Investment Process: Bottom Up

The Valuation Problem

10

The Problem

w  GAAP accounting does not work well for REITs

w  Noise from non-core items obscures true value

w  Difficult to systematically compare stocks on an apples to apples basis

Popular but

Limited Solutions

Discounted Cash Flow

w  Overdependence on analyst assumptions

w  Fictional value for perpetual development and acquisitions

w  Did not work during the global financial crisis

NAV

w  Highly levered (small changes make a big difference)

w  Many premiums and discounts are nearly static with wide deviations existing for long periods

w  Did not work in 2015



The Valuation Solution

11

GAAP Accounting Does Not Fit

w  Straight line rent, lease termination fees, tenant improvement and leasing commission smoothing, differing accounting treatment for expense vs. capitalized items, nonrecurring items

Noise from Noncore Items

w  Separate valuation approach for non-income producing real estate assets

–  Development in progress

–  Land on balance sheet

–  Joint ventures

–  Management contracts and fee revenue

–  Asset sales

–  Mark to market debt

–  Cash

Difficult to Systematically

Compare Stocks

w  Innovative approach for making adjustments to P/E ratio, NAV and implied cap rate

w  CenterSquare’s proprietary relative value model compares companies inter- and intra-sector

Valuation philosophy grounded in 20+ years of market-tested experience w  Seek to provide consistent approach over time and across sectors and markets

w  Focus on comparing companies based on recurring cash flow from core real estate

w  Build and maintain models based on exhaustive review of public filings, never based on data streamed from database

w  Build in flexibility to run sensitivity analysis to macro-based assumptions

Returns from REIT investments are based on two primary factors:

w  Real estate valuations: Based on occupancy, rental rates, supply and demand factors and market sentiment

w  Rental income: REITs typically invest in commercial real estate with tenants that sign long-term leases. If properly diversified, the investment may result in a steady stream of income

Disclosures

Investors should carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. For this and other information, please call 800.835.3879 or visit amgfunds.com for a free prospectus. Read it carefully before investing or sending money. The Fund is subject to special risk considerations similar to those associated with the direct ownership of real estate. Real estate valuations may be subject to factors such as changing general and local economic, financial, competitive and environmental conditions.

Companies that are in similar businesses may be similarly affected by particular economic or market events; to the extent the Fund has substantial holdings within a particular sector, the risks associated with that sector increase.

A greater percentage of the Fund’s holdings may be focused in a smaller number of securities which may place the Fund at greater risk than a more diversified fund.

Investing in initial public offerings (IPOs) is risky and the prices of stocks purchased in IPOs tend to fluctuate more widely than stocks of companies that have been publicly traded for a longer period of time. Stocks purchased in IPOs generally do not have a trading history, and information about the companies may be available for very limited periods.

The Russell 1000® Index measures the performance of approximately 1,000 of the largest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell 1000 represents approximately 92% of the U.S. market.

The MSCI EAFE® Index (Europe, Australasia, Far East) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure developed market equity performance, excluding the U.S. and Canada. The MSCI EAFE Index consists of the following 21 developed market country indices: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index is an index of investment grade government and corporate bonds with a maturity rate of more than one year. Effective August 24, 2016, the Barclays indices were renamed Bloomberg Barclays Indices.

The Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index measures U.S. publicly traded real estate investment trusts.

The S&P 500 Index is capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks. The S&P 500 Index is designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries.

Unlike the Fund, the Indices are unmanaged, are not available for investment and do not incur expenses.
