Dear Shareholder:

The AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund employs a number of arbitrage investment strategies, generally using corporate securities, with which we seek to capture liquidity premia related to corporate events. These strategies include convertible arbitrage, merger arbitrage, distressed investments, and other types of arbitrage and event strategies. In order to pursue these strategies, the Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of securities and instruments, including equities, convertible securities, debt securities, loans and restricted securities, as well as warrants, options, swaps, futures contracts, forwards and other types of derivative instruments. We tactically allocate the Fund’s assets across various corporate arbitrage strategies based on investable opportunities, anticipated returns and overall market conditions.

“Arbitrage,” in textbooks, refers to the simultaneous purchase and sale of identical securities at different prices. Unfortunately, textbook arbitrage investments are rare. When referred to in an investment context, arbitrage refers to strategies that place offsetting trades in related securities when the relative prices of the related securities diverge. The goal of arbitrage investing is to purchase undervalued securities and simultaneously sell short related overvalued securities, recognizing that there is a risk that the price difference will get larger rather than smaller.

For example, in merger arbitrage, the typical trade is to purchase shares in a firm that is the target of a takeover offer when those shares trade at a discount to the consideration being offered by the acquiring firm, and to hold the “target” shares until merger completion. We liken this discount to a liquidity premium realized from purchasing shares from various entities that do not want to bear the risk that the merger will fail to be consummated. Mutual funds and others often sell target shares soon after a merger is announced because the stock’s risk/return profile no longer fits their investment strategy. If the acquirer offers to pay for the merger with its own stock, isolating the liquidity premium associated with deal-failure risk requires the arbitrageur to short stock of the acquiring firm based on the exchange ratio provided by the merger agreement. In addition to isolating deal risk, shorting the acquirer’s stock mitigates market risk.

Similarly, in convertible-bond arbitrage, a long position in an issuer’s convertible bond is offset with a corresponding short position in the issuer’s underlying equity. For every position, across all strategies, we attempt to hedge systematic market risk either by shorting a directly linked security such as in a stock merger, or alternatively, when a direct hedge is infeasible, by using an indirect hedge such as shorting S&P 500 futures. In addition to hedging systematic equity risk, we also seek to insulate the Fund’s returns from credit and interest-rate risk by shorting credit indices and Treasury futures.

The Diversified Arbitrage Fund Class I returned 1.75% during the 2013 calendar year. During the corresponding period, the Merrill Lynch 3-Month Treasury Bill Index (the Fund’s benchmark) returned 0.07% and the S&P 500 returned 32.39%. Based on

AQR DIVERSIFIED ARBITRAGE FUND   

 

monthly return data from inception (January 15, 2009) through December 31, 2013, the Fund’s equity market beta (relative to the S&P 500) is 0.06, the annualized volatility is 2.3%, and the Sharpe ratio is 1.7.

For the fifth straight year, the Fund outperformed its benchmark. Because of direct hedges using linked securities and indirect portfolio hedges, the Fund has exhibited low volatility and a low equity-market beta. The Fund’s annualized volatility of 2.3% compares with the S&P 500’s realized volatility of 15.2% during the past five years. Not surprisingly, the hedges have detracted considerably from the Fund’s performance during the year, an expected result in the face of raging equity and high-yield markets.

As the objective of the Fund is to capture a liquidity premium arising from temporary mispricing of securities around corporate events, the purpose of the hedges is to insulate the Fund from systematic market movements, positive and negative. Thus, even in a year in which the stock market experiences a loss, we would expect the Fund to realize a positive return. Of course, the Fund is not immune to extreme stress periods such as the financial crisis of 2008, when corporate arbitrage strategies realized losses amid the contemporaneous flight to quality. Notably, though, these flight-to-quality losses tend to be temporary, and such periods are the most promising in terms of anticipated returns for the kinds of corporate arbitrage strategies implemented by the Fund.

In the context of absolute expected returns, the realized return was below expectations. However, on a risk-adjusted basis, the returns were in line with expectations as described more fully below. Specifically, we positioned the Fund defensively throughout the year. In last year’s annual letter, we noted that 2012 was a year in which we experienced the lowest deal flow and activity in our many years of arbitrage investing through various cycles. Low deal activity continued, and even worsened, in 2013, and thus arbitrage opportunities were lacking.

In addition, the widespread search for yield caused by the prolonged low interest-rate environment spilled over to the corporate arbitrage market as crossover buyers emerged in some of our typical investment strategies causing spreads to compression and reducing expected returns. In many cases, we avoided arbitrage investments simply because expected returns did not exceed the benchmark return by a sufficient cushion. Rather, we felt it more prudent to retain excess cash in case more-attractive opportunities presented themselves.

There is a spectrum of investments in arbitrage strategies, some of which offer substantial higher potential returns (but not necessarily higher expected returns); these include wide-spread merger deals, busted convertible bonds with very risky credit, and distressed securities with extreme downside possibilities that could potentially generate a higher return. However, given the lack of deal flow in 2013, increasing position weights in these types of investments would have exposed the Fund to additional risk and would have violated our rule-of-thumb of sizing positions such that individual deal failures do not impose losses greater than 1% of the Fund’s NAV.

It is in the context of refraining from violating risk guidelines that the realized return in 2013 was below expectations in terms of returns, yet in line with expectations on a risk-adjusted basis. Throughout the year, the Fund was defensively positioned across strategies. For example, within the convertible arbitrage strategy, we purposely held equity-sensitive convertible securities that can be hedged against directional moves in equity and credit markets using short positions in the underlying equity. Specifically, we chose not to make allocations on more credit-sensitive and busted convertibles as we felt the credit-sensitive convertibles were priced fully given their downside potential in an adverse credit environment.

AQR DIVERSIFIED ARBITRAGE FUND   

 

The volatility of the Fund during the year was consistent with our defensive portfolio positioning. The Fund did not realize any substantial losses at the individual deal level – the most extreme loss was only -0.20%, and the worst monthly return was -0.45%. Moreover, the annualized volatility during the year, based on monthly returns, was only 1.0%, well below the volatility of 2.5% realized by the Fund from inception through 2012. Thus, while we would not assert that we were pleased with the return performance on an absolute return basis, we do feel that it performed as expected given the opportunity set and underlying risk.

Attributions for the Fund’s 2013 gain of 1.75% are as follows: merger arbitrage contributed +0.87%, convertible arbitrage contributed +0.45%, event-driven credit contributed +0.22%, and all other remaining strategies contributed +0.21%. The contribution from merger arbitrage resulted from successful deal closings in a stable and tight spread environment. Deals generally closed on time and without major disruptions. Merger spreads remained tight relative to historical levels, largely because of a low expected failure rate as the deal universe is of high quality, consisting of transactions that do not require substantial leverage in order to be consummated. The contribution from convertible arbitrage largely stemmed from modest richening of the convertible debentures in the portfolio. The convertible richening appears to be driven by inflows into non-arbitrage convertible funds and has resulted in the pricing of some bonds above fundamental values. When this occurs, we sell the richly priced convertibles and reallocate the capital to cheaply-priced convertibles.

In the current market, cheaper convertible bonds tend to be equity-sensitive as these behave like equities and are less attractive than balanced convertible bonds to non-arbitrage funds. For arbitrage investors, cheap in-the-money convertibles are attractive as the equity risk can be easily hedged via short sales of the underlying equity. The gain from the event-driven credit strategy was driven by several small investments in distressed securities, many involving companies in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. We tend to put small weights in distressed investments and hedge the portfolio of distressed securities using credit-defaults swaps on high-yield indices. Our credit hedge related to distressed investments generated a loss of -0.73%, but we view this as a necessary cost given our mandate to minimize not only systematic equity risk but also systematic credit and interest rate risk.

As noted above, investing opportunities in arbitrage strategies were limited in 2013 as overall deal flow continued to be depressed relative to historical levels. However, during the second half of the year for spinoffs, and the fourth quarter for convertibles, we experienced a substantial increase in activity. For example, in the convertible market, new issuance increased markedly from $7 billion in the 3rd quarter to $18 billion in the 4th quarter. Overall, companies issued $49 billion of new convertible bonds in 2013, more than double the $22 billion issued in 2012. We believe this increase in spinoff activity and in convertible issuance will continue in 2014, and are hopeful that other strategies such as merger arbitrage will also realize a pickup in deal flow.

Notwithstanding this recent increase in corporate event activity, risk premiums continue to remain tight for arbitrage strategies. Thus, we will continue to defensively position the portfolio by maintaining conservative leverage and preserving our ability to deploy capital when opportunities arise. Importantly, irrespective of where the Fund deploys capital in 2014, it will continue to hedge systematic equity, credit and interest-rate risk, with the intention of delivering uncorrelated positive returns.1

Note that the Fund utilizes various derivatives instruments (e.g., futures, options, forwards, and swaps), primarily to hedge systematic risks including credit risk and interest rate risk. While the purpose of employing derivatives instruments is to decrease the Fund’s overall risk, hedging instruments are imperfect tools and their effectiveness depends on the degree of price correlation between the derivative instruments and the assets being hedged. Imperfect correlation may be caused by several factors, including temporary price disparities between derivative markets and markets for the underlying assets.

Dear Shareholder:

The AQR Long-Short Equity Fund seeks to provide higher risk-adjusted returns with lower volatility compared to global equity markets. It does so using three different sources of return: 1) the potential gains from its long-short equity positions, 2) overall exposure to equity markets, and 3) the tactical variation of its net exposure to equity markets. The strategy primarily seeks to add alpha via its long-short (market-neutral) stock portfolio. It also manages its beta relative to the MSCI World Index to a long-term target of 0.5, and within a shorter-term range between 0.3 and 0.7, depending on our market views.

Global developed equity markets performed well since inception of the Fund (July 16, 2013), driven mainly by positive growth in the U.S. and Europe. The Fund’s custom benchmark (50% MSCI World Index/50% Merrill Lynch 3-Month T-Bill Index) delivered strong returns of 5.68% over this period. The Fund handily outperformed this benchmark, returning 11.17%.

The stock selection strategy contributed to the majority of the outperformance and returned 6.5% since inception. Returns were driven by the strong performance of nearly all of our investment themes. In particular our industry-relative valuation and momentum signals contributed the most to returns, even though they tend to be negatively correlated. Geographically, stocks in the U.S. and Australia contributed the most to overall returns, while Norwegian and Finnish stocks detracted slightly from performance. At the sector level, the stock selection strategy worked best in consumer discretionary and industrials over the period.

The Fund benefitted from its static long-term beta exposure of 0.5 to the MSCI World, given this index’s strong performance. Our tactical market exposure (the desired deviation from a beta of 0.5) was flat throughout the majority of the period, and so did not contribute meaningfully to returns.

The Fund ended the year with a highly diversified stock portfolio of 464 long positions and 395 short positions. Securities remained globally diversified with over 40% of the Fund invested outside of the U.S. The stock selection strategy does make small industry allocations. As of the end of the year, our largest sector overweights were in healthcare and consumer discretionary, while our largest underweights were in materials and telecommunications.

Although our tactical market position was flat throughout most of the period, our view was moderately bearish by the end of the year. This was driven by unfavorable valuation and fundamental momentum indicators, which offset positive momentum signals from a generally bullish market. We consequently moved from our long-term beta target of 0.5 to a short-term position of 0.4.

Dear Shareholder:

The AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund actively invests in futures and forward contracts both long and short across the global equity, fixed income, commodity and currency markets.

Fund managers use both short- and long-term trend-following signals to attempt to profit from different trends that occur in all of these markets.

Trend-following can be simply described as going long markets that are rising in price, and going short markets that are falling in price.

In addition to trend-following signals, we also incorporate signals that seek to identify overextended trends and reduce risk when the chance of a reversal is perceived as higher than normal, since market reversals generally cause losses for trend-following strategies.

We expect that the correlation of this strategy to the equity markets will average close to zero over a full economic cycle. That said, it is the nature of the strategy to exhibit a positive beta when the markets have been rising and a negative beta when the markets have been falling.

The strategy had strong relative and absolute performance for the full year 2013, with returns of +9.40% versus returns of +0.07% for the Merrill Lynch 3-Month Treasury Bill index and returns of +2.70% for the Newedge CTA Trend Index, a benchmark comprised of trend-following managed futures hedge funds. By asset class, equities contributed +7.07%, fixed income detracted -3.08%, commodities contributed +0.75%, and currencies added +4.66%.

The Fund began the year in a bullish position following strong trends in equities and risk-sensitive currency markets. Bullish trends grew stronger and peaked mid-February, as risky assets rallied globally following a compromise over the federal budget in the U.S. The portfolio reduced risk through April, as declining growth in emerging markets and falling inflation expectations in the developed world led to a large short position in growth-sensitive commodities. In June, bearish stimulus positioning by the U.S. Federal Reserve caused global short-term trends to turn bearish, and the Fund moved to neutral positioning. During the second half of the year, equities experienced a second bull market as the Federal Reserve surprised markets with delayed tapering. Improved economic data in the U.S. and European economies furthered buoyed stocks, and the Fund finished December with an expected portfolio beta of +0.4 to the S&P 500 equity index.

The strategy’s average annualized volatility target is 10%, which we allow to vary based on the conditional attractiveness of trends in the markets we trade. The Fund entered the year targeting its long-run average of 10% volatility, as bullish high-conviction trends in global equity and currency markets were balanced by weaker and

AQR MANAGED FUTURES STRATEGY FUND   

 

short-risk trends in fixed income and commodities. The Fund ended the year targeting a slightly low below average expected volatility of 8.7%, off conflicting long- and short-term signals.

Long-term trend-following signals performed well, contributing profitably in every asset class other than fixed income, where choppy markets throughout the year led to losses. Shorter-term signals detracted, as reversals over monetary policy in fixed income and commodities overwhelmed small gains from short-term trend-following in equity and currency markets. This does not prove that long-term trend-following is superior to short-term trend-following, they just work in different environments. Given the difficultly of predicting which environment will prevail, the strategy is diversified across many horizons of trend following in order to perform well across a greater variety of market environments. Overextended trend signals were about flat over the year, as slight losses from risk reduction in equities and currencies were balanced by contributions from identifying overextended trends in fixed income and commodities.

In equities, the Fund began the year strongly bullish on all developed and emerging markets amid the agreement of short- and long-term signals. The Fund remained positioned long throughout the first quarter across nearly all markets, and benefited from global equities rallying off budgetary compromises in the U.S. and a successful containment of the Cypriot banking crisis in the Eurozone. Global equities fell in May and June over concerns of tightening by the Federal Reserve and a credit squeeze in China, resulting in losses in the Fund’s long positions. European equities rallied in the third quarter as a result of better than expected economic statistics in the European periphery and accommodative comments from the European Central Bank, which benefitted the Fund’s long positions. In the fourth quarter, developed equities continued their year-long rally, and rose on improved data and risk sentiment. Based on agreement between long- and short-term trends, the Fund ended the year long developed markets and short in some emerging markets.

In fixed income, the Fund began the quarter with small long positions in most assets due to bearish short-term trends conflicting with long-term bullish trends. In May and June, global fixed income reversed and fell sharply on fears that the Federal Reserve would reduce bond purchases. Fixed-income markets were whipsawed again in the third quarter, as firming economic data and accommodative comments from the European Central Bank led markets to turn higher. Global fixed-income markets continued their choppiness in the fourth quarter, as supportive monetary policy early in the quarter conflicted with rising risk sentiment and plans for tapering by the Federal Reserve. The Fund ended the year generally short, except for long positions in Japanese bonds and Canadian and European rates.

