AMG Deepens Partnership, Increases Stake in Garda Capital Partners Amid AUM Growth

Affiliated Managers Group (AMG) has announced an increased minority investment in Garda Capital Partners, a prominent liquid alternatives manager specializing in fixed income relative value strategies. This strategic move deepens an existing partnership initiated in 2019, during which Garda Capital Partners has seen its assets under management (AUM) grow significantly to exceed $12 billion. The investment aligns with AMG's long-term strategy to invest in specialized asset managers while ensuring their operational independence. Garda Capital Partners will maintain majority ownership by its management team, reflecting a continued commitment to its established leadership. AMG will continue to account for this investment using the equity method, consistent with its approach to minority stakes. This collaboration underscores AMG's focus on high-growth, specialized investment firms that demonstrate strong performance and strategic alignment.
