Comvest Partners’ Private Credit Business to be Acquired by Manulife

Underscores Value of AMG Partnership Model in Advancing Affiliates' Long-Term Objectives

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Aug. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMG, a strategic partner to leading independent investment management firms globally, today announced that it has entered into an agreement to sell its interest in Comvest Partners’ (“Comvest”) private credit business as part of the announced acquisition of the business by Manulife Financial Corporation.

Comvest is a leading private equity and direct lending investment firm that has supported the capital needs of North American middle-market companies for the past 25 years. AMG’s strategic engagement provided Comvest with growth capital and access to AMG’s capital formation capabilities, which accelerated the growth of Comvest’s credit franchise from $2 billion in assets under management at the inception of the partnership, more than five years ago, to $14 billion today.

“We enter all partnerships with the goal of magnifying our Affiliates’ long-term success, aligned with our partners across a range of outcomes,” said Jay C. Horgen, Chief Executive Officer of AMG. “We are pleased that AMG’s collaboration over the course of our partnership has enhanced Comvest’s business growth and its ability to achieve this positive outcome for all stakeholders.”

“We chose to partner with AMG because of its unique partnership model, which provided Comvest with access to valuable strategic capabilities to amplify our firm’s long-term growth trajectory, while preserving our independence,” said Michael Falk, Founder and Executive Chairman of Comvest. “AMG’s strategic engagement across a range of initiatives, including product development and distribution, has had a meaningful impact on Comvest’s competitive positioning and contributed to this outcome for our firm.”

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, AMG is expected to receive total cash consideration of approximately $285 million, subject to certain closing adjustments, representing a significant gain on AMG’s investment. As part of the transaction, AMG will retain an interest in the carry from certain existing private credit funds and a share of Comvest’s invested capital in these funds, as well as its interest in Comvest’s private equity business. As part of this transaction, AMG will also sell its interest in the AMG Comvest Senior Lending Fund joint venture.

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