In commodities, the Fund entered the year with short positions in soft commodities and metals, and mixed positions in grains and energies. After an initial January rally, commodities outside of energies declined on slowing emerging economies. During the second quarter, commodities fell broadly on further reductions in emerging markets growth and a credit squeeze in China, which strongly benefited the Fund. Shorts in precious metals led to the largest gains amid speculation of an accelerated tightening schedule by the Federal Reserve. In the last three months of the year, metals and agricultural commodities fell on weakness in emerging markets, while energies rallied on improved growth in the U.S. The Fund ended the year long all energies, with shorts in Metals and Agricultural products.

In the currency markets, the Fund’s largest positions entering the year were shorts in the U.S. Dollar, Euro, and Yen vs. long positions in other developed- and emerging-market currencies. The Fund’s short position in the Yen against other currencies was profitable, as the Yen fell during the first half of the year on efforts by the Bank of Japan to weaken the currency and increase inflation. In the final three months of the year, crosses long the Euro or short the Yen were outsize contributors to the Fund, as the Yen declined sharply

on stimulative government policy and the Euro rallied on improving economic data. The Fund ended the year with long positions in the Euro and emerging currencies, and shorts in the Yen and U.S. Dollar.

Overall, we believe this year continued to illustrate the importance of our fund construction, which emphasizes diversification across asset classes as well as diversification across signals. Strong performance in currencies and equities left the Fund with large gains despite choppiness in fixed income. Long term momentum signals provided large positive returns despite reversals in short-term trends.

Dear Shareholder:

The AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund actively invests in futures and forward contracts both long and short across the global equity, fixed income, commodity and currency markets.

Fund managers use both short- and long-term trend-following signals to attempt to profit from different trends that occur in all of these markets.

Trend-following can be simply described as going long markets that are rising in price, and going short markets that are falling in price.

In addition to trend-following signals, we also incorporate signals that seek to identify overextended trends and reduce risk when the chance of a reversal is perceived as higher than normal, since market reversals generally cause losses for trend-following strategies.

We expect that the correlation of this strategy to the equity markets will average close to zero over a full economic cycle. That said, it is the nature of the strategy to exhibit a positive beta when the markets have been rising and a negative beta when the markets have been falling.

The strategy had strong relative and absolute performance since inception in July through 2013, the Fund’s Class I shares returned +8.14% versus returns of +0.02% for the Merrill Lynch 3-Month Treasury Bill index and returns of +2.16% for the Newedge CTA Trend Index, a benchmark comprised of trend-following managed futures hedge funds. By asset class, equities contributed +5.28%, fixed income detracted -0.54%, commodities detracted -1.96%, and currencies added +5.36%.

The Fund launched with a bullish position following strong trends in equity markets and moderate downtrends in safe-haven fixed income markets. Although bearish trends in currency markets led to reduced risk in August, equities experienced a second bull market during the remainder of the year as the Federal Reserve surprised markets with delayed tapering. Improved economic data in the U.S. and European economies furthered buoyed stocks and risky currencies, and the Fund finished December with an expected portfolio beta of +0.64 to the S&P 500 Index.

The strategy’s average annualized volatility target is 15%, which we allow to vary based on the conditional attractiveness of trends in the markets we trade. The Fund launched targeting its long-run average of 15% volatility, as bullish high-conviction trends in global equity markets were balanced by short-risk trends in commodities and currencies. The Fund ended the year targeting a slightly low below average expected volatility of 13.0%, off conflicting long- and short-term signals.

Long-term trend-following signals performed well, contributing strongly in equities and currencies. Shorter-term signals detracted, as reversals over monetary policy led to small losses in fixed income and commodities. This does not prove that long-term trend-following is superior to short-term trend-following, they just work in different environments. Given the difficultly of predicting which environment will prevail, the strategy is diversified across many horizons of trend following in order to perform well across a greater variety of market environments. Overextended trend signals slightly detracted over the year, on risk reduction in equities and currencies.

In equities, the Fund launched in July strongly bullish all global equity markets outside of China and Korea, on agreement of short- and long-term trend signals. Equities rallied strongly following accommodation by the U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) and better than expected economic statistics in the European periphery, which benefitted the Fund’s long positions. In the fourth quarter, developed equities continued their year-long rally, and rose on improved data and risk sentiment. Emerging markets generally underperformed, on worsening fundamental data and credit squeeze in China. Based on agreement between long- and short-term trends, the Fund ended the year long developed markets and short in some emerging markets.

In fixed income, the Fund launched with short positions in all fixed-income markets on bearish short- and long-term trends. Fixed-income markets were whipsawed during the third quarter, as firming economic data and accommodative comments from the European Central Bank led markets to turn higher. Global fixed-income markets continued their choppiness during the last three months of the year, as supportive monetary policy early in the quarter conflicted with rising risk sentiment and plans for tapering by the Federal Reserve. The Fund ended the year generally short, except for long positions in Japanese bonds and Canadian and European rates.

In commodities, the Fund launched this year with short positions in metals and energies outside of natural gas, and mixed positions in grains and soft commodities. Commodities were generally choppy, and reversed on uncertainty surrounding monetary policy and growth in the emerging world. During the third quarter, base and precious metals rose as a result of dovish monetary policy and a delay in Fed tapering, which hurt the Fund’s short positions. In the last three months of the year, metals and agricultural commodities fell on weakness in emerging markets, while energies rallied on improved growth in the U.S. The Fund ended the year long all energies, with shorts in metals and agricultural products.

In the currency markets, the Fund’s largest positions at launch were longs in the Euro and U.S. dollar and shorts in the Yen and Australian dollar. During the third quarter, our short in the Yen was a large detractor, as the currency whipsawed over economic uncertainty. During the last three months of the year, crosses long the Euro or short the Yen were outsize contributors to the Fund, as the Yen declined sharply on stimulative government policy and the Euro rallied on improving economic data. The Fund ended the year with long positions in the Euro and emerging currencies, and shorts in the Yen and U.S. dollar.

Overall, we believe this year continued to illustrate the importance of our fund construction, which emphasizes diversification across asset classes as well as diversification across signals. Strong performance in currencies and equities left the Fund with large gains despite choppiness in fixed income and commodities. Long term momentum signals provided large positive returns despite reversals in short-term trends.

Dear Shareholders:

The AQR Risk Balanced Commodities Fund’s Class I shares returned -16.0% for 2013, as commodities across the board experienced historic sell-offs on bearish fundamentals. Precious metals, in particular, exhibited one of the worst years ever in 2013, as gold and silver fell by -28.5% and -36.4%, respectively, as many lost faith in the sector as a store of value amidst Federal Reserve (“Fed”) tapering. Grains also depreciated significantly throughout 2013. Corn and wheat performed especially poorly, falling -29.4% and -26.5% respectively. Global supply outlook was extremely bearish throughout the year, as both commodities were forecast to achieve record setting harvests, as production rebounded from the 2012 drought. Soybean futures, on the other hand, were slightly positive on the year, buoyed by dry weather in major growing areas during the summer months, in addition to signs of increased global demand. Base metals also sold off, driven in large part by Fed tapering and signs of slowing emerging growth. In contrast, oil and refined products performed strongly throughout the year, benefitting from significant US inventory draws and increased geopolitical risk in the middle-east, as well as stronger economic data later in the year. Natural gas performed strongly as well, supported by colder than expected weather during the first and fourth quarters. Throughout the year, precious metals was the most significant detractor in the portfolio, detracting -5.7%. Base metals detracted -4.2%, grains -3.7%, softs -2.1%, and livestock -0.7%, while energies contributed +0.3%.

While the Class I declined -16.01% in 2013, the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index (“DJ-UBS”) declined -9.5%. Although we expect the Fund to outperform traditional passive indices over the long term, in any given year we expect the Fund to average a sizable tracking error of about 10% per year to its benchmark. Given this, the underperformance of -6.5% for this year, while disappointing, is within the expected range. This brings our annualized since inception (7/9/2012) underperformance to -5.14%. This also is not abnormally high given an expected annual tracking error of 10% to the benchmark.

The underperformance relative to the passive DJ-UBS benchmark was due to a number of fund features. The Fund maintained an average net exposure of slightly greater than 100% during the year in order to target steady volatility, subject to our drawdown control process. This resulted in underperformance versus the passive index given the declines across most commodity sectors during the year. Another source of underperformance was the Fund’s risk-balanced strategic allocation, which is more exposed to precious metals and less exposed to energies than the passive benchmark. Precious metals was the bottom performing sector while energies was the top performing sector, so our sector allocation tilts hurt relative performance. In contrast, tactical models helped mitigate these losses, with gains coming primarily from bearish views on precious metals, which arose from trend-following and relative value signals early in the year.

The Fund began the year at a volatility target of 17.6%, reflecting tactically neutral views and a strategic volatility target of 18.0%. Given the significant declines in

commodities in 2013, the Fund’s drawdown control system served to reduce exposures throughout the year, resulting in a Fund risk target as low as 8.5% during April, after hawkish minutes by the Fed resulted in a broad-based commodity decline. At year-end, the strategic risk target is 11.4%, reflecting both tactically bearish views and a lowered strategic risk target due to drawdown control.

Moving to return attribution, the strategic portion of the portfolio returned -18.2% while tactical tilts added +2.2%. The strategic return in this attribution is the return to a long-only portfolio with risk-balanced sector weights and a volatility target of 18% annualized (subject to drawdown control). The tactical returns are the active returns to commodity over- and underweights relative to this strategic portfolio.

The main contributor to tactical performance was an underweight to precious metals. We established our precious metals underweight during the first quarter, when precious metals looked overvalued on a long term basis and had been trending downward on multiple horizons, and remained underweight the rest of the year. Precious metals looked unattractive both directionally and relative to other commodity sectors. This underweight helped mitigate losses as trends continued and precious metals fell significantly, primarily on issues surrounding the Fed’s tapering decision.

At year-end, the Fund’s tactical positioning reflected bearish views on commodities as a whole due to technical weakness. Within energies, we prefer brent crude relative to West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude, mostly due to the difference in curve shape. As of year-end, the brent futures curve was more backwardated (futures with a later expiration date were cheaper), reflecting tightness in the global oil market and providing a positive roll yield, while the front of the WTI futures curve was in contango (futures with later expiry are more expensive), reflecting a glut of inventory in the U.S. and providing a negative roll yield. Within precious metals, we prefer silver to gold due to differing seasonal demand patterns. Within the grains, we are bullish corn relative to the wheat, mostly on risk premia and long-term valuation signals. At the sector level, we are underweight precious metals and overweight energies, driven by a combination of valuation, momentum, and risk-premia signals.

The Fund finished its first full year with unfortunately poor relative and absolute returns. However, while short term results can be noisy, in the long term we believe the Fund’s broader diversification, strong risk management, and active commodity selection will ultimately deliver more steady volatility and strong returns across market environments.

Dear Shareholder:

Through the use of derivatives such as futures and swaps, the AQR Risk Parity Fund invests across a wide variety of global markets – including: developed- and emerging-market equities, fixed income and currencies, global credit (corporate, government and mortgage), and commodities – in an attempt to build a truly diversified portfolio where all asset classes matter, but no one asset class matters too much. Risk Parity investing involves allocating investments by risk, which means that instruments with less risk will generally be allocated more capital than instruments that are deemed more risky. As markets move through different risk regimes, the portfolio is dynamically adjusted with the goal of keeping overall portfolio risk and the balance of risk across asset classes fairly steady through time. We believe this leads to more consistent results, reduces tail risks associated with investments in the capital markets, and enables the investor to remain invested through more difficult market environments.

In addition to adjusting position sizes to control for increasing or decreasing risk expectations, we also overlay modest portfolio tilts based on AQR’s proprietary expected return models, which include signals based on carry, momentum, valuation, and other important economic variables. These views determine over- and underweights across a broad array of global markets. The ultimate goal is to build a portfolio that in the long run will deliver higher returns at a risk level similar to that of traditional portfolios by combining a better asset allocation with return-boosting tactical tilts.

The Fund is expected to remain long all of the markets in which we invest while averaging a moderate (under 0.5 on average) beta to the stock market over a full market cycle. The targeted annualized volatility for the Fund is 10%, on average, which varies modestly over time based on our perceptions of tactical opportunities within the different asset classes we trade. We started and ended the year close to the 10% long term average, with a slightly lower target at the end due to more underweight tactical positions. However, the Fund targeted significantly less volatility in parts of the second and third quarters as the risk target was cut, and subsequently raised, in accordance with our drawdown control policy. Fund exposures dropped sharply in June as asset volatility rose and the Fund’s target risk was cut.

Total exposures ended the year somewhat lower than they began the year, due to decreases in developed-market bonds, emerging currencies, and inflation-linked bonds. However, credit spread, commodities and developed-market equities actually ended the year with meaningfully higher exposures than at the start of the year. With these moves, the Fund went from a 0.41 beta versus the S&P 500 Index at the end of 2012 to a 0.65 beta at the end of 2013.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund’s Class I shares returned +0.12% and realized an annualized volatility of 9.20%. During this period, the Fund’s benchmark the Merrill Lynch 3-Month Treasury returned +0.07% and a 60/40

benchmark consisting of 60% S&P 500 Index/40% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned +17.57% at an average realized volatility of 6.49%. The Fund’s net assets across all share classes were over $930 million at the end of 2013.

The Fund experienced gains in two of the four major asset class buckets for the full year. To the net total return of +0.12% for 2013, equities contributed +5.89%, fixed income detracted -3.42%, inflation-linked assets detracted -5.02%, and credit assets added +2.67%. Tactical tilts contributed positively in all asset classes.

The equity bucket contributed strong returns in all but the second quarter as equity markets rallied. Developed equities were broadly up, many ended at their highs for the year, with U.S. equities doing particularly well. In the U.S., the resolution of the “fiscal cliff” and government shutdown combined with positive economic data and the Federal Reserve’s (“Fed”) postponing tapering until 2014 all buoyed equity markets. Europe also saw strong economic data after the first quarter, and Japan performed well despite some uncertainty in the second quarter regarding structural reforms. Emerging equity markets were slightly down over the year, and were particularly hurt in the second quarter, as concerns of the Fed tightening and uncertainty in Japan combined with concerns of a Chinese slowdown.

Tactically, we were overweight equities throughout the year (except for a brief neutral position in emerging-market equities at the end of the second quarter following poor performance). Trend following signals remained positive in line with bullish asset-class timing signals. On a relative value basis, we were generally overweight EuroStoxx based on strong valuation and were underweight Canadian equities, which looked expensive. Overall, tactical tilts in equities added to the Fund for the year.

The nominal bond bucket detracted from the Fund over the year, driven by losses in the second quarter. The fourth quarter also detracted while the first and third quarters saw modest gains. U.S. Treasuries led the large second quarter decline in nominal bonds as yields rose in conjunction with speculation that the Fed would begin tapering its asset purchase program by the end of the year. International bond markets generally followed the Treasury decline, with German bunds, U.K. gilts, and Japanese government bonds all realizing losses as well. The year ended with the global bond market selling off in the fourth quarter, hurt by strong economic data, especially in the U.K. and U.S.; Japan was the exception, outperforming much of the year as monetary policy remained accommodative.

Tactically, we were underweight nominal bonds throughout the year, as our asset-class timing signals continued to be negative due to the very low level of yields. On a relative-value basis, we were overweight U.S. Treasuries, driven by a steep yield curve and high real yields, and were underweight Japanese government bonds, due to a flatter yield curve and lower real bond yields. Overall, tactical tilts in nominal bonds added to the Fund for the year, driven by gains in the second quarter when nominal bonds were sharply down.

