 1999 we exercised 
our option to expand the credit facility from $300 to $330 million and added 
another major commercial bank to our group of lenders. We have the option, 
with the consent of our lenders, to increase the facility by another $70 
million to a total of $400 million. Our credit facility bears interest at 
either LIBOR plus a margin ranging from .50% to 2.25% or the Prime Rate plus 
a margin ranging up to 1.25% and matures during December 2002. In order to 
offset our exposure to changing interest rates we enter into interest rate 
hedging contracts. We pay a commitment fee of up to 1/2 of 1% on the daily 
unused portion of the facility.

         Our borrowings under the credit facility are collateralized by pledges
of all of our interests in affiliates (including all interests in affiliates
which are directly held by us, as well as all interests in affiliates which are
indirectly held by us through wholly-owned subsidiaries), which interests
represent substantially all of our assets. Our credit facility contains a number
of negative covenants, including those which generally prevent us and our
affiliates from: (i) incurring additional indebtedness (other than subordinated
indebtedness) (ii) creating any liens or encumbrances on material assets (with
certain enumerated exceptions), (iii) selling assets outside the ordinary course
of business or making certain fundamental changes with respect to our
businesses, including a restriction on our ability to transfer interests in any
majority owned affiliate if, as a result of such transfer, we would own less
than 51% of such affiliate, and (iv) declaring or paying dividends on our Common
Stock.

         In order to provide the funds necessary for us to continue to acquire
interests in investment management firms, including our existing affiliates upon
the management owners' sales of their retained equity to us, it will be
necessary for us to incur, from time to time, additional long-term bank 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 us.

         On December 31, 1998, we acquired a 65% interest in DHJA. DHJA is a
Houston based asset management firm with approximately $3.5 billion of assets
under management at December 31, 1998. On January 6, 1999, we acquired an
approximately 65% interest in Rorer. Rorer is a Philadelphia based investment
adviser with approximately $4.4 billion of assets under management at December
31, 1998. We paid $65 million in cash for our investment in Rorer. We financed
these two investments with borrowings under our credit facility.

         On March 3, 1999, we completed a public offering of 5,529,954 shares of
Common Stock, of which 4,000,000 shares were sold by us and 1,529,954 shares
were sold by selling stockholders. We used the net proceeds from the 4,000,000
shares sold by us to reduce indebtedness and did not receive any proceeds from
the sale of Common Stock by the selling stockholders.

         On April 1, 1999, we acquired substantially all of the partnership
interests in The Managers Funds, L.P., which serves as the adviser to a family
of ten equity and fixed income no-load mutual funds. We financed the investment
with a borrowing under our credit facility.


YEAR 2000

         The "Year 2000" poses a concern to our business as a result of the fact
that computer applications have historically used the last two digits, rather
than all four digits, to store year data. If left unmodified, these applications
would misinterpret the Year 2000 for the Year 1900 and would in many cases be
unable to function properly in the Year 2000 and beyond.

         We have based our evaluation of our ability to prepare for the Year
2000 upon a number of assumptions regarding future events, including third party
modification plans and the availability of needed resources. We cannot guarantee
that these estimates will be achieved, and actual results may differ materially
from our estimates. Specific factors which might cause such material differences
with respect to the Year 2000 issue include, but are not limited to, the failure
of our affiliates to achieve represented or stated levels of Year 2000
compliance, the availability and cost of personnel trained in this area and the
ability to locate and correct all relevant computer codes and similar
uncertainties.

         AMG'S READINESS

         In anticipation of this problem, we have identified all of the
significant computers, software applications and related equipment used at our
holding company that need to be modified, upgraded or replaced to minimize the
possibility of a material disruption to our business based on the advent of the
Year 2000. We anticipate completing our Year 2000 preparations at the holding
company by the end of the second quarter of 1999. We estimate our total cost
will be less than $800,000 for the four year period ending on December 31, 1999.
We cannot be certain that we will not encounter unforeseen delays or costs in
completing our preparations.

