1AMG Funds LLC (the "Investment Manager") has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2027, to waive management fees and/or pay or reimburse the Fund's expenses in order to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest (including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody overdrafts and in connection with securities sold short), shareholder servicing fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, dividends payable with respect to securities sold short, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) of the Fund to the annual rate of 0.34% of the Fund's average daily net assets (this annual rate or such other annual rate that may be in effect from time to time, the "Expense Cap"), subject to later reimbursement by the Fund in certain circumstances. In general, for a period of up to 36 months after the date any amounts are paid, waived or reimbursed by the Investment Manager, the Investment Manager may recover such amounts from the Fund, provided that such repayment would not cause the Fund's Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursements (exclusive of the items noted in the parenthetical above) to exceed either (i) the Expense Cap in effect at the time such amounts were paid, waived or reimbursed, or (ii) the Expense Cap in effect at the time of such repayment by the Fund. The contractual expense limitation may only be terminated in the event the Investment Manager or a successor ceases to be the investment manager of the Fund or a successor fund, by mutual agreement between the Investment Manager and the AMG Funds Board of Trustees or in the event of the Fund's liquidation unless the Fund is reorganized or is a party to a merger in which the surviving entity is successor to the accounting and performance information of the Fund.
Expense Example
This Example will help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund to the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example makes certain assumptions. It assumes that you invest $10,000 as an initial investment in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. It also assumes that your investment has a 5% total return each year and the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The first year of each amount shown in the Example reflects the Fund's contractual expense limitation through May 1, 2027. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on the above assumptions, your costs would be:
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
10 Years
Class N
$75
$248
$437
$983
Class I
$40
$141
$251
$572
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 61% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal bonds that are exempt from federal income tax. This policy is fundamental and may not be changed without shareholder approval. In addition, up to 100% of the Fund's assets may be invested in municipal bonds, the interest on which may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.
GW&K Investment Management, LLC, the subadviser to the Fund ("GW&K" or the "Subadviser"), normally invests in municipal bonds that are rated "investment grade" by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO"), such as Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or S&P Global Ratings ("S&P"). Investment grade securities are rated at least in the Baa major rating category by Moody's or the BBB major rating category by S&P or rated similarly by another NRSRO. From time to time, the Fund may invest in unrated municipal bonds, which are considered by the Subadviser to be of comparable quality and creditworthiness as investment grade

AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund SUMMARY PROSPECTUS
rated securities. In cases where the credit ratings agencies have assigned different credit ratings to the same security, the Fund will use the median rating when three NRSROs provide ratings (split-to-middle). When ratings are available from only two NRSROs, the Fund will assign the lower of the two ratings (split-to-low). The Fund may continue to hold securities that are downgraded in credit rating subsequent to their purchase if GW&K believes it would be advantageous to do so. The Fund has no limitations on the maturity of individual securities, but expects to maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of 6 to 12 years. The Fund expects to maintain an average effective duration of +/- 25% of the average effective duration of the Bloomberg 10-Year Municipal Bond Index, which was 5.76 years as of February 28, 2026. The Fund's average weighted portfolio maturity and duration may vary from time to time depending on the Subadviser's views on the direction of interest rates.
In selecting municipal bonds, the Subadviser uses a bottom-up, research-driven process based on its assessment of creditworthiness and geographic diversification of issuers and market availability of municipal bonds. The Subadviser typically invests for the long-term and seeks opportunities across the yield curve while retaining flexibility to react to interest rate shifts. Although the Fund invests nationally and seeks to be diversified by geography and across sectors of the municipal bond market, the Fund may at times invest a significant portion of its assets in a particular state or region or in a particular sector due to market conditions.
Principal Risks
There is the risk that you may lose money on your investment. All investments carry a certain amount of risk, and the Fund cannot guarantee that it will achieve its investment objective. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit or obligation of any bank, is not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank, and is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") or any other government agency.
Below are some of the risks of investing in the Fund. The risks are presented in an order intended to facilitate readability and their order does not imply that the realization of one risk is more likely to occur than another risk or likely to have a greater adverse impact than another risk. The significance of any specific risk to an investment in the Fund will vary over time, depending on the composition of the Fund's portfolio, market conditions, and other factors. You should read all of the risk information presented below carefully, because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the Fund.
Debt Securities Risk-the value of a debt security changes in response to various factors, including, for example, market-related factors, such as changes in interest rates or changes in the actual or perceived ability of an issuer to meet its obligations. Investments in debt securities are subject to, among other risks, credit risk, interest rate risk, extension risk, prepayment risk and liquidity risk.
Municipal Market Risk-factors unique to the municipal bond market may negatively affect the value of municipal bonds. These factors include political or legislative changes, and uncertainties related to the tax status of the securities and the rights of
investors in the securities. The Fund may invest in a group of municipal obligations that are related in such a way that an economic, business, or political development affecting one would also affect the others.
Interest Rate Risk-fixed coupon payments (cash flows) of bonds and debt securities may become less competitive with the market in periods of rising interest rates and cause bond prices to decline. During periods of increasing interest rates, the Fund may experience high levels of volatility and shareholder redemptions, and may have to sell securities at times when it would otherwise not do so, and at unfavorable prices, which could reduce the returns of the Fund.
Credit Risk-the issuer of bonds or other debt securities may be unable or unwilling, or may be perceived as unable or unwilling, to make timely interest or principal payments or otherwise honor its obligations. Changes in an issuer's financial strength, credit rating or the market's perception of an issuer's creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund's investment in that issuer.
Liquidity Risk-the Fund may not be able to dispose of particular investments, such as illiquid securities, readily at favorable times or prices or the Fund may have to sell them at a loss.
Changing Distribution Level Risk-the Fund will normally receive income which may include interest, dividends and/or capital gains, depending upon its investments. The distribution amount paid by the Fund will vary and generally depends on the amount of income the Fund earns (less expenses) on its portfolio holdings, and capital gains or losses it recognizes. A decline in the Fund's income or net capital gains arising from its investments may reduce its distribution level.
Extension Risk-during periods of rising interest rates, a debtor may pay back a bond or other fixed income security slower than expected or required, and the value of such security may fall.
Inflation/Deflation Risk-inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be worth less in the future. Inflation rates may change frequently and drastically as a result of various factors and the Fund's investments may not keep pace with inflation, which may result in losses to Fund investors or adversely affect the real value of shareholders' investments in the Fund. As inflation rates increase, fixed income securities markets may experience heightened levels of interest rate volatility and liquidity risk. Deflation risk is the risk that the prices throughout the economy decline over time - the opposite of inflation. Deflation may have an adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers and may make issuer default more likely, which may result in a decline in the value of the Fund's portfolio.
Management Risk-because the Fund is an actively managed investment portfolio, security selection or focus on securities in a particular style, market sector or group of companies may cause the Fund to incur losses or underperform relative to its benchmarks or other funds with a similar investment objective. There

can be no guarantee that the Subadviser's investment techniques and risk analysis will produce the desired result.
Market Risk-market prices of investments held by the Fund may fall rapidly or unpredictably due to a variety of factors, including economic or market conditions, or other factors including terrorism, war, natural disasters and the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, including epidemics or pandemics, or in response to events that affect particular industries or companies. In addition, unexpected political, regulatory, trade and diplomatic events within the United States and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree.
Prepayment Risk-a debtor may exercise its right to pay back a bond or other debt security earlier than expected or required during periods of decreasing interest rates.
Reinvestment Risk-the Fund may have difficulty reinvesting payments from debtors and may receive lower rates than from its original investments.
Sector Risk-issuers and companies that are in similar industry sectors 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 portion of the Fund's assets may be invested in fixed income securities that would tend to respond similarly to particular economic or political developments or the interest on which is based on revenues or otherwise related to similar types of projects. An example would be securities of issuers whose revenues are paid from similar types of projects, such as utilities or transportation.

Tax Information
The Fund intends to make distributions of exempt-interest dividends, which are generally not taxable to you for federal income tax purposes but may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies, including the Investment Manager, AMG Distributors, Inc.
