(NYSE: AMG), a leading partner to independent active investment management firms globally, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a majority equity interest in Parnassus Investments (\u201cParnassus\u201d). After the closing of the transaction, Parnassus partners will continue to own a substantial portion of the equity of the firm and direct its day-to-day operations consistent with AMG\u2019s partnership approach, which is recognized by the marketplace for preserving the operating and investment independence of AMG Affiliates.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With approximately $47 billion under management as of June 30, 2021, Parnassus has been a pioneer in active responsible investing for more than 35 years, focused on investing in companies that generate returns and also have a positive impact on society. Founded in San Francisco in 1984, the firm integrates deep fundamental and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) research into its collaborative, high-conviction, low turnover investment process, and is today the largest pure-play ESG mutual fund company in the U.S. With more than 95% of its mutual fund AUM in strategies with a Morningstar Rating<sup>TM<\/sup> of 4 or 5 stars, and each of its equity funds maintaining top sustainability ratings, Parnassus intends to provide investors with attractive long-term, risk-adjusted returns by investing in high-quality businesses at reasonable prices. As with all AMG Affiliates, the Parnassus investment process will not change as a result of its partnership with AMG, and the Parnassus investment team will remain fully independent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very pleased to have the opportunity to partner with Parnassus, as we have tremendous respect for its multi-decade work in sustainable investing and the high-quality business built by an outstanding management team,\u201d said Jay C. Horgen, President and Chief Executive Officer of AMG. \u201cHaving known the senior partners for more than a decade, AMG has developed a unique relationship with this team and closely followed the evolution of their business; when the time was right for Parnassus to choose a permanent partner and complete the first generational transition in the firm\u2019s long-term succession plan, the team chose AMG. For nearly four decades, and across numerous market cycles, Parnassus has integrated fundamental financial and ESG research with the goal of achieving attractive risk-adjusted returns for its clients. As our third Affiliate wholly dedicated to responsible and impact investing, AMG\u2019s partnership with Parnassus further enhances our strategic participation in ESG investing, one of the fastest-growing segments in the investment industry, and an area of increasingly significant focus for clients globally. I am very pleased to welcome Ben Allen, Todd Ahlsten, and their partners to our Affiliate group.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven our longstanding relationship with AMG, and its three-decade history of successful partnerships with independent active investment firms, we are excited about our new partnership. We believe it provides long-term certainty for our clients and enhances the competitive positioning of our business,\u201d said Benjamin E. Allen, Chief Executive Officer of Parnassus. \u201cSince our founding, we have been committed to remaining independent and investing based on both Principles <em>and<\/em> Performance<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>. AMG\u2019s unique partnership approach preserves our firm\u2019s entrepreneurial and investment-centric culture, which is essential to our clients and team; the cultural alignment between Parnassus and AMG, with our firms\u2019 respective long-term partnership orientations and strong shared belief in sustainable investing, made our decision clear. Todd Ahlsten and I have committed to provide leadership to our firm for many years to come, and other members of the partnership group will be aligned with the long-term interests of our investors, and AMG, through equity ownership in Parnassus. With this new partnership, we are well-positioned to continue to build an enduring, multi-generational, partner-owned investment firm that serves the sustainable investing needs of our clients.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The closing of the transaction will represent the culmination of the transition from founder Jerome Dodson, who retired from portfolio management and all managerial duties in 2020, to the next generation of leadership. Mr. Dodson and his family will no longer retain any ownership of Parnassus. Mr. Dodson said, \u201cI started Parnassus Investments more than 35 years ago because I believed that one could invest according to their values and still beat the market. I\u2019m gratified to see how many investors are now investing the way we have at Parnassus for so many years. I am proud of Parnassus\u2019 seasoned leadership team and very pleased that the company we built will live on to serve generations of clients to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The terms of the transaction were not disclosed. AMG expects that the investment in Parnassus will contribute approximately $70 million to Adjusted EBITDA and $1.30 to Economic earnings per share in 2022, and the transaction will be funded with existing corporate resources. Mr. Allen and Mr. Ahlsten will enter into long-term employment agreements with the firm. The transaction, which is expected to close during the second half of 2021, is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.<\/p>\n<p>Moelis &amp; Company LLC acted as exclusive financial advisor to Parnassus Investments.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About AMG<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>AMG is a leading partner to independent active investment management firms globally.

Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product\u2019s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating\/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating\/30% five-year rating\/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. As of 04\/30\/21, the Parnassus Core Equity Fund \u2013 Investor Share was rated against the following numbers of Large Blend funds over the following time periods: 1,224 funds in the last three years, 1,055 funds in the last five years and 795 funds in the last 10 years. The Fund received a Morningstar Rating of 5, 5 and 5 stars for the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods, respectively. The Parnassus Mid Cap Fund \u2013 Investor Share was rated against the following numbers of Mid-Cap Blend funds over the following time periods: 377 funds in the last three years, 308 funds in the last five years and 215 funds in the last 10 years. The Fund received a Morningstar Rating of 4, 4 and 5 stars for the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods, respectively. The Parnassus Endeavor Fund \u2013 Investor Share was rated against the following numbers of Large Value funds over the following time periods: 1,131 funds in the last three years, 1,001 funds in the last five years and 727 funds in the last 10 years.

The Morningstar Historical Sustainability Score is a weighted average of the trailing 12 months of Morningstar Portfolio Sustainability Scores. More-recent portfolios are weighted more heavily than older portfolios. Based on their Morningstar Historical Sustainability Score, funds are assigned absolute category and percent ranks within their Morningstar Global Categories. Higher ratings are better and indicate that a fund has, on average, more of its assets invested in companies that have lower ESG risk as characterized by Sustainalytics. The Morningstar Sustainability Rating is depicted by globe icons where High equals 5 globes and Low equals 1 globe. Morningstar updates its Sustainability Ratings monthly and uses Sustainalytics\u2019 ESG scores from the same month as the portfolio as-of date.