The inflation bucket detracted in 2013, with losses from both inflation-linked bonds and commodities. Inflation-linked bonds (“TIPS”) had significant losses concentrated in May and June. Losses in TIPS were most pronounced, as hawkish Fed sentiment led to a steep increase in real yields. Global inflation-linked-bond markets mirrored the U.S. decline, although to a lesser degree. U.S. TIPS were again the worst performers in the fourth quarter, driven by a combination of better economic data and the announcement of Fed tapering. U.K. TIPS rallied strongly at the start of the year after the government rejected a proposal that would have resulted in a lower official inflation rate.

We added tactical tilts to inflation-linked bonds in June, implementing a large underweight. We maintained this underweight through the end of the year based on poor price and fundamental momentum in conjunction with continued poor valuations. Commodities were down in all but the third quarter, with precious metals falling the most. Weak economic data from emerging-market countries along with concerns (and eventual announcement in December) of reduced monetary stimulus caused commodities to fall. More dovish perceptions of Fed policy in the third quarter, along with inventory and production issues in energies, led commodities to have positive returns in the third quarter. Tactically, we were underweight commodities much of the year, and ended with a slight underweight. Large underweights in precious metals contributed positively in the second and fourth quarters, but hurt in the third quarter when metals rallied. Overall, however, metals were down for the year.

Credit assets performed well in 2013, with the credit bucket contributing positively in all but the second quarter. Gains were driven by credit spreads, as Markit CDX investment-grade (IG) and high-yield (HY) index spreads ended the year at their tightest levels since the summer of 2007. Primary markets remained active with both IG and HY new issuance setting records. Emerging-market currencies offset some of the gains, underperforming developed-market currencies that rallied due to U.S. and European economic improvements, more hawkish Fed sentiment and the Fed’s ultimate decision to taper. Worsening growth prospects among emerging-market countries also hurt emerging-market currencies. Tactically, we moved from overweight positions to underweight positions in both HY credit and emerging currencies. The underweight emerging currencies position contributed positively, but was largely offset by losses from our HY underweight.

This was a challenging year for the Fund. While the Fund’s performance was within the normal range of expected performance, it significantly unperformed its benchmark – 60% S&P 500 Index/40% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index – partly because equity markets had a banner year, but also because returns to other asset classes were poor. In a year like this, a more risk-diversified and risk-managed portfolio trailed typical allocation portfolios that are concentrated in equity risk. However, we remain confident that the diversification benefits of a risk parity approach provide a sound allocation for the wide variety of potential market environments we may face in the coming years.

The Fund experienced losses in two of the three major asset class buckets for the full year for a net return of -1.32%. During 2013, equities contributed +8.35%, fixed income detracted -3.30%, and inflation-linked assets detracted -6.37%. Tactical tilts contributed positively in all asset classes.

Losses in TIPS were most pronounced, as hawkish Fed sentiment led to a steep increase in real yields. Global inflation-linked-bond markets mirrored the U.S. decline, although to a lesser degree. U.S. TIPS were again the worst performers in the fourth quarter, driven by a combination of better economic data and the announcement of Fed tapering. U.K. TIPS rallied strongly at the start of the year after the government rejected a proposal that would have resulted in a lower official inflation rate.

We added tactical tilts to inflation-linked bonds in June, implementing a large underweight. We maintained this underweight through the end of the year based on poor price and fundamental momentum in conjunction with continued poor valuations. Commodities were down in all but the third quarter, with precious metals falling the most. Weak economic data from emerging-market countries along with concerns (and eventual announcement in December) of reduced monetary stimulus caused commodities to fall. More dovish perceptions of Fed policy in the third quarter, along with inventory and production issues

in energies, led commodities to have positive returns in the third quarter. Tactically, we were underweight commodities much of the year, and ended with a slight underweight. Large underweights in precious metals contributed positively in the second and fourth quarters, but hurt in the third quarter when metals rallied. Overall, however, metals were down for the year.

This was a challenging year for the Fund. While the Fund’s performance was within the normal range of expected performance, it significantly unperformed its benchmark – 60% S&P 500 Index/40% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index – partly because equity markets had a banner year, but also because returns to other asset classes were poor. In a year like this, a more risk-diversified and risk-managed portfolio trailed typical allocation portfolios that are concentrated in equity risk. However, we remain confident that the diversification benefits of a risk parity approach provide a sound allocation for the wide variety of potential market environments we may face in the coming years.

Dear Shareholder:

Through the use of derivatives such as futures and swaps, the AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund invests across a wide variety of global markets – including developed- and emerging-market equities, fixed income, currencies and commodities – in an attempt to build a truly diversified portfolio where all asset classes matter, but no one asset class matters too much. Risk Parity investing involves allocating investments by risk, which means that instruments with less risk will generally be allocated more capital than instruments that are deemed more risky. As markets move through different risk regimes, the portfolio is dynamically adjusted with the goal of keeping overall portfolio risk and the balance of risk across asset classes fairly steady through time. We believe this leads to more consistent results, reduces tail risks associated with investments in the capital markets, and enables the investor to remain invested through more difficult market environments.

In addition to adjusting position sizes to control for increasing or decreasing risk expectations, we also overlay modest portfolio tilts based on AQR’s proprietary expected-return models, which include signals based on carry, momentum, valuation and other important economic variables. These views determine over- and underweights across a broad array of global markets. The ultimate goal is to build a portfolio that in the long run will deliver higher returns at a risk level similar to that of traditional portfolios by combining a better asset allocation with return-boosting tactical tilts.

The Fund is expected to remain long all of the markets in which we invest while averaging a moderate (under 0.7 on average) beta to the stock market over a full market cycle. The targeted annualized volatility for the Fund is 15%, on average, which varies modestly over time based on our perceptions of tactical opportunities within the different asset classes we trade. We started the year close to the 15% long term average and ended with a slightly lower target at the end due to more underweight tactical positions. However, the Fund targeted significantly less volatility in parts of the second and third quarters as the risk target was cut, and subsequently raised, in accordance with our drawdown control policy. Fund exposures dropped sharply in June as asset volatility rose and the Fund’s target risk was cut.

Total exposures ended the year somewhat lower than they began the year, due to decreases in developed-market bonds and inflation-linked bonds. However, commodities and developed-market equities actually ended the year with higher exposures than at the start of the year. With these moves, the Fund went from a 0.53 beta versus the S&P 500 Index at the end of 2012 to a 0.81 beta at the end of 2013.

From December 31, 2012, through December 31, 2013, the Fund’s Class I shares returned -2.83% and realized an annualized volatility of 13.65%. During this period, the Fund’s benchmark the Merrill Lynch 3-Month Treasury returned +0.07% and a 60/40 benchmark consisting of 60% S&P 500 Index/40% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned +17.57% at an average realized volatility of 6.49%. The Fund’s net assets across all share classes were over $25 million at the end of 2013.

AQR RISK PARITY II HV FUND   

 

The Fund experienced losses in two of the three major asset-class buckets for the full year. To the net total return of -2.83% for 2013, equities contributed +12.17%, fixed income detracted -5.52%, and inflation-linked assets detracted -9.48%. Tactical tilts contributed positively in all asset classes.

The equity bucket contributed strong returns in all but the second quarter as equity markets rallied. Developed-market equities were broadly up, many ended at their highs for the year, with U.S. equities doing particularly well. In the U.S., the resolution of the “fiscal cliff” and government shutdown combined with positive economic data and the Federal Reserve’s (“Fed”) postponing tapering until 2014 all buoyed equity markets. Europe also saw strong economic data after the first quarter, and Japan performed well despite some uncertainty in the second quarter regarding structural reforms. Emerging-market equities were slightly down over the year, and were particularly hurt in the second quarter, as concerns of the Fed tightening and uncertainty in Japan combined with concerns of a Chinese slowdown.

Tactically, we were overweight equities throughout the year (except for a brief neutral position in emerging-market equities at the end of the second quarter following poor performance). Trend-following signals remained positive, in line with bullish asset-class timing signals. On a relative-value basis, we were generally overweight EuroStoxx based on strong valuation and were underweight Canadian equities, which looked expensive. Overall, tactical tilts in equities added to the Fund for the year.

The nominal bond bucket detracted from the Fund over the year, driven by losses in the second quarter. The fourth quarter also detracted while the first and third quarters saw modest gains. U.S. Treasuries led the large second-quarter decline in nominal bonds as yields rose in conjunction with speculation that the Fed would begin tapering its asset purchase program by the end of the year. International bond markets generally followed the Treasury decline, with German bunds, U.K. gilts, and Japanese government bonds all realizing losses as well. The year ended with the global bond market selling off in the fourth quarter, hurt by strong economic data, especially in the U.K. and U.S.; Japan was the exception, outperforming much of the year as monetary policy remained accommodative.

Tactically, we were underweight nominal bonds throughout the year, as our asset-class timing signals continued to be negative due to the very low level of yields. On a relative-value basis, we were overweight U.S. Treasuries, driven by a steep yield curve and high real yields, and were underweight Japanese government bonds, due to a flatter yield curve and lower real bond yields. Overall, tactical tilts in nominal bonds added to the Fund for the year, driven by gains in the second quarter, when nominal bonds were sharply down.

The inflation bucket detracted in 2013, with losses from both inflation-linked bonds and commodities. Inflation-linked bonds (“TIPS”) had significant losses concentrated in May and June. Losses in TIPS were most pronounced, as hawkish Fed sentiment led to a steep increase in real yields. Global inflation-linked-bond markets mirrored the U.S. decline, although to a lesser degree. U.S. TIPS were again the worst performers in the fourth quarter, driven by a combination of better economic data and the announcement of Fed tapering. U.K. TIPS rallied strongly at the start of the year after the government rejected a proposal that would have resulted in a lower official inflation rate.

We added tactical tilts to inflation-linked bonds in June, implementing a large underweight. We maintained this underweight through the end of the year based on poor price and fundamental momentum in conjunction with continued poor valuations. Commodities were down in all but the third quarter, with precious metals falling the most.

Dear Shareholder:

The AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund attempts to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns by providing exposure to a broadly-diversified portfolio of classic, relative-value alternative strategies. We include strategies that are liquid and which can be built to be low-to-uncorrelated with traditional markets, something we believe should be a key feature of alternative strategies that are meant to be a source of diversifying returns. We believe in providing a great deal of transparency, which means providing insight into our investment process and the economic themes we seek to capture in addition to positions.

Our focus on providing a broadly-diversified portfolio starts with including nine major categories in our Fund. They are Long/Short Equity, Equity Market Neutral, Dedicated Short Bias, Emerging Markets, Convertible Arbitrage, Event Driven, Global Macro, Managed Futures and Fixed Income Relative Value. We believe that each of these categories offers good long term risk-adjusted returns, but they each go through good times and bad times. The key is that they usually go through ups and downs at different times, thus allowing us to benefit by diversifying across the nine and generating more consistent long-term performance. Underlying the nine major categories are approximately 60+ strategies that make up the economic themes and classic strategies within the Fund. Each strategy is built from the bottom up by internal, experienced teams at AQR.

Our portfolio construction approach is to be as diversified and balanced as possible, starting with equal risk weighting as a baseline and then making small tactical tilts around the strategic risk allocation when we think strategies are conditionally attractive or unattractive. Because we are trading in these markets daily and because all of the strategies are managed in one portfolio, we can stay disciplined about rebalancing to our strategic weights, stay nimble by taking advantage of tactical opportunities and also provide efficient exposure by netting positions and transactions costs.

We target 10% annual volatility in the Fund.

The Fund’s Class I shares returned +4.46% in 2013. For the year, the Fund realized 5.3% annualized daily volatility and a 0.27 correlation to equities. The Fund’s benchmark, the Merrill Lynch 3 Month Treasury Bill Index, had a slight positive return of 0.07%. The hedge fund industry, as measured by its major indices, also posted positive returns, with the Credit Suisse Hedge Fund Index (“CS Index”) gaining +9.8% and the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index (“HFRI Index”) gaining +9.2% net of fees for the year. These two indices have had monthly correlations to global equities, as represented by the MSCI World Index, of 0.8 and 0.9 in the past twenty-four months, respectively, and betas of 0.34 and 0.24, respectively. The effect of this relationship with equity markets is quite pronounced this year when comparing beta-adjusted1 figures for the CS Index (+3.4%) and the HFRI Index (+0.7%) with the non-adjusted figures cited above.

Perhaps market focus is never really about more than equity performance and the rate outlook, but that twin focus was certainly heightened in 2013. Global equity market appreciation, while not unprecedented, was certainly impressive. The MSCI World Index in local terms returned +28.9% in 2013. To put that performance in perspective, that index has achieved that return or higher only three times since 1970. Similarly, the +32.4% return for the S&P 500 Index in 2013 was only achieved three other times in the past 44 years. These indices appreciated +8.4% and +10.5% in the fourth quarter, respectively. Equity performance was driven by a combination of stronger than expected growth from the major economies and continued stimulative monetary policy from central banks. Emerging markets experienced more muted performance with the MSCI Emerging Markets (local) index up only +3.4%.

Much of the focus was on the U.S. Federal Reserve, which surprised markets in May when it signaled that it may begin tapering and then spent the rest of the year assuaging markets that the reduction in purchases would be gradual and that short-term interest rates would not increase for some time. The Fed did announce a cut in their bond purchases by $10 billion in December, taking effect in January, several months after markets initially anticipated. Ten-year U.S. Treasury yields, which began the year at 1.8%, jumped to over 2.5% in June, and gradually increased to 3.0% by the end of the year, including a 0.42% increase in the fourth quarter. Fed actions and statements decreased inflation expectations as seen by sharp declines in inflation-linked securities and precious metals. High yield bonds experienced a nearly -6% decline from mid-May to mid-June, as represented by the Barclays U.S. High Yield Index, but still managed to finish the year +7.4%.

Four of the Fund’s nine strategies had positive results for the year. Stock selection strategies were the largest source of profits. The Managed Futures, Emerging Markets and Arbitrage strategies individually produced modest losses and collectively had a -0.9% impact on the overall return.

Following is a more detailed review of the performance of the categories with notable contributions.

Equity Market Neutral (+4.7%): The strategy was the dominant source of gains for MSAF in 2013, which was quite a change from 2012 when it was the worst performing strategy. About 80% of the strategy’s gains were concentrated in the U.S. portfolio. Each of the other regional portfolios chipped in smaller gains, led by Europe. Profits were driven chiefly by value themes which represented more than 70% of the strategy’s gains, primarily derived from the U.S. portfolio. In the first quarter review letter we discussed the resurgence of value measures after more than two years of losses. That first quarter rebound turned out to be just the half of it, as the following three quarter’s gains, in aggregate, roughly equaled the first quarter gains. Accounting-oriented quality themes provided gains, and defensive themes suffered.

Long/Short Equity (+1.9%): The strategy produced gains in every quarter this year. The strategy has three sub-strategies: dynamic exposure variation, industry selection and growth-oriented stock-selection. Exposure variation, which is momentum-based, at the maximum is designed to contribute a relatively low level of equity-beta to the overall strategy. Even so, the resulting 0.09 beta was enough to produce significant profits of +2.0% this year due to the strength of equity markets. (Note, this market exposure and resulting gains were mostly offset by the net, short position in the Dedicated Short Bias strategy.) The industry- and stock-selection strategies had little additional impact as the U.K. portfolio produced gains of +0.4% that was offset by losses in the U.S. and Japanese portfolios. Gains were concentrated in accounting-oriented quality themes and industry selection.

