AMG's revenues also fell, dropping to $116.7 million from $129.6 million a year ago. However, assets under management ended the quarter at $77.3 billion, up $3.2 billion from 2002.

Darrell Crate, AMG's chief financial officer, told analysts that expects cash earnings for the year to fall somewhere between $4.70 to $4.75 per share barring any substantial move in stock prices.
