AMG Chairman and CEO Sean M. Healey, in the firm's earnings release, attributed the AUM growth to "the long-term investment outperformance of (the firm's) alpha-generating affiliates and the strong execution of (its) growth strategy."

The company's institutional AUM totaled $488.6 billion, up 3.8% from Sept. 30 and up 21.8% from the same time a year ago. Mutual fund assets, meanwhile, totaled $232.7 billion as of Dec. 31, up 5% from three months earlier and up 23.6% from Dec. 31, 2016. The remaining assets are from high-net-worth clients.