Global Macro (+0.8%): In 2012, the strategy was one of just two strategies that experienced negative performance. In 2013 it was among the best performing strategies, driven by the Commodity Relative Value and Directional Developed Equity sub-strategies, which provided +0.5% of contribution each. The

AQR MULTI-STRATEGY ALTERNATIVE FUND   

 

Commodity Relative Value sub-strategy derived profits from each of the three themes traded. Short biased trading in precious metals produced gains of +0.8% as gold (-28.3%) and silver (-35.8%) prices dropped precipitously, largely due to falling inflation expectations. A long bias in soybean trading also added +0.4% during the second quarter when the commodity outperformed the cross-section by more than 20% on reports of a sharp decrease in inventories. The Directional Developed Equity sub-strategy earned +0.5% by being positioned long equity indices, with near equal contribution from both value and momentum themes. Developed Equity Relative Value lost -0.5% as poor performance from value themes outweighed gains from momentum themes. A short position in the S&P 500 (+32.4%), long in U.K.’s FTSE Index (+19.2%) and the Eurostoxx Index (+22.7%) contributed relative losses, but a long in the Japanese Topix Index (+54.4%) and a short in the underperforming Swiss Market Index (+23.0%) helped counter losses.

Event Driven (+0.5%): Merger Arbitrage posted reasonable returns in an environment of low spreads and a low rate of deal failures. The median annualized spread for the portfolio’s holdings averaged 4.7% and ranged from a low in July of 3.5% to a high of 5.9% at the beginning of the year. Only eight of the 162 deals the portfolio held over the period had offers withdrawn. This amounts to a mere 4.9% annual deal failure rate compared to the long-term average of 9% for the universe2. Of the eight adverse terminations held by the Fund, only five produced losses of more than ten basis points (Cooper Tire: -0.6%, Blackberry: -0.5%, GrainCorp: -0.2%, TNT Express: -0.1% and EBIX: -0.1%). The largest gains came from Men’s Wearhouse, Clearwire and Vodaphone/Verizon, each of which contributed between +0.2% and +0.3%.

Dedicated Short Bias (-1.8%): As discussed in the Long/Short Equity section, the Dedicated Short Bias strategy has a small, net short bias, representing about 20% of total strategy risk and equating to a beta of approximately -0.06 in 2013, which was still enough to produce a loss of -1.7%. The market-neutral stock selection portfolios, which represent the remaining 80% of the strategy risk, produced marginal losses as the U.S. and U.K. portfolios generated losses of -0.4% and -0.1%, respectively and the Japanese and European portfolios produced gains of +0.2% each. Investor sentiment themes produced significant profits that were concentrated in the U.K. and Japanese portfolios. These profits were largely offset by losses from management signaling, accounting-oriented quality, and high-risk stock themes.

Fixed Income Relative Value (-0.7%): Losses from the carry-oriented Relative Value Currency and the Relative Value Bond sub-strategies outweighed gains in the Interest Rate Relative Value and Directional Credit sub-strategies in 2013. The Currency sub-strategy produced losses of -0.9% as both predicted rate-based and current rate-based carry themes contributed to losses, the former more than the latter. Eight of the ten currencies traded within this strategy experienced relative losses. The most significant of these were shorts in the British pound (+1.9%) and Euro (+4.2%), both significantly outperforming the cross-sectional average of -2.7%. Long positions in the Japanese Yen (-17.6%), Norwegian Krone (-8.4%) and Australian Dollar (-14.2%) also produced relative losses as these higher carry (based on real-rate and short-term slope comparisons in addition to nominal rate comparisons) currencies significantly underperformed the average. Long positions in the New Zealand Dollar (-0.9%) and the Swiss Franc (+0.8%) both outperformed to produce small relative profits. The Interest Rate Relative Value sub-strategy earned +0.3% and generated gains through long Eurodollar and Euribor positions and short positions in the U.K.’s Short Sterling contracts. The Directional Credit sub-strategy earned +0.1% through long positioning in five-year high-yield index credit default swaps.

Tactical Positioning: As of December 31st, the Fund is tactically operating at 88% of its strategic volatility target. The current aggregate tactical position is less underweight than it had been at the end of the third quarter when it was 86%. As of year-end, there were two strategies that were tactically overweight, two were neutrally weighted and five were underweight.

The quarter-to-quarter increase was attributable to increases in Global Macro and Managed Futures. Global Macro, which is still quite underweight at 65% of strategic risk, saw an improvement in the alignment of value, momentum and carry themes, thus improving the strategy opportunity set. Similarly, Managed Futures saw improvement in the alignment between its shorter- and longer-term trend-following signals, bringing its tactical position to 104% of strategic.

Tactical positioning of Event Driven was raised from 60% to 80% of strategic target. The previous tactical underweight in the strategy came in response to extremely limited first quarter deal flow and low annualized deal spreads. Subsequent deal conditions have moderately improved. While the Convertible Arbitrage tactical positioning stands unchanged, there was a marked improvement in new issuance in the fourth quarter in the U.S., with nearly $20 billion of new issues adding to an already improved year for an issuance total of $49 billion, an amount that surpasses 2011 and 2012 combined. If this trend, which is likely related to a back-up in yields, continues, it will likely have an impact on valuation levels, improving the opportunity set in convertibles.

There was no tactical change within the stock-selection grouping as Long/Short Equity remains overweight at 115% of strategic risk, and both Equity Market Neutral and Dedicated Short Bias remain neutrally weighted at 100%.

Dear Shareholder:

The AQR Style Premia Alternative Fund attempts to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns by providing exposure to a broadly-diversified portfolio of classic, relative-value alternative strategies capturing the performance of four major styles across diverse asset groups including stocks, country equity indices, government bonds, interest rates, currencies and commodities. We include strategies that are liquid and which can be built to be low-to-uncorrelated with traditional markets, something we believe should be a key feature of alternative strategies that are meant to be a source of diversifying returns. We believe in providing a great deal of transparency, which means providing insight into our investment process and the economic themes we seek to capture in addition to positions.

The four major styles captured in the Fund are Value, Momentum, Carry and Defensive. Each of the four styles, implemented across asset groups, has an economic intuition or rationale, be it risk-based or behavioral-based. Value involves buying assets that are “cheap” relative to their fundamental value and selling “expensive” assets. Momentum entails buying assets that recently outperformed their peers and selling those that recently underperformed. Carry implies buying high-yielding assets and selling low-yielding assets. Defensive consists of buying low-risk, high-quality assets and selling high-risk, low-quality assets.

The Fund’s portfolio construction approach is to be diversified with a baseline risk weighting that is balanced across styles and asset groups, taking into consideration liquidity and breadth among other things. Small tactical tilts are implemented around the strategic risk allocation when strategies are conditionally attractive or unattractive. Because the Fund trades in these markets daily and all of the strategies are managed in one portfolio, the Fund can stay disciplined about rebalancing to strategic weights, stay nimble by taking advantage of tactical opportunities and also provide efficient exposure by netting positions and transactions costs.

The Fund targets 10% annual volatility.

The Fund’s Class I shares returned +4.08% in 2013. The Fund’s benchmark, the Merrill Lynch 3 Month Treasury Bill Index, had a slight positive return of 0.02% in 2013. Both returns reflect the Fund’s November 1, 2013 inception.

Two of the Fund’s four styles had positive results for the period. The Momentum style led performance with gains from currency, commodity, stock and equity index trading. The Value style also contributed with profits in every asset group except currencies. The Carry and Defensive styles experienced losses. Carry was unprofitable in currencies, government bonds and interest rates, and was flat in commodities. Defensive detracted in equity indices and stocks, but contributed modestly in bonds.

Performance was mostly positive across asset groups with government bonds being the only asset group that experienced modest losses, of -0.01%. Currency and commodity trading produced the best results contributing close to 40% each of the positive performance for the period. Currency trading benefited from strong performance of Momentum themes while Carry and Value themes detracted slightly. In commodities, all themes contributed, but it was again Momentum themes that dominated, accounting for more than 70% of the gains. Equity index trading was the next best contributor followed by trading in stocks and interest rates. Momentum and Value styles drove gains in equity indices and stocks with Defensive themes experiencing losses. In interest rates, Value themes contributed more than losses from Carry and Momentum.

Tactical Positioning: As of December 31, 2013, aggregate tactical risk allocation for the Fund was at 84% of the strategic 10% target. Aggregate tactical positioning is a function of individual strategies rather than a singular aggregate view, and as of quarter-end, five of the six asset groups traded were tactically underweight, although the commodities strategy was very close to a neutral weight at 98% of strategic risk. Interest rates and currencies are the assets that are most underweight, each below 50% of strategic risk. In each case the tactical attractiveness of asset groups is determined by alignment of views among the four styles traded. The stock strategy is tactically neutral relative to strategic risk weight and thus the only asset group not underweight.

RISK FACTORS:

AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund: As the Fund employs arbitrage and alternative strategies, the Fund has the risk that the anticipated opportunities do not play out as planned, resulting in potentially reduced returns or losses to the Fund as it unwinds its trades. This Fund enters into a short sale by selling a security it has borrowed. If the market price of a security increases after the Fund borrows the security, the Fund will suffer a potentially unlimited loss when it replaces the borrowed security at the higher price. The Fund may also take a short position in a derivative instrument, which involves the risk of theoretically unlimited increase in the value of the underlying instrument. Short sales also involve transaction and other costs that will reduce potential Fund gains and increase potential Fund losses. The use of derivatives, including forward and futures contracts and swaps exposes the Fund to additional risks including increased volatility, lack of liquidity, and possible losses greater than the Fund’s initial investment as well as increased transaction costs. Derivative contracts involve exposure to counterparty credit risks, which refers to the possibility that the counterparty to a derivative instrument will not be able to make principal and interest payments when due. The Fund may invest in illiquid instruments which may be difficult to sell in a timely manner at the price that it believes the investments are worth. Foreign investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuations, political uncertainty, differences in generally accepted accounting principles, increased volatility and lower trading volume. This Fund is not suitable for all investors.

AQR Long-Short Equity Fund: The use of derivatives, including futures and forward contracts, options and swaps exposes the Fund to additional risks including increased volatility, lack of liquidity, and possible losses greater than the Fund’s initial investment as well as increased transaction costs. Derivative contracts involve exposure to counterparty credit risks, which refers to the possibility that the counterparty to a derivative instrument will not be able to make principal and interest payments when due. This Fund enters into a short sale by selling a security it has borrowed. If the market price of a security increases after the Fund borrows the security, the Fund will suffer a potentially unlimited loss when it replaces the borrowed security at the higher price. The Fund may also take a short position in a derivative instrument, which involved the risk of theoretically unlimited increase in the value of the underlying instrument. Short sales also involve transaction and other costs that will reduce potential Fund gains and increase potential Fund losses. The Fund may have exposure to the securities of mid-cap companies, the prices of which are generally more volatile than those of larger capitalization companies. Foreign investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuations, political uncertainty, differences in generally accepted accounting principles, increased volatility and lower trading volume. This Fund is not suitable for all investors.

AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund and AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund: The use of derivatives, including forward and futures contracts, swap agreements, and exposure to the commodities markets exposes the Fund to additional risks including increased volatility, lack of liquidity, and possible losses greater than the Fund’s initial investment as well as increased transaction costs. Derivative contracts involve exposure to counterparty credit risk, which refers to the possibility that the counterparty to a derivative instrument will not be able to make principal and interest payments when due. The Fund may take a short position in a derivative instrument, which involves the risk of a theoretically unlimited increase in the value of the underlying instrument. When investing in bonds, yield and share price will vary with changes in interest rates and market conditions. The Fund may lose money if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply or otherwise change in a manner not anticipated by the Fund’s Advisor or Sub-Advisor. There is also a chance that some of the Fund’s holdings may have their credit rating downgraded or may default. Emerging market and foreign investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuations, political uncertainty, differences in generally accepted accounting principles, increased volatility and lower trading volume. These Funds are not suitable for all investors.

AQR Style Premia Alternative Fund. The use of derivatives, including futures and forward contracts, options and swaps exposes the Fund to additional risks including increased volatility, lack of liquidity, and possible losses greater than the Fund’s initial investment as well as increased transaction costs. Derivative contracts involve exposure to counterparty credit risks, which refers to the possibility that the counterparty to a derivative instrument will not be able to make principal and interest payments when due. This Fund enters into a short sale by selling a security it has borrowed. If the market price of a security increases after the Fund borrows the security, the Fund will suffer a potentially unlimited loss when it replaces the borrowed security at the higher price.

This Fund is not suitable for all investors.

An investment in any of the AQR Funds listed above (the “Funds”) involves risk, including loss of principal. Diversification does not eliminate this risk. The value of the Funds’ portfolio holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to the companies in which the Fund invests, as well as economic, political or social events in the United States or abroad.

The Funds (other than the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund and the AQR Long-Short Equity Fund) are each a non-diversified fund. Because these Funds may invest in securities of a smaller number of issuers, the Fund may be more exposed to the risks associated with and developments affecting an individual issuer than a fund that invests more widely, which may therefore have a greater impact on the Fund’s performance. The Funds (other than the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund and the AQR Long-Short Equity Fund) also invest in a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary and are indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the subsidiary’s investments. The Funds from time to time employ various hedging techniques, it is not possible to hedge fully or perfectly against any risk, and hedging entails its own costs.

An investor considering the Funds should be able to tolerate potentially wide price fluctuations. The Funds are subject to high portfolio turnover risk as a result of frequent trading, and thus will incur a higher level of brokerage fees and commissions and cause a higher level of tax liability to shareholders in the funds. The AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund and the AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund may attempt to increase their income or total return through the use of securities lending, and they may be subject to the possibility of additional loss as a result of this investment technique.

Please refer to each Fund’s prospectus for complete information regarding the principal risks associated with the Funds.

DEFINITIONS:

Alpha is a measure of performance on a risk-adjusted basis. Alpha takes the volatility (price risk) of a mutual fund and compares its risk-adjusted performance to a benchmark index. The excess return of the fund relative to the return of the benchmark index is a fund’s alpha.

Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based bond index comprised of government, corporate, mortgage and asset-backed issues, rated investment grade or higher, and having at least one year to maturity. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index.

Bearish: A belief that a particular security, sector or the overall market will fall.

Beta is a measure of volatility of a security or portfolio in comparison to an index or the market as a whole. A beta of 1.0 means the security or portfolio will generally move in tandem with the index or market it is being compared to. A beta greater than 1.0 means the security or portfolio will be more volatile and a beta less than 1.0 means the security or portfolio will be less volatile than the index or market it is being compared to.

Bullish: A belief that a particular security, sector or the overall market will rise.

Bund: Is the German equivalent of a U.S. Treasury Bond.

Correlation is computed into what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1. Perfect positive correlation (+1) implies that as one security moves, either up or down, the other security will move in lockstep, in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation (-1) means that if one security moves in either direction the security that is perfectly negatively correlated will move in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the movements of the securities are said to have no correlation; they are completely random.

Credit: This strategy purchases attractively priced securities on a hedged basis, typically around event induced capital flows.

Credit Suisse Hedge Fund Index is an asset-weighted benchmark that seeks to measure hedge fund performance and provide the most accurate representation of the hedge fund universe. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index.

FTSE Index is a market capitalization-weighted index of the 100 largest firms listed on the London Stock Exchange. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index.

Futures and Forwards contracts: A financial contract obligating the buyer to purchase an asset (or the seller to sell an asset) at a pre-determined future date and price.

Gilt: Is the U.K. equivalent of a U.S. Treasury Bond.

Tracking Error: A measure of how closely a portfolio follows the index to which it is benchmarked. It measures the standard deviation of the difference between the portfolio and index returns.

