                   AMG REPORTS FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS
                      FOR FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 1999

               COMPANY REPORTS 4Q99 EPS INCREASE OF 300% OVER 4Q98
                  FULL YEAR CASH EPS OF $4.33 AND EPS OF $3.18

BOSTON, MA, JANUARY 26, 2000 -- Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (NYSE:AMG), an
asset management holding company, today reported its financial and operating
results for the fourth quarter and full year 1999.

Diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 1999 were $1.92, a 300%
increase over diluted earnings per share of $0.48 for the fourth quarter of
1998. Cash net income ("EBITDA as adjusted," as defined in Note B to the
attached Summary Financial Data) for the fourth quarter of 1999 grew 192% to
$2.22 per share, as compared to $0.76 per share for the fourth quarter of 1998.
Aggregate net income for the fourth quarter of 1999 was $44.7 million, an
increase of 381% compared to $9.3 million for the fourth quarter of 1998.
"EBITDA" (as defined in Note A to the attached Summary Financial Data) for the
fourth quarter of 1999 was $92.0 million, a 283% increase versus $24.0 million
for the fourth quarter of 1998, and revenues for the fourth quarter of 1999 were
$286.6 million, a 257% increase versus $80.3 million for the fourth quarter of
1998. The revenues, EBITDA and net income for the fourth quarter of 1999 include
substantial performance fees earned by several Affiliates, principally Essex
Investment Management Company, LLC. These performance fees are inherently
dependent upon investment results and therefore may not recur to the same
magnitude in future years.

For the year ended December 31, 1999, net income was $72.2 million and cash net
income was $98.3 million, or $3.18 and $4.33 per share on a diluted basis,
respectively, on revenues of $518.7 million. EBITDA for the same period was
$166.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 1998, net income was $25.6
million and cash net income was $45.7 million, or $1.33 and $2.38 per share on a
diluted basis, respectively, on revenues of $238.5 million. EBITDA was $76.3
million for the year ended December 31, 1998.

Assets under management among AMG's Affiliates at December 31, 1999 were $87.0
billion (pro forma for Frontier Capital Management Company, LLC ("Frontier"),
which closed on January 18, 2000), compared to $69.9 billion at September 30,
1999. Aggregate net client cash flows from directly managed assets were positive
$494 million for the year, although those for the fourth quarter were negative
$981 million. Overlay assets (which generally carry lower fees than directly
managed assets) increased by $447 million for the quarter and declined by $1.1
billion for the year.

"We are pleased with our financial and operating results for the fourth quarter
and full year 1999," stated William J. Nutt, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of AMG. "This year's performance is another example of how the breadth
and diversity of our Affiliates continue to help drive earnings growth." Mr.
Nutt continued, "In particular, we benefited from our exposure to the growth
equity sector of the market in 1999, although we are also pleased with the
performance of our value-oriented and other Affiliates for the year."

"In addition to the outstanding performance of our existing Affiliates, we
continued to successfully execute our strategy of generating growth through
investments in new Affiliates," added Sean M. Healey, AMG's President and Chief
Operating Officer. "We completed investments in AMG's 14th and 15th Affiliates,
The Managers Funds LLC in April 1999 and Frontier in January 2000. Since the
closing of our investment in The Managers Funds LLC, assets under management in
its pre-existing business have grown 50%. Together with AMG during the fourth
quarter, the firm launched the first series of Managers AMG Funds, a no-load
mutual fund family managed and distributed by The Managers Funds LLC and
sub-advised by AMG's other Affiliates. Similarly, Frontier's growth in assets
under management has been impressive. Since the date of the announcement of our
investment in October 1999, the firm's assets have grown from $4.0 billion to
$5.0 billion." Mr. Healey continued, "We also assisted one of our Affiliates,
First Quadrant, L.P., in acquiring an excellent London-based firm, Objective
Asset Management Ltd., during the fourth quarter."

AMG addresses the succession and transition issues facing the principals of
growing mid-sized investment management firms. The Company's strategy is to
generate growth through investments in new Affiliates, as well as through the
internal growth of its existing Affiliates. AMG's innovative transaction
structure allows individual members of each Affiliate's management to retain or
receive significant direct ownership in their firm while maintaining operating
autonomy. In addition, AMG provides centralized assistance to its Affiliates in
strategic matters, marketing, distribution, product development, and operations.