         OUR AFFILIATES' READINESS

         We have also established a time line with each of our affiliates to 
complete their Year 2000 preparations and have received estimates from each 
of them of the costs required to complete their preparations. As part of our 
general preparedness program, each of our affiliates has assigned 
responsibility for preparing for the Year 2000 to a member of its senior 
management in order to ensure that both proprietary and third party vendor 
systems will be ready for the Year 2000. Each of our affiliates has completed 
its assessment and plans are in place for the renovation or replacement of 
all non-compatible systems. We anticipate that most of the affiliates will 
complete the renovation or replacement of all non-compatible systems and the 
subsequent testing of all systems by the end of the second quarter of 1999 
with the remainder completing those activities during the third quarter of 
1999. Most of our affiliates pay for the costs of their Year 2000 
preparations out of their Operating Allocation, which is the portion of their 
revenues that is allocated to pay their operating expenses. As a result, 
these costs will only reduce an affiliate's distributions to us based on our 
ownership interest in the affiliate if the affiliate's operating expenses 
exceed its Operating Allocation and the portion of revenues allocated to the 
management owners.

         OUTSIDE SERVICE PROVIDERS

         Outside service providers perform several processes which are critical
to our affiliates' business operations, including transfer agency and custody
functions. Our affiliates have surveyed these parties and are monitoring their
progress. However, our affiliates have limited control, if any, over the actions
of these outside parties and in some instances have no alternative vendors. If
outside service providers fail to resolve their Year 2000 issues, we anticipate
that our affiliates' operations will experience material disruptions caused by
the inability to process trades and access client and investment research data
files and, accordingly, our and our affiliates' businesses would be adversely
affected.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

         We use interest-rate swaps to manage market exposures associated 
with our variable rate debt by creating offsetting market exposures. These 
instruments are not held for trading purposes. In the normal course of 
operations, we also face risks that are either nonfinancial or 
nonquantifiable. Such risks principally include country risk, credit risk, 
and legal risk, and are not represented in the analysis that follows.

         This analysis presents the hypothetical loss in earnings of the 
derivative instruments we held at March 31, 1999 that are sensitive to 
changes in interest rates. Interest rate swaps allow us to achieve a level of 
variable-rate and fixed-rate debt that is acceptable to us, and to reduce 
interest rate exposure. In each of our interest rate swaps, we have agreed 
with another party to exchange the difference between fixed-rate and floating 
rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed notional principal 
amount. Under each of our interest rate swaps, interest rates on the notional 
amounts are capped at rates ranging between 6.67% and 6.78% upon quarterly 
reset dates. In addition, if LIBOR falls below 5% at a quarterly reset date, 
we are required to make a payment to our counterparty equal to the difference 
between the interest rate on our floating rate LIBOR debt on an annualized 
rate of between 6.67% and 6.78%, multiplied by the notional principal amount. 
At March 31, 1999, a total of $185 million was subject to interest rate swaps 
(the "Original Swaps"), and our exposure was to changes in three-month LIBOR 
rates. Beginning in January 1999, we also became a party to additional 
contracts with a $75 million notional amount (the "Subsequent Swaps"). These 
contracts are designed to limit interest rate increases to 5.99% on this 
notional amount if three-month LIBOR rates fall below 5%.

         The hypothetical loss in earnings on all derivative instruments that 
would have resulted from a hypothetical change of 10 percent in three-month 
LIBOR rates, sustained for three months, is estimated to be $390,000. Because 
our net-earnings exposure under the combined debt and interest-rate swap was 
to three-month LIBOR rates, the hypothetical loss was calculated as follows: 
multiplying the notional amount of the swap by the effect of a 10% reduction 
in LIBOR under the Original Swaps, partially offset by the Subsequent Swaps 
and interest savings on the underlying debt.