Volatility is a statistical measurement of up and down asset price fluctuations over time. If an asset has rapid dramatic price swings, its “volatility” will likely be relatively high. If prices are consistent and rarely change, “volatility” of that asset will likely be relatively low. “Volatility” can be measured as the standard deviation of an asset with a specific time horizon. It is often used to quantify the risk of such asset over a time period, typically expressed in annualized terms.

1. Organization

AQR Funds (the “Trust”), organized as a Delaware statutory trust on September 4, 2008, is an open-end management investment company, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As of December 31, 2013, the Trust consists of twenty-four active series, ten of which are presented in this book (collectively, the “Funds” and each individually a “Fund”): AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund, AQR Long-Short Equity Fund, AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund, AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund, AQR Risk-Balanced Commodities Strategy Fund, AQR Risk Parity Fund, AQR Risk Parity II MV Fund, AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund, AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund and AQR Style Premia Alternative Fund. The remaining fourteen active series are reported in a separate book at September 30, 2013. AQR Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) serves as the investment Advisor of each Fund. The Advisor has retained CNH Partners, LLC (the “Sub-Advisor”), an affiliate of the Advisor, to serve as an investment sub-advisor to the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund and certain strategies of the AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund.

The AQR Long-Short Equity Fund and the AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund commenced operations on July 16, 2013. The AQR Style Premia Alternative Fund commenced operations on October 30, 2013.

The investment objective of the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund, the AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund, the AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund, the AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund and the AQR Style Premia Alternative Fund is to seek positive absolute returns. The investment objective of the AQR Risk-Balanced Commodities Strategy Fund, the AQR Risk Parity Fund, the AQR Risk Parity II MV Fund and the AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund is to seek total return. The investment objective of the AQR Long-Short Equity Fund is to seek capital appreciation. Each of these funds offer Class I and Class N shares.

2. Consolidation of Subsidiaries

The consolidated Schedules of Investments, Statements of Assets and Liabilities, of Operations, of Changes in Net Assets, of Cash Flows and the Financial Highlights of the AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund, AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund, AQR Risk-Balanced Commodities Strategy Fund, AQR Risk Parity Fund, AQR Risk Parity II MV Fund, AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund, AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund and AQR Style Premia Alternative Fund (“CFC Funds”) include the accounts of AQR Managed Futures Strategy Offshore Fund Ltd., AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Offshore Fund Ltd., AQR Risk-Balanced Commodities Strategy Offshore Fund Ltd., AQR Risk Parity Offshore Fund Ltd., AQR Risk Parity II MV Offshore Fund Ltd., AQR Risk Parity II HV Offshore Fund Ltd., AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Offshore Fund Ltd., and AQR Style Premia Alternative Offshore Fund Ltd., respectively, wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”). All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation for the CFC Funds.

For Federal tax purposes, taxable income for each CFC Fund and its Subsidiary are calculated separately. The Subsidiaries are classified as controlled foreign corporations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“the Code”) and each Subsidiary’s taxable income is included in the calculation of the relevant CFC Fund’s taxable income. Net losses of the Subsidiaries are not deductible by the CFC Funds either in the current period or future periods. Each of the Subsidiaries has a fiscal year end of December 31st for financial statement consolidation purposes and a nonconforming tax year end of November 30th.

The CFC Funds may each invest up to 25% of their total assets in its respective Subsidiary, each of which acts as an investment vehicle in order to effect certain investments consistent with the CFC Funds’ investment objectives and policies. The CFC Funds expect that they will achieve a significant portion of their exposure to commodities and commodities-related investments through investment in the Subsidiaries. Unlike the CFC Funds, the Subsidiaries may invest without limitation in commodities and commodities-related investments.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the Advisor to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

Valuation of Investments: Each Fund’s portfolio securities are valued as of the close of business of the regular session of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Funds’ Board of Trustees has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Advisor. Equity securities, including securities sold short, rights and warrants, are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades. The value of securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) are generally the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, the Funds apply fair value factors to international securities traded outside of the Western Hemisphere on a daily basis utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless the Advisor determines that use of another valuation methodology is appropriate. The pricing service uses statistical analysis and quantitative models to adjust local market prices using factors such as subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, securities and exchange rates in other markets in determining fair value as of the time the Funds calculate their net asset value. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market, and which are not quoted by NASDAQ, are valued at the last sale price, if available, otherwise at the last quoted bid price (in the case of short sales, at the ask price). Bonds are valued using the latest bid prices or evaluated quotes furnished by independent pricing services. Evaluated quotes are based on a matrix system, which may consider such factors as quoted prices, yields, maturities and ratings and are not necessarily reliant on quoted prices. The Funds value debt securities maturing less than 61 days from the date of purchase at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of futures contracts purchased and sold by the Funds is accounted for using the unrealized gain or loss on the contracts that is determined by marking the contracts to their current settlement prices. Option contracts are valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. In the event that the exchange for a specific futures contract closes earlier than 4:00 p.m., the futures contract is valued at the Official Settlement Price of the exchange. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at such investment company’s current day closing net asset value per share. Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”) and closed-end investment companies are valued at the last quoted sales price. Total return swap contracts are valued at fair value, based on the price of the underlying referenced instrument.

Notes to Financial Statements     December 31, 2013   

 

The Funds may use pricing services to obtain readily available market quotations. Where market quotations are not readily available, or if an available market quotation is determined not to reflect fair value, a security will be valued based on its fair value as determined in accordance with the valuation procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees, which may include the use of proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining value and/or market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, credit spreads, estimated default rates, underlying collateral, and other unique security features. The Funds may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Using fair value to price securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their net assets. It is possible the estimated values may differ significantly from the values which would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. These differences could be material.

Loan Participations and Assignments: Certain Funds invest in loan participations and assignments. When the Fund purchases a loan participation, the Fund typically enters into a contractual relationship with the lender or a third party selling such participations (“Selling Participant”), but not the borrower. In this case, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the borrower and the Selling Participant and any other persons inter-positioned between the Fund and the borrower (“Intermediate Participants”). In contrast, when the Fund purchases an assignment, the contractual relationship is with the borrower and the credit risk assumed by the Fund is only with the borrower. Although certain loan participations or assignments are secured by collateral, the Fund could experience delays or limitations in realizing on such collateral or have its interest subordinated to other indebtedness of the obligor. The Fund may also enter into unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. These unfunded commitments represent a future obligation in full, even though a percentage of the loan may not be utilized by the borrower. These types of investments may include standby financing commitments, such as revolving credit facilities, which obligate the Fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. The value of the unfunded portion of the investment is determined using a pro-rata allocation, based on its par value relative to the par value of the entire investment. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from unfunded commitments is reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, loan participations and assignments are vulnerable to market conditions such that economic conditions or other events may reduce the demand for loan participations and assignments and certain loan participations and assignments which were liquid, when purchased, may become illiquid.

Convertible Securities: Certain Funds invest in preferred stocks and fixed-income securities which are convertible into common stock. Convertible securities may be converted either at a stated price or rate within a specified period of time into a specified number of shares of common stock. By investing in a convertible security, the Funds may participate in any capital appreciation or depreciation of a company’s stock, but to a lesser degree than if it had invested in that company’s common stock. Convertible securities rank senior to common stock in a corporation’s capital structure and, therefore, entail less risk than the corporation’s common stock. The Funds may attempt to hedge some of their investments in convertible debt securities by selling short the issuer’s common stock.

Short Sales: Certain Funds sell securities it does not own as a hedge against some of its long positions and/or in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security (short sale). When the Fund makes a short sale, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. The Fund may have to pay a fee to borrow the particular security and may be obligated to remit any interest or dividends received on such borrowed securities. Dividends declared on short positions open are recorded on the ex-date as an expense. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in magnitude, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale if the market price at termination is less than or greater than, respectively, the proceeds originally received. The Fund is also subject to the risk that they may be unable to reacquire a security to terminate a short position except at a price substantially in excess of the last quoted price. The Fund is also subject to risk of loss if the broker were to fail to perform its obligations under the contractual terms. Liabilities for securities sold short are reported at market value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the change in market value is recorded as unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations.

The Funds are required to pledge cash or securities to the broker as collateral for the securities sold short. Collateral requirements are calculated daily based on the current market value of the short positions. Cash deposited with broker

for collateral for securities sold short is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and securities segregated as collateral are denoted in the Schedules of Investments. The Funds may receive or pay the net of the following amounts: (i) a portion of the income from the investment of cash collateral; (ii) the broker’s fee on the borrowed securities; and (iii) a financing charge for the difference in the market value of the short position and cash collateral deposited with the broker. This income or fee is calculated daily based upon the market value of each borrowed security and a variable rate that is dependent on the availability of the security.

The net amount of fees incurred are included in dividend and interest on securities sold short in the Statements of Operations are as follows:

Master Agreements: Certain Funds are a party to ISDA (International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc.) Master Agreements (“Master Agreements”) with certain counterparties that govern over-the-counter derivative (including Total Return, Credit Default and Interest Rate Swaps) and foreign exchange contracts entered into by the Funds. The Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. Termination events applicable to the Fund may occur upon a decline in the Fund’s net assets below a specified threshold over a certain period of time. Termination events applicable to counterparties may occur upon a decline in the counterparty’s long-term and short-term credit ratings below a specified level. In each case, upon occurrence, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all derivative and foreign exchange contracts outstanding, including the payment of any losses and costs resulting from such early termination, as reasonably determined by the terminating party. Any decision by one or more of the Fund’s counterparties to elect early termination could impact a Fund’s future derivative activity. Collateral and margin requirements differ between exchange traded derivatives and over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives. Margin requirements are established by the broker or clearing house for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives (futures contracts, options and centrally cleared swaps) pursuant to the governing agreements for those investment types. For OTC derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, posting of collateral is required by either the fund or the applicable counterparty if the total net exposure of all OTC derivatives with the applicable counterparty exceeds the minimum transfer amount and can vary depending on the counterparty and the type of the agreement. For swaps, futures and forward foreign currency exchange contracts, the Funds may be required to post collateral if a Fund is in a net liability position with the counterparty exceeding certain amounts. Generally, collateral is determined at the close of fund business each day. Collateral posted for the benefit of a Fund is held in a segregated account by a custodian of the Fund’s custodian and with respect to those amounts which can be sold or repledged, are presented in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Collateral pledged by the Fund is segregated by the Fund’s custodian and identified in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Collateral can be in the form of cash, debt securities issued by the U.S. Government and related agencies, other securities or money market funds as agreed to by the Fund and the applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are generally determined based on the Fund’s net position with each counterparty. The Funds’ derivative assets and liabilities on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are presented net only within a derivative type when a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists between the Funds and a derivative counterparty.

Futures Contracts: Certain Funds invest in futures contracts as part of their primary investment strategy. Investments in futures may increase or decrease exposure to a particular market. In the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of a futures commission merchant that holds margin on behalf of the Funds, the Funds may not be entitled to the return of all of the margin owed to the Funds, potentially resulting in a loss. No monies are paid to or received by a Fund upon the purchase or sale of a futures contract. Initially, a Fund will be required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents, known as initial margin, based on the value of the contract. Subsequent payments to and from the broker, will be made on a periodic basis as the price of the underlying instruments fluctuates. Changes in market value of open futures contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses represent the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed or expired, and are reported on the Statements of Operations. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited is presented as Due from Broker on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The use of long futures contracts subjects the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the amounts

Notes to Financial Statements     December 31, 2013   

 

shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the contract amount of the futures contracts. The use of short futures contracts subjects the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. Futures contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: Certain Funds buy and sell forward foreign currency exchange contracts, which are agreements between two parties to buy and sell currencies at a set price on a future date. These contracts are used to protect against a decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar of the currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated or quoted (or an increase in the value of a currency in which securities a Fund intends to buy are denominated, when a Fund holds cash reserves and short term investments), or for other investment purposes. The U.S. dollar value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts is determined using current forward currency exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked to market daily and the change in market value is recorded as an unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Funds could be exposed to risk if the value of the currency changes unfavorably, if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the Fund is unable to enter into a closing position. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in U.S. dollar without the delivery of foreign currency. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Swap Contracts: Certain Funds engage in various swap transactions to manage risks within their portfolios or as alternatives to direct investments. Swap transactions are privately negotiated in the OTC market and payments are settled through direct payments between a Fund and the counterparty. By contrast, certain swap transactions are subject to mandatory central clearing (“centrally cleared swaps”). These swaps are executed through a derivatives clearing member (“DCM”), acting in an agency capacity, and submitted to a central counterparty (“CCP”), in which case all payments are settled with the CCP through the DCM. For credit default and interest rate contracts, an up-front payment received by a Fund is recorded as a liability on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. An up-front payment made by a Fund is recorded as an asset on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Up-front payments are amortized over the term of the contract. Periodic payments received or paid by a Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses.

Total Return Swap Contracts: Certain Funds invest in total return swaps to obtain exposure to the underlying referenced instrument, obtain leverage or attain the returns from ownership without actually owning the underlying position. Total return swaps are two-party contracts that generally obligate one party to pay the positive return and the other party to pay the negative return on a specified reference security, security index or index component during the period of the swap. Total return swap contracts are marked to market daily based on the value of the underlying reference entity and the change, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Total return swaps normally do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets. If the other party to a total return swap defaults, a Fund’s risk of loss consists of the net amount of payments that such Fund is contractually entitled to receive, if any. Total return swaps are derivatives and their value can be volatile. To the extent that the Advisor or Sub-Advisor, as applicable, does not accurately analyze and predict future market trends, the values of assets or economic factors, a Fund may suffer a loss, which may exceed the related amounts shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Periodic payments received or paid by the Funds are recorded as realized gains or losses. Total return swap contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Total Return Basket Swaps: Certain Funds may enter into an equity basket swap agreement to obtain exposure to a portfolio of long and short securities. Under the terms of the agreement, the swap is designed to function as a portfolio of direct investments in long and short equity or fixed income positions. This means that the Fund has the ability to trade in and out of long and short positions within the swap and will receive all of the economic benefits and risks equivalent to direct investments in these positions such as: capital appreciation (depreciation), corporate actions, and dividends and interest received and paid, all of which are reflected in the swap value. The swap value also includes interest charges and credits related to the notional values of the long and short positions and cash balances within the swap. These interest charges and credits are based on defined market rates plus or minus a specified spread and are referred to herein as “financing costs”. Positions within the swap are reset periodically, and financing costs are reset monthly.

 

240   AQR Funds       Annual Report       December 2013   
                


Notes to Financial Statements     December 31, 2013   

 

During a reset, any unrealized gains (losses) on positions and accrued financing costs become available for cash settlement between the Fund and the swap counterparty. Cash settlement in and out of the swap may occur at a reset date or any other date, at the discretion of the Fund and the counterparty, over the life of the agreement, and is generally determined based on limits and thresholds established as part of the Master Agreement between the Fund and the counterparty.

The value of the swap is derived from a combination of (i) the net value of the underlying positions, which are valued daily using the last sale or closing prices on the principal exchange on which the securities are traded; (ii) financing costs; (iii) the value of dividends or accrued interest; (iv) cash balances within the swap; and (v) other factors, as applicable. The value of the swap is reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as swaps, at value. Changes in the swap are recognized as changes in unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. Cash settlements between the Fund and the counterparty are recognized as realized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. Total return basket swap contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

The swap involves additional risks than if the Fund has invested in the underlying positions directly, including: the risk that changes in the swap may not correlate perfectly with the underlying long and short securities; credit risk related to the counterparty’s failure to perform under contract terms; and liquidity risk related to the lack of a liquid market for the swap contract, which may limit the ability of the Fund to close out its position(s).

