Trevor Dodds's questions to Affiliated Managers Group Inc (AMG) leadership • Q4 2024
Question
Trevor Dodds, on behalf of Dan Fannon, inquired about the current new investment pipeline compared to a year ago and whether the change in administration has affected discussions with potential affiliates.
Answer
President and CEO Jay Horgen confirmed the new investment pipeline remains strong, highlighting the recent NorthBridge Partners deal as an example of their strategy to invest in high-growth private markets firms. Horgen noted that NorthBridge, a specialist in industrial logistics real estate, chose AMG for its growth capital and strategic support while preserving independence. He stated the broader pipeline is predominantly focused on alternatives and that the current administrative environment is viewed as favorable for accelerating new investments, potentially due to lower regulation and a pro-business climate.
