Where AMG is headed
AMG is in the middle of a quiet transformation that most of the market still hasn't bothered to re-underwrite. Five years ago this was a collection of long-only equity boutiques bleeding assets to Vanguard and BlackRock. Today, roughly 60% of EBITDA comes from alternatives: Pantheon in private markets, AQR in systematic, Systematica in quant, plus a growing book of private credit affiliates picked up through the capital solutions team. The business the stock is priced against (an active equity aggregator in secular decline) is not really the business that exists anymore.