Credit Default Swap Contracts: Certain Funds enter into credit default swap contracts to provide a measure of protection against risk of loss following a default, or other credit event in respect of issuers within an underlying index or a single issuer, or to gain credit exposure to an underlying index or issuer. In a credit default contract, the protection buyer typically makes an up-front payment and a periodic stream of payments to a counterparty, the protection seller, in exchange for the right to receive a contingent payment upon the occurrence of a credit event on the reference obligation or all other equally ranked obligations of the reference entity. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring and obligation acceleration. The credit default contracts are marked to market daily based upon quotations from an independent pricing service or market makers and the change, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Funds are required to deposit with the Futures Commission Merchant (“FCM”) cash or securities, which is referred to as the initial margin deposit. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedule of Investments and cash deposited is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund, depending on fluctuations in the value of the underlying referenced debt obligation. Such variation margin is accounted for as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed, at which time the gains or losses are realized. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the difference between the par value and market value of the reference obligation, net of any proportional amount of the up-front payment, is recorded as a realized gain or loss.

In addition to bearing the risk that the credit event will occur, a Fund could be exposed to market risk due to unfavorable changes in interest rates or in the price of the underlying security or index or the possibility that the Fund may be unable to close out its position at the same time or at the same price as if it had purchased the underlying reference obligations. In certain circumstances, a Fund may enter into offsetting credit default contracts which would mitigate its risk of loss. Risks of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the fair value of the contract. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty. The central clearing house acts as the counterparty to each centrally cleared swap transaction, therefore credit risk is limited to the failure of the clearing house. Where a Fund is a seller of protection, the maximum potential amount of future payments the Fund may be required to make is equal to the notional amount of the relevant credit default contract. The Fund’s risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value, as recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Credit default contracts outstanding, including their respective notional amounts at period end, if any, are listed after the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Implied credit spreads are an indication of the seller’s performance risk, related to the likelihood of a credit event occurring that would require a seller to make payment to a buyer. Implied credit spreads are used to determine the value of swap contracts and reflect the cost of buying/selling protection, which may include up-front payments made to enter into the contract. Therefore, higher spreads would indicate a greater likelihood that a seller will be obligated to perform

 

  AQR Funds       Annual Report       December 2013    241
                


Notes to Financial Statements     December 31, 2013   

 

(i.e., make payment) under the swap contract. Increasing values, in absolute terms and relative to notional amounts, are also indicative of greater performance risk. Implied credit spreads for credit default swaps on credit indexes are linked to the weighted average spread across the underlying reference obligations included in a particular index.

Interest Rate Swaps: Certain Funds enter into interest rate swaps as part of its investment strategy. Interest rate swaps generally involve agreements to exchange fixed and floating payment obligations, without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. Interest rate swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market or may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange (centrally cleared swaps). Interest rate swaps are marked to market daily based on quotations as provided by an independent pricing service and the change is recorded as unrealized gain or loss. The Fund’s risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value, as recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest rate contracts outstanding, including their respective notional amounts at period end, if any, are listed after the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Non-deliverable interest rate swaps are settled with the counterparty in U.S. dollars without the delivery of foreign currency.

High Yield Securities: Certain Funds invest in lower-quality debt securities. Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities causing greater price volatility. These instruments involve a greater risk of loss due to default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors’ claims.

Repurchase Agreements: Certain Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. In a repurchase agreement, a Fund takes possession of an underlying debt obligation (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and a Fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. Under the terms of a master repurchase agreement, the underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Fund’s custodian or designated sub-custodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. Master repurchase agreements govern transactions between a Fund and select counterparties. The master repurchase agreements maintain provisions for, among other things, initiation, income payments, events of default, maintenance of collateral for repurchase agreements and the disposition of such collateral following an event of default. The market value of the collateral must be equal to or exceed the total amount of the repurchase obligations, including interest. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest earned is recorded as a component of interest income on the Statements of Operations. In periods of increased demand for collateral, a Fund may pay a fee for receipt of collateral, which may result in interest expense to the Fund. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, a Fund has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, a Fund may seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements: Certain Funds may enter into, under the terms of the Master Repurchase Agreement, reverse repurchase agreements. The Fund sells to a counterparty a security that it holds with a contemporaneous agreement to repurchase the same security at an agreed-upon price and date. Reverse repurchase agreements are valued based on the amount of cash received plus accrued interest, which represents fair value.

Reverse repurchase agreements are reflected as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest payments made are recorded as a component of interest expense on the Statements of Operations. In periods of increased demand for the security, the Fund may receive a fee for use of the security by the counterparty, which may result in interest income to the Fund. The Fund monitors collateral market value for the reverse repurchase agreement, including accrued interest, throughout the lives of the agreements, and when necessary, delivers or receives cash or securities in order to manage credit exposure and liquidity. If the counterparty defaults or enters insolvency proceeding, realization or return of the collateral to the Fund may be delayed or limited.

Options: Certain Funds may write and purchase put and call options from time to time. When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current market value of the option written. When a security is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the security acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the security sold. When an option expires, the Fund realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid. When a

Fund enters into a closing transaction, the Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premiums paid or received. Written uncovered call options subject the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. Written covered call options limit the upside potential of a security above the strike price. Put options written subject the Funds to risk of loss if the value of the security declines below the exercise price minus the put premium. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Written and purchased options are non-income producing investments.

Transactions in call and put options written during the year ended December 31, 2013 for AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund and the AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund were as follows:

Securities Lending: The AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund and the AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund may lend securities to brokers approved by the Advisor in order to generate additional income. Securities loaned are collateralized by cash, which is invested in various J.P. Morgan Money Market Funds. Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower the posted cash collateral. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time. Securities lending income is comprised of income earned on cash collateral investments, net of a rebate received from or paid to borrowers for use of cash collateral and lending agent fees. This amount is recorded as Securities lending income, net on the Statements of Operations. The Funds also receive payments from the borrower during the period of the loan, equivalent to dividends and interest earned on the securities loaned, which are recorded as Dividend or Interest income, respectively, on the Statements of Operations.

The Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the collateral investments and are not entitled to additional collateral from the borrower to cover any such losses. To the extent that the value of the collateral investments declines below the amount owed to a borrower, a Fund may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. Upon termination of a loan, a Fund may use leverage (borrow money) to repay the borrower for cash collateral posted if the Advisor does not believe that it is prudent to sell the collateral investments to fund the payment of this liability.

Securities lending also involves counterparty risks, including the risk that the loaned securities may not be returned in a timely manner or at all.

In the event of a default by a borrower with respect to any loan, the lending agent will exercise any and all remedies provided under the applicable borrower agreement to make the Funds whole. These remedies include purchasing replacement securities by applying the collateral held from the defaulting broker against the purchase cost of the

 

  AQR Funds       Annual Report       December 2013    243
                


Notes to Financial Statements     December 31, 2013   

 

replacement securities. If, despite such efforts by the lending agent to exercise these remedies, the Funds sustain losses as a result of a borrower’s default, the Securities Lending Agent indemnifies the Funds by purchasing replacement securities at its expense, or paying the Funds an amount equal to the market value of the replacement securities, subject to certain limitations which are set forth in detail in the Securities Lending Agency Agreement between the Funds and the lending agent.

At December 31, 2013, neither of the Funds had any securities out on loan.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Securities gains and losses are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using the effective yield method. Dividend income/expense is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the ex-date dividend notification.

Allocation of Income and Expenses: In calculating the net asset value per share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day. Each Fund is charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to each Fund, such as advisory fees and registration costs. Trust level expenses are allocated among the Funds based on the ratio of average net assets or other reasonable methodology.

The Funds record distributions received in excess of income from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates (if actual amounts are not available) and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Funds adjust the estimated amounts of components of distributions (and consequently net investment income) as necessary once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.

The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, capital gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest.

Organization and Offering Costs: Organizational costs incurred by the relevant funds, including professional and incorporation fees, are fully expensed by the end of the fiscal period. Offering costs, including professional fees, printing fees and the offering of the initial registration, are amortized over a period not longer than twelve months from the date the Funds commenced operations.

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and the other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets of the Funds are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the period. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions.

Reported realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency and forward foreign currency exchange contracts, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on each Fund’s books on the transaction date and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and assets and liabilities (other than investments) denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end.

Notes to Financial Statements     December 31, 2013   

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include U.S. dollar and foreign currency deposited at bank accounts at amounts which may exceed insured limits. The Funds are subject to risk to the extent that the institutions may be unable to fulfill their obligations.

Due to/from Broker: Due to/from Broker represents cash balances on deposit with the Funds’ prime brokers and counterparties. The Funds are subject to credit risk should the prime brokers and counterparties be unable to meet their obligations to the Funds.

Federal Income Taxes: Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If so qualified, each Fund will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders.

The Advisor evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds are required to analyze all open tax years. Open tax years are those years that are open for examination by the relevant income taxing authority. The returns of the Funds for the prior three fiscal years, or since inception if shorter, are open for examination. As of December 31, 2013, the Funds had no examinations in progress.

The Funds have concluded that there is no tax liability/benefit resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax expense will significantly change in twelve months.

Distributions to Shareholders: The Funds intend to declare and distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions will be determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.

Indemnification: In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into various agreements that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as any potential exposure involves future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to the tax treatment of swap contracts, distribution reclassifications, foreign currency reclassifications, sale of Real Estate Investment Trusts, PFICs, paydowns and the tax treatment of income and gain or loss from the subsidiary. The result of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Post-enactment capital loss carryforwards retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered short-term as under previous law. Any post-enactment capital losses generated will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment tax years.

5. Fair Value Measurements

The Funds utilize various inputs in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. GAAP establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs be used when available. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels as follows:

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, pre-payment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Valuation methodology and inputs

An investment asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement. The objective of fair value measurement remains the same even

 

  AQR Funds       Annual Report       December 2013    247
                


Notes to Financial Statements     December 31, 2013   

 

when there is a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique used. The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following inputs and techniques may be used by the Funds to evaluate how to classify each major category of assets and liabilities for Level 2 and Level 3, in accordance with GAAP.

Equities traded outside North America are fair valued daily based on the application of a fair value factor, and therefore are considered Level 2 (Note 2). Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are also classified within Level 2. These include certain U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, money market funds and less liquid listed equities. Corporate and sovereign bonds and other fixed-income instruments are valued at estimated fair value based on quotations (including evaluated quotes) from an independent pricing service, as well as quotations from counterparties and other market participants. Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently or not at all. Level 3 instruments include illiquid securities. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the Funds use one or more valuation techniques (e.g., the market approach, the income approach, or the cost approach) for which sufficient and reliable data is available. Within Level 3, the use of the market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions, while the use of the income approach generally consists of the net present value of estimated future cash flows, adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors. The inputs used by the Funds in estimating the value of Level 3 investments include the original transaction price, recent transactions in the same or similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity or debt capital markets, and changes in financial ratios or cash flows. Level 3 investments may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the Advisor in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the Funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the resulting fair value and therefore the Funds’ results of operations.

The Funds invest in derivative instruments. Derivative instruments can be exchange traded or privately negotiated over-the-counter (“OTC”). Exchange-traded derivatives, such as futures contracts and exchange traded option contracts, are typically classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on whether or not they are deemed to be actively traded. Futures and option contracts that are listed on national exchanges and are freely transferable are valued at fair value based on their last sales price on the date of determination on the exchange that constitutes the principal market. OTC derivatives, including futures, forwards, and swaps, are valued by the Funds using observable inputs, such as quotations received from the counterparty, or dealers and brokers, whenever available and considered reliable. Generally, a valuation model is used consistently for similar derivative types and model inputs, including, but not limited to, market prices, yield curves, credit spreads, volatilities and implied correlations which are obtained from outside brokers and/or pricing services when available. In instances where models are used, the value of an OTC derivative depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument as well as the availability and reliability of observable inputs. Such inputs include market prices for reference securities, yield curves, credit curves, measures of volatility, prepayment rates and correlations of such inputs. Certain OTC derivatives, such as generic forwards, swaps and options, have inputs which can generally be corroborated by market data and are therefore classified within Level 2.

Credit default swaps are carried at their estimated fair value, as determined in good faith by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. In addition to credit quality, the Funds monitor a variety of factors including cash flow assumptions, market activity, market sentiment and valuation as part of their ongoing process of assessing payment and performance risk. As payment and performance risk increases, the value of a credit default swap contract increases, resulting in recognition of unrealized gains for long positions and unrealized losses for short positions. Conversely, as payment and performance risk decreases, unrealized gains are recognized for short positions and unrealized losses are recognized for long positions. The change in value is recorded within unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) until the occurrence of a credit event or the termination of the swap, at which time a realized gain/(loss) is recorded. Those OTC derivatives that have less liquidity or for which inputs are unobservable are classified within Level 3. While the valuations of these less liquid OTC derivatives may utilize some Level 1 and/or Level 2 inputs, they also include other unobservable

Notes to Financial Statements     December 31, 2013   

 

inputs which are considered significant to the fair value determination. At each measurement date, the Funds update the Level 1 and Level 2 inputs to reflect observable inputs, though the resulting gains and losses are reflected within Level 3 due to the significance of the unobservable inputs.

Securities, for which market quotations or independent pricing service quotations are not readily available, are not readily marketable, or model priced and all other assets of the Funds are valued at fair value using valuation procedures for the Funds, which have been approved by the Board of Trustees. The Advisor has established a Valuation Committee (the “VC”) which is responsible for overseeing the pricing and valuation of all securities held in the Funds. The VC operates under the valuation procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. The VC meets quarterly and on an as-needed basis. The VC is responsible for valuing any securities or other assets for which prices or valuations are not readily determinable by the Funds’ pricing services. The VC considers time-sensitive valuation issues, including those relating to market closures, changes in illiquid security values, model prices and other events that may have a potentially material impact on security values. On a quarterly basis the VC meets to review the results of back test reports generated by the Advisor’s internal risk department. The VC prepares for the Funds’ Board of Trustees an analysis relating to Level 3 positions. On a daily basis, the Trust’s fund accounting agent compares trade execution prices to the prior night’s valuation price for all positions which were traded and held the previous day. On a monthly basis, third party model prices are reviewed against internal model prices.

Quantitative Information

These tables include a description of unobservable and quantitative inputs and the interrelationship of such inputs, as used in determining the value of Level 3 financial instruments, except for Level 3 instruments for which prior transaction or third party pricing information was used without adjustment.

Transfers

Transfers into, and out of, Level 3 are valued utilizing values as of the beginning of the period. Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 or from Level 3 to Level 2 are due to a decline or an increase in market activity (e.g. frequency of trades), which resulted in a lack of or increase in available market inputs to determine price.

  * The table above does not include Level 3 securities that are valued by pricing vendors or brokers. At December 31, 2013, the value of these securities was $143,061,547. The inputs for these securities are not readily available or cannot be reasonably estimated and are generally those inputs described in Note 5. The appropriateness of fair values for these securities is monitored on an ongoing basis which may include results of back testing, results of pricing vendor and/or broker due diligence, unchanged price review and consideration of macro or security specific events.
  ** Represents amounts used when the reporting entity has determined that market participants would take into account discounts, as applicable, when pricing the investments.

