MMAFX Investment Objective and Strategy

AMG FQ Global Risk-Balanced Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by AMG Funds I.

Investment objective

"The AMG FQ Global Risk-Balanced Fund's (the ""Fund"") investment objective is to maximize total return."

Principal investment strategy

"The Fund seeks to provide a diversified, risk-balanced global market portfolio. The Fund attempts to balance risk and return by gaining exposure, generally through derivative instruments, to global equities, debt, currency markets, and commodities utilizing a proprietary dynamic asset allocation process. The Fund will invest in issuers, and/or have investments that expose the Fund to issuers, organized, located, or doing a substantial amount of business in a minimum of three countries, including the United States. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowing for investment purposes, in issuers organized, located, or doing a substantial amount of business outside the United States, including investments that expose the Fund to such issuers.

First Quadrant, L.P.'s (""First Quadrant"" or the ""Subadviser"") proprietary investment process is designed to seek to provide a diversified, risk-balanced global market portfolio. First Quadrant utilizes a risk-based approach and seeks to rebalance the Fund to manage portfolio risk. Applying this process, the Fund seeks to provide greater capital loss protection during down markets than traditional balanced portfolios, as well as participate in market gains. Generally, the Fund intends to allocate to the following asset classes: Inflation-Protected Securities ? Generally through investments in exchange traded funds (""ETFs"") and cash sovereign bonds. Sovereign (Foreign Country) Debt ? Generally through futures on foreign country debt indices and cash sovereign bonds, which may be used to increase income or hedge against the Fund's risks related to global equity exposure.

Global (U.S. and Non-U.S.) Equities ? Generally through equity investments and futures on equity country indices, although the Fund may also seek to gain exposure to various sectors by investing in ETFs. High Yield Bonds ? Generally through investments in ETFs and derivatives such as total return swaps, which may be used for diversification or other purposes. Commodities ? Generally through investments exposed to companies in the commodities sector and instruments linked to a commodity index or futures contract(s), particularly ETFs and exchange-traded notes (""ETNs""). Currency Markets ? Generally through the use of derivative instruments such as foreign currency forwards on developed or emerging currencies. In addition to the above, First Quadrant will generally maintain exposures to developed and emerging markets, small capitalization securities, and real estate investment trusts (""REITs"").

In selecting equity investments for the Fund, First Quadrant is not constrained by any particular investment style or capitalization range. In selecting debt investments for the Fund, First Quadrant has the flexibility to invest in debt-related investments of any credit quality and with any duration. The Fund may achieve long and short exposure to global equity, bond, and currency markets through a wide range of derivative instruments and direct investments. The Fund may take short positions in futures, including futures on indices and interest rate futures. The Fund may also invest directly in global equity securities and global fixed-income securities. In addition, the Fund may invest in commodity-linked derivative instruments and investment vehicles that exclusively invest in various commodities or have economic exposure to commodities."