Notes to Financial Statements     December 31, 2013   

 

Level 3 values are based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Advisor’s determination of assumptions that market participants might reasonably use in valuing the securities. Changes in significant unobservable inputs could cause significant changes in valuation to individual securities and in aggregate. Fair value determinations and valuation of investments that are not actively trading involve judgment and may differ materially from valuations that would have been used had greater market activity occurred.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s investments in common stocks, corporate bonds, convertible bonds, convertible preferred stocks and warrants potentially include credit spread, liquidity discount and volatility. Significant increases in the credit spread or liquidity discount inputs in isolation would potentially result in a significantly lower fair value measurement, whereas an increase in volatility generally results in a higher fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the credit spread would be accompanied by a directionally-similar change in the assumptions used for the volatility and liquidity discount. Investments in common stocks potentially include liquidity discount, theoretical value, book to value analysis and/or broker quotes. Significant changes in any of these inputs would significantly change the fair value measurement of the position.

The following is a reconciliation of assets and liabilities in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“netting”) on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements. ASU 2011-11, was amended by ASU No. 2013-01, clarifying which investments and transactions are subject to the netting disclosure. The scope of the disclosure requirements is limited to derivative instruments, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions to the extent they are subject to an enforceable master

netting arrangement or similar agreement. This information will enable users of the Funds’ financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on the Funds’ financial position. The ASU is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Funds adopted the disclosure requirement on netting for the current reporting period.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset financial assets and financial liabilities across derivative types that are subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The following tables present, by counterparty and contract type, the Funds’ derivative asset and liabilities as of December 31, 2013.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Funds recouped amounts as follow:

 

FUND    CLASS I      CLASS N  

AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund

   $ 141,503       $ 45,569   

AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund

     372,808           

AQR Risk Parity Fund

     14,138         4,133   

Pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreements between the Sub-Advisor, the Advisor and the Trust, the Advisor will pay the Sub-Advisor an annual fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% and 0.35% of the average daily nets assets for the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund and AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund, respectively.

J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., serves as the Funds’ Administrator, Accounting Agent and Custodian.

State Street Bank and Trust Company, together with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., serve as Custodian of the AQR Style Premia Alternative Fund.

ALPS Fund Services, Inc. serves as the Funds’ Transfer Agent, and ALPS Distributors, Inc. serves as the Funds’ Distributor.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Advisor contributed $90,124 into the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund for a loss incurred due to a trade processing error. The impact of the Advisor’s contribution on the Fund’s total return was immaterial. This amount has been included in realized gain (loss) on investments on the Statement of Operations.

9. Distribution Plan

The Trust has adopted a Plan of Distribution (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Class N shares of the Funds, as applicable. The Plan allows for the payment of services related to the distribution and servicing of these shares at a rate of up to 0.25% per annum of the average daily net asset value of the Class N shares of the Funds, as applicable.

10. Shareholder Servicing Arrangements

Pursuant to a Shareholder Services Agreement, between the Trust (excluding the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund, AQR Long-Short Equity Fund, AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund, AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund, AQR Risk Parity Fund, AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund and AQR Style Premia Alternative Fund) and the Advisor, the Advisor provides a wide range of services to the Funds and their shareholders. These services include, among others, access to performance information reporting, analysis and explanations of Fund reports as well as assisting in the preparation and

 

280   AQR Funds       Annual Report       December 2013   
                


Notes to Financial Statements     December 31, 2013   

 

distribution of shareholder communications, such as proxies, shareholder reports and prospectuses. Under this agreement the Advisor receives an annual fee, payable monthly, calculated on the average daily net assets of each Class at the following rates:

 

FUND    CLASS I     CLASS N  

AQR Risk-Balanced Commodities Strategy Fund

     0.25     0.25

AQR Risk Parity II MV Fund

     0.25        0.25   

AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund

     0.25        0.25   

In addition, the Advisor may, from time to time, compensate third parties (including financial intermediaries) from the fees the Advisor receives under the Shareholder Services Agreement for non-distribution shareholder services such third parties provide to clients or customers that are shareholders of the Funds. Fees incurred by the Funds under the Plan and/or the shareholder services agreement for the year ended December 31, 2013, were as follows:

 

FUND    CLASS I      CLASS N  

AQR Risk-Balanced Commodities Strategy Fund

   $ 140,099       $ 11,180   

AQR Risk Parity II MV Fund

     141,946         37,789   

AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund

     57,683         32,608   

11. Risks and Concentrations

The Funds, at times, utilize substantial leverage in their investment program. Such leverage may take the form of trading on margin, investing in derivative instruments that are inherently leveraged, entering into repurchase transactions and entering into other forms of direct and indirect borrowing.

There is no guarantee that the Funds’ borrowing arrangement or other arrangements for obtaining leverage will continue to be available, or if available, will be available on terms and conditions acceptable to the Funds. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase funding costs, limit access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to the Funds. In addition, a decline in market value of the Funds’ assets may have particular adverse consequences in instances where they have borrowed money based on the market value of those assets. A decrease in market value of those assets may result in the lender (including derivative counterparties) requiring the Funds to post additional collateral or otherwise sell assets at a time when it may not be in the Funds’ best interest to do so.

The counterparties to the Funds’ with respect to the following transactions: securities sold short, currency forward, futures, option and swap contracts and reverse repurchase agreements, include clearing brokers and other major financial institutions. While the Funds utilize multiple clearing brokers and counterparties, a concentration of credit risk exists because of balances held and transactions with a limited number of clearing brokers and counterparties.

By using derivative instruments, the Funds are exposed to the counterparty’s credit risk, the risk that derivative counterparties may not perform in accordance with the contractual provisions offset by the value of any collateral received. The Funds’ exposure to credit risk associated with counterparty non-performance is limited to the unrealized gains inherent in such transactions that are recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds minimize counterparty credit risk through credit limits and approvals, credit monitoring procedures, executing master netting arrangements and managing margin and collateral requirements, as appropriate.

The Funds may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of countries or regions, which may vary throughout the year. Such concentrations may subject the Funds to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies.

Swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (generally equity price risk related to equity index swap agreements, interest rate risk related to bond swap agreements and commodity risk related to synthetic swap agreements utilizing futures) and exposure to loss in excess of the amount reflected on the Statements of Assets and

 

  AQR Funds       Annual Report       December 2013    281
                


Notes to Financial Statements     December 31, 2013   

 

Liabilities. The notional amounts, which are disclosed as of period end in the swap tables included in the Schedules of Investments, reflect the current investment exposure each Fund has under the swap agreement which may exceed the net asset value of the Fund.

The Funds are not limited in the percentage of their assets that may be invested in convertible securities. Convertible securities generally offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible securities of similar quality. The market values of convertible securities tend to decline as interest rates increase and, conversely, to increase as interest rates decline. However, the convertible security’s market value tends to reflect the market price of the common stock of the issuing company when that stock price is greater than the convertible’s “conversion price,” which is the predetermined price at which the convertible security could be exchanged for the associated stock.

Convertible securities and non-convertible income producing securities are subject to certain risks, including (i) if interest rates go up, the value of convertible securities and non-convertible income-producing securities in the Funds’ portfolio generally will decline; (ii) during periods of declining interest rates, the issuer of a security may exercise its option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled, forcing the Funds to reinvest in lower yielding securities (call or prepayment risk); and (iii) during periods of rising interest rates, the average life of certain types of securities may be extended because of slower than expected principal payments (extension risk).

Credit risk is the risk that one or more securities in the Funds’ portfolio will decline in price, or fail to pay interest or principal when due, because the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial status. The Funds’ investments in convertible and nonconvertible debt securities involve credit risk. However, in general, lower rated securities carry a greater degree of risk that the issuer will lose its ability to make interest and principal payments, which could have a negative impact on the Funds’ net asset value or dividends.

If a Fund invests in illiquid investments, it may experience difficulty in selling the investments in a timely manner at the price that it believes the investments are worth. In addition, market conditions may cause the Fund to experience temporary mark-to-market losses, especially in less liquid positions, even in the absence of any selling of investments by the Fund.

Each Fund is subject to market risk, which is the risk that the markets on which the Fund’s investments trade will increase or decrease in value. Market risk applies to every Fund investment. Prices may fluctuate widely over short or extended periods in response to company, market or economic news. Markets also tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices. If there is a general decline in the securities and other markets, your investment in a Fund may lose value, regardless of the individual results of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests.

A Fund may have investments that appreciate or decrease significantly in value over short periods of time. This volatility may cause the Fund’s net asset value per share to experience significant increases or declines in value over short periods of time.

Securities sold short represent obligations of the Fund to deliver specified securities at a future date and thereby create a liability to repurchase the securities at prevailing future market prices. Accordingly, these transactions result in off-balance-sheet risk as the Fund’s ultimate obligation to satisfy the sale of securities sold short may exceed the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

As of December 31, 2013, the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund and AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund pledged a substantial portion of its assets for securities sold short to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.

12. Line of Credit

Effective March 1, 2013 and terminating on March 1, 2014, the Trust had renewed a committed $175,000,000 syndicated line of credit with Bank of America, N.A., as the Administrative Agent. Borrowing, if any, under this arrangement bore interest at the sum of (a) 1.0% per annum plus (b) the higher of (i) the Federal Funds Rate or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate, the amount of such excess, which was paid quarterly. The maximum loan amount outstanding per Fund was the lesser of an amount which did not exceed the borrowing limits set forth in the Funds’ Prospectus and/or Registration Statement and did not cause the Asset Coverage Ratio for all borrowings to drop below 500%. The

Notes to Financial Statements     December 31, 2013   

 

agreement is subject to an annual commitment fee which is payable in arrears on a quarterly basis. In the event of a draw upon the line of credit, investments of the responsible Fund may be designated as collateral until its loan is repaid in full. Funds with less than $25,000,000 in assets are ineligible to draw upon the line of credit. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Funds did not have any outstanding borrowings under this agreement.

13. Principal Ownership

As of December 31, 2013, the Funds had individual shareholder accounts owning more than 5% of the total shares outstanding of the Fund as follows:

 

FUND    NUMBER OF
SHAREHOLDERS
     TOTAL
PERCENTAGE
INTEREST

AQR Long-Short Equity Fund*

     5        86.20%   

AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund*

     3        42.00%   

AQR Style Premia Alternative Fund

     1        88.70%   

* The percentage shown is owned by the Advisor and its affiliates.

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders, if any, may impact the Fund’s Performance.

14. Subsequent Events

On December 3-4, 2013, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved (i) an amendment and restatement of the Investment Advisory Agreement of the AQR Funds removing the AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund (“MF Fund”), AQR Risk-Balanced Commodities Strategy Fund (“Commodities Fund”), AQR Risk Parity II MV Fund (“RP II MV Fund”) and AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund (“RP II HV Fund”, and together with the RP II MV Fund, the “RP II Funds”), effective May 1, 2014 (the “Amended Investment Advisory Agreement”); and (ii) an amendment and restatement of the Investment Management Agreement, effective May 1, 2014, reflecting: (a) the addition of MF Fund, Commodities Fund and the RP II Funds, (b) the bundling of the shareholder servicing fees and contractual advisory fees for the Commodities Fund and RP II Funds for services currently provided separately under the Investment Advisory Agreement and Shareholder Services Agreement (these advisory and shareholder services are currently provided in combination under the Investment Management Agreement for other series of the Trust), and (c) the removal of advisory fee breakpoints for the Commodities Funds and the AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund (“Multi-Strat Fund”), setting the fee rate for advisory services at the lowest rate under the to-be-removed breakpoint schedule (the “Amended Investment Management Agreement” and, together with the Amended Investment Advisory Agreement, the “Amendments”). Under the Amendments, the fee structure for the Commodities Fund, RP II Funds and Multi-Strat Fund will be revised as follows, effective May 1, 2014:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of AQR Funds:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations, of changes in net assets and of cash flows and the financial highlights as well as the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedules of investments, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in net assets and of cash flows and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the ten portfolios that are included in AQR Funds (as listed in Note 1 to the financial statements and collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at December 31, 2013, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets, the cash flows of AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund, AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund, AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund and AQR Style Premia Alternative Fund and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and transfer agents and the application of alternative procedures where confirmation of securities purchased had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Fund Expense Examples (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the Trust, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.

Actual Expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid for the Period Ending 12/31/13” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. Each Fund will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the expenses incurred by the underlying investments in which the Fund invests. These expenses are not included in the table.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds by comparing this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. The Fund will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the expenses incurred by the underlying investments in which the Fund invests. These expenses are not included in the table.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical example is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)

 

AQR Long-Short Equity Fund and AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund   

The Board of Trustees (the “Board,” and the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of the AQR Funds (the “Trust”) met in person on May 29-30, 2013, to consider the approval of the investment management agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the AQR Long-Short Equity Fund and AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund (together, the “Funds”), and AQR Capital Management, LLC (“AQR”) (the “Investment Management Agreement”). In addition, the Board Members who are not “interested persons” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”), held a separate call in advance of the in person meeting held on May 29-30, 2013 with independent legal counsel to review the materials provided and the relevant legal considerations (together with the in person meeting held on May 29-30, 2013, the “Meetings”). In accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested, reviewed and considered materials furnished by AQR relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the Investment Management Agreement. These materials included: (1) memoranda and materials provided by AQR, describing the personnel and services to be provided to the Funds; (2) performance information for strategies and model portfolios relevant to the consideration of the Investment Management Agreement; (3) information independently compiled and prepared by Morningstar Associates, LLC (“Morningstar”) relating to the Funds’ proposed fees and expenses; (4) a discussion of the financial statements of AQR; and (5) a discussion of the compliance program and the regulatory exam history of AQR. AQR is referred to herein as the “Advisor,” as applicable.

At the in person meeting held on May 29-30, 2013, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the Investment Management Agreement for an initial two-year period. The Board considered all factors it believed to be relevant with respect to the Funds, including, among other factors: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor; (b) the investment performance of the Advisor and the Advisor’s portfolio management; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by the Advisor from the relationship with the Funds; (d) economies of scale; and (e) other factors.

The Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, such as the services related to the valuation and pricing of the Funds’ portfolio holdings, direct and indirect benefits to the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds and advice from independent legal counsel with respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Board’s review. The Board did not identify any particular information as controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weightings to the various items considered.

The following is a summary of the Board’s discussion and views regarding the factors it considered in evaluating the Investment Management Agreement:

The Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services to be Provided by the Advisor. The Board Members reviewed the services that the Advisor would provide to the Funds under the Investment Management Agreement. The Board considered the size and experience of the Advisor’s staff, its use of technology, and the Funds’ stated investment objectives, strategies and processes. The Board reviewed the overall qualifications of the Advisor as an investment Advisor. In connection with the investment advisory services to be provided to the Funds, the Board Members took into account discussions they had with officers of the Advisor regarding the management of the Funds’ investments in accordance with the Funds’ stated investment objectives and policies and the types of transactions that would be entered into on behalf of the Funds. During these discussions, the Board Members asked questions of, and received answers from, the officers of the Advisor regarding the formulation and proposed implementation of the Funds’ investment strategies, their efficacy and potential risks.

In addition to the investment advisory services to be provided to the Funds, the Board Members considered that AQR also will provide shareholder and administrative services, oversight of Fund accounting, marketing services, and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements and other services necessary for the operation of the Funds. In particular, the Board Members reviewed the compliance, shareholder and administrative services to be provided to the Funds by AQR.

Finally, the Independent Board Members had an opportunity to meet outside the presence of management in executive session separately with independent legal counsel to discuss and consider the Investment Management Agreement. Based on the presentations and materials at the Meetings, the Board concluded that the services to be provided to the Funds by AQR pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement were likely to be of a high quality and would benefit the Funds.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)

 

Investment Performance and the Advisor’s Portfolio Management. Because the Funds are newly formed, the Board did not consider the investment performance of the Funds. The Board based its review of the Advisor’s performance primarily on the experience of the Advisor in managing other registered investment companies and private funds, noting that other funds the Advisor manages might have investment objectives, policies or restrictions different from those of the Funds. The Board also considered the experience, resources and strengths of the Advisor and its affiliates with respect to the investment strategies proposed for the Funds. Based on these factors, the Board Members determined that the AQR would be an appropriate investment adviser for the Funds.

The Advisory Fee and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by the Advisor from the Relationship with the Funds. The Board, including the Independent Board Members, received and reviewed information regarding the management fees to be paid by the Funds to the Advisor pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement. The Board examined this information in order to determine the reasonableness of the fees in light of the nature and quality of services to be provided to the Funds.

To assist in this analysis, the Board received a report independently prepared by Morningstar. The report showed comparative fee information for each Fund’s respective Morningstar category, including expense comparisons of contractual investment advisory fees and actual net expenses.

The Board also received and reviewed information regarding the profitability of the Advisor with respect to Fund-related activities. The Board took into consideration the Advisor’s profits from the management of other private accounts. The Board also reviewed the Advisor’s methodology of determining profitability. The Board recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Advisor, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and therefore comparability of profitability is somewhat limited.

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s unaudited financial information. The purpose of the review was to help the Independent Board Members determine whether the firm has the necessary resources to continue to provide high quality services to the Funds and attract and retain high quality employees.

The Board concluded that the proposed management fees are reasonable.

Economies of Scale. Because the Funds are newly formed and had not commenced operations as of May 30, 2013, and the eventual aggregate amount of the Funds’ assets was uncertain, the Advisor was not able to provide the Board Members with specific information concerning the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels would reflect such economies of scale, if any. The Advisor presented information to show that the fees were set at a level that is competitive relative to comparable funds of similar, actual or anticipated size. The Board considered that the funds in the AQR fund complex share some common resources and, as a result, an increase in the overall size of the complex could permit each fund to incur lower expenses than it would otherwise as a stand-alone entity. The Board also considered the Advisor’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and further enhance the quality of, its operations.

Other Factors. The Board also took into account other ancillary or “fall out” benefits that the Advisor or its affiliates may derive from its relationship with the Funds, both tangible and intangible. The Board also received information regarding the Advisor’s brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Board considered that the Advisor is responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities for the Funds, selection of broker-dealers and best execution, and aggregation and allocation of trade orders among the firm’s various advisory clients. The Board noted that the Advisor does not presently intend to make use of soft dollars to acquire third-party research.

Conclusion. Counsel advised the Board concerning the statutory and regulatory requirements for approval and disclosure of an investment management agreement. No single factor was determinative to the decision of the Board. Based on the foregoing and such other matters as were deemed relevant, all of the Board Members, including all of the Independent Board Members, concluded that the proposed advisory fee rates and projected total expense ratios were reasonable in relation to the services to be provided by the Advisor to the Funds, as well as the costs incurred and benefits to be gained by the Advisor in providing such services, including the investment advisory and administrative components. The Board also found the proposed investment advisory fees to be reasonable in comparison to the fees charged by advisers to other comparable funds of similar, actual or anticipated size. As a result, all of the Board Members, including the Independent Board Members, approved the Investment Management Agreement with respect to the Funds. The Independent Board Members were represented by independent legal counsel who assisted them in their deliberations.

The Board did not identify any particular information as controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weightings to the various items considered.

The following is a summary of the Board’s discussion and views regarding the factors it considered in evaluating the Investment Management Agreement:

The Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services to be Provided by the Advisor. The Board Members reviewed the services that the Advisor would provide to the Fund under the Investment Management Agreement. The Board considered the size and experience of the Advisor’s staff, its use of technology, and the Fund’s stated investment objective, strategies and processes. The Board reviewed the overall qualifications of the Advisor as an investment adviser. In connection with the investment advisory services to be provided to the Fund, the Board Members took into account discussions they had with officers of the Advisor regarding the management of the Fund’s investments in accordance with the Fund’s stated investment objective and policies and the types of transactions that would be entered into on behalf of the Fund. During these discussions, the Board Members asked questions of, and received answers from, the officers of the Advisor regarding the formulation and proposed implementation of the Fund’s investment strategies, its efficacy and potential risks.

In addition to the investment advisory services to be provided to the Fund, the Board Members considered that AQR also will provide shareholder and administrative services, oversight of Fund accounting, marketing services, and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund. In particular, the Board Members reviewed the compliance, shareholder and administrative services to be provided to the Fund by AQR.

Finally, the Independent Board Members had an opportunity to meet outside the presence of management in executive session separately with independent legal counsel to discuss and consider the Investment Management Agreement. Based on the presentations and materials at the Meetings, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the services to be provided to the Fund by AQR pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement.

Investment Performance and the Advisor’s Portfolio Management. Because the Fund is newly formed, the Board did not consider the investment performance of the Fund. The Board based its review of the Advisor’s performance primarily

on the experience of the Advisor in managing other registered investment companies and private funds, noting that other funds the Advisor manages might have investment objectives, policies or restrictions different from those of the Fund. The Board also considered the experience, resources and strengths of the Advisor and its affiliates with respect to the investment strategies proposed for the Fund. Based on these factors, the Board Members determined that the AQR would be an appropriate investment adviser for the Fund.

The Advisory Fee and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by the Advisor from the Relationship with the Fund. The Board, including the Independent Board Members, received and reviewed information regarding the management fee to be paid by the Fund to the Advisor pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement. The Board examined this information in order to determine the reasonableness of the fee in light of the nature and quality of services to be provided to the Fund.

To assist in this analysis, the Board received a report independently prepared by Morningstar. The report showed comparative fee information for the Fund’s Morningstar category, including expense comparisons of contractual investment advisory fees and actual net expenses.

The Board also received and reviewed information regarding the profitability of the Advisor with respect to Fund-related activities. The Board took into consideration the Advisor’s profits from the management of other private accounts. The Board also reviewed the Advisor’s methodology of determining profitability. The Board recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Advisor, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and therefore comparability of profitability is somewhat limited.

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s audited financial information. The purpose of the review was to help the Independent Board Members determine whether the firm has the necessary resources to continue to provide high quality services to the Fund and attract and retain high quality employees.

The Board concluded that the proposed management fee is reasonable.

Economies of Scale. Because the Fund is newly formed and had not commenced operations as of July 31, 2013, and the eventual aggregate amount of the Fund’s assets was uncertain, the Advisor was not able to provide the Board Members with specific information concerning the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels would reflect such economies of scale, if any. The Advisor presented information to show that the fees were set at a level that is competitive relative to comparable funds of similar, actual or anticipated size. The Board considered that the funds in the AQR fund complex share some common resources and, as a result, an increase in the overall size of the complex could permit each fund to incur lower expenses than it would otherwise as a stand-alone entity. The Board also considered the Advisor’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and further enhance the quality of, its operations.

Other Factors. The Board also took into account other ancillary or “fall out” benefits that the Advisor or its affiliates may derive from its relationship with the Fund, both tangible and intangible. The Board also received information regarding the Advisor’s brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Board considered that the Advisor is responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities for the Fund, selection of broker-dealers and best execution, and aggregation and allocation of trade orders among the firm’s various advisory clients. The Board noted that the Advisor does not presently intend to make use of soft dollars to acquire third-party research.

Conclusion. Counsel advised the Board concerning the statutory and regulatory requirements for approval and disclosure of an investment management agreement. No single factor was determinative to the decision of the Board. Based on the foregoing and such other matters as were deemed relevant, all of the Board Members, including all of the Independent Board Members, concluded that the proposed advisory fee rates and projected total expense ratios were reasonable in relation to the services to be provided by the Advisor to the Fund, as well as the costs incurred and benefits to be gained by the Advisor in providing such services, including the investment advisory and administrative components. The Board also found the proposed investment advisory fee to be reasonable in comparison to the fees charged by advisers to other comparable funds of similar, actual or anticipated size. As a result, all of the Board Members, including the Independent Board Members, approved the Investment Management Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Independent Board Members were represented by independent legal counsel who assisted them in their deliberations.

AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund, AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund, AQR Risk Parity Fund, AQR Risk Parity II MV Fund, AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund, AQR Risk-Balanced Commodities Strategy Fund and AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund

The Board of Trustees (the “Board,” and the members of which are referred to as “Board Members”) of the AQR Funds (the “Trust”) met in person on December 3-4, 2013, to consider the continuation of the: (i) Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund, AQR Risk-Balanced Commodities Strategy Fund, AQR Risk Parity II MV Fund and AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund (each, a “Fund”), and AQR Capital Management, LLC (“AQR”) (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”); (ii) Investment Management Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund, AQR Risk Parity Fund and AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund (each a “Fund”), and AQR (the “Investment Management Agreement”); (iii) the Amended and Restated Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between CNH Partners, LLC (“CNH”), on behalf of the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund, and AQR; and (iv) the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement between CNH, on behalf of the AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund, and AQR, presented at this meeting (collectively, the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”). In connection with these considerations, the Board Members also considered: (i) an amendment and restatement of the Investment Advisory Agreement removing the AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund, AQR Risk-Balanced Commodities Strategy Fund, AQR Risk Parity II MV Fund and AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund, effective May 1, 2014 (the “Amended Investment Advisory Agreement”); and (ii) an amendment and restatement of the Investment Management Agreement, effective May 1, 2014, reflecting: (a) the addition of the AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund, AQR Risk-Balanced Commodities Strategy Fund, AQR Risk Parity II MV Fund and AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund, (b) the bundling of the shareholder servicing fees and contractual advisory fees for the AQR Risk-Balanced Commodities Strategy Fund, AQR Risk Parity II MV Fund and AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund, and (c) the change in management fee structure for the AQR Risk-Balanced Commodities Strategy Fund and the AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund (the “Amended Investment Management Agreement” and, together with the Amended Investment Advisory Agreement, the “Amendments”). In addition, the Board Members who are not “interested persons” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”), held a separate call in advance of the in person meeting held on December 3-4, 2013 with independent legal counsel to review the materials provided and the relevant legal considerations (together with the in person meeting held on December 3-4, 2013, the “Meetings”). In accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested, reviewed, and considered materials furnished by AQR and CNH relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreements, and to approve the Amendments. These materials included: (i) memoranda and materials provided by AQR, describing the personnel and services provided to the Funds; (ii) memoranda and materials provided by CNH, describing the personnel and services provided to the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund and AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund; (iii) performance information for the Funds relevant to the consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements; (iv) information independently compiled and prepared by Morningstar Associates, LLC (“Morningstar”) relating to the Funds’ fees and expenses and certain Funds’ proposed fees and expenses; (v) a discussion of the financial information of AQR and CNH; (vi) a discussion of the compliance programs of AQR and CNH and the regulatory exam histories of each. AQR and CNH are referred to herein as the “Advisor,” as applicable; and (vii) memoranda and materials provided by AQR, describing the proposed changes to the fee structure for certain Funds. The Investment Advisory Agreement (including the Amended Investment Advisory Agreement), the Investment Management Agreement (including the Amended Investment Management Agreement) and the Sub-Advisory Agreements are referred to collectively herein as the “Advisory Agreement,” as applicable and as the context suggests.

At the in person meeting held on December 3-4, 2013, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year period. The Board, including the Independent Board Members, also unanimously approved the Amendments for a one-year period commencing on the effective date of each Amendment. In approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and approving the Amendments, the Board considered all factors it believed to be relevant with respect to the Funds, including, among other factors: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor; (b) the investment performance of the Funds and the Advisor’s portfolio management; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by the Advisor from the relationship with the Funds; (d) economies of scale; and (e) other factors.

The Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, such as services related to the valuation and pricing of the Funds’ portfolio holdings, direct and indirect benefits to the Advisor and its affiliates from

their relationship with the Funds and advice from independent legal counsel with respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Board’s review. The Board did not identify any particular information as controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weightings to the various items considered.

The following is a summary of the Board’s discussion and views regarding the factors it considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreement:

The Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided by the Advisor. The Board Members reviewed the services that the Advisor provides to the Funds under the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the size and experience of the Advisor’s staff, its use of technology, and the Funds’ stated investment objectives, strategies and processes. The Board reviewed the overall qualifications of the Advisor as an investment Advisor. In connection with the investment advisory services provided to the Funds, the Board Members took into account discussions they had with officers of the Advisor regarding the management of each Fund’s investments in accordance with the Funds’ stated investment objectives and policies and the types of transactions that are entered into on behalf of the Funds. During these discussions, the Board Members asked questions of, and received answers from, the officers of the Advisor regarding the formulation and implementation of the Funds’ investment strategies, their efficacy and potential risks.

In addition to the investment advisory services provided to the Funds, the Board Members considered that AQR also provides shareholder and administrative services, has responsibility for overseeing CNH with respect to the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund and AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund, provides oversight of Fund accounting, provides marketing services, and provides assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements and other services necessary for the operation of the Funds. In particular, the Board Members reviewed the compliance, shareholder and administrative services provided to the Funds by AQR. The Board also reviewed a wide range of services provided to certain of the Funds’ shareholders currently provided under a shareholder services agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and AQR, and which for certain Funds, as described below, have been, or will prospectively be provided pursuant to the Amended Investment Management Agreement. These services include providing information and services to Fund shareholders, including professional and informative reporting, access to analysis and explanations of Fund reports, and electronic access to Fund information.

Finally, the Independent Board Members had an opportunity to meet outside the presence of management in executive session separately with independent legal counsel to discuss and consider the Advisory Agreement. Based on the presentations and materials at the Meetings, the Board concluded that the services provided to the Funds by AQR pursuant to the Advisory Agreement were of a high quality and benefit the Funds.

Investment Performance of the Funds and the Advisor’s Portfolio Management. The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund. In particular, the Independent Board Members considered the investment performance of the Funds relative to their stated objectives and the Advisor’s success in reaching such goals as well as the performance of the Funds relative to their peers. The Board also considered the Advisor’s performance in managing other registered investment companies and private funds, noting that other funds the Advisor manages might have investment objectives, policies or restrictions different from those of the Funds. Based on these factors, the Board Members determined that AQR is an appropriate investment Advisor for the Funds.

The Advisory Fee and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by the Advisor from the Relationship with the Funds. The Board, including the Independent Board Members, received and reviewed information regarding the management fees to be paid by the Funds to the Advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. The Board examined this information in order to determine the reasonableness of the fees in light of the nature and quality of services provided to the Funds.

The Board further examined the proposed changes to the fee structure in the Amendments. The Board noted that the Amendments would remove advisory fee breakpoints totaling 0.05%, and simultaneously set the contractual advisory fee at the lowest rate under the to-be-removed breakpoint schedule, for the AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund. The Board further noted that the Amendments would (i) remove advisory fee breakpoints totaling 0.05% for the AQR Risk-Balanced Commodities Strategy Fund and simultaneously bundle the Fund’s advisory fee and the shareholder services fee into one management fee that would be 0.05% less than the sum of the advisory fee at the highest rate under the to-be-removed breakpoint schedule and shareholder services fee of the Fund prior to the Amendments, and (ii) move the AQR Risk-Balanced Commodities Strategy Fund from the Investment Advisory Agreement (an agreement that does not provide for shareholder services) to the Investment Management Agreement (an agreement that provides for shareholder services). Finally, the Board noted that the Amendments would (i) bundle the respective advisory fees and shareholder

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)

 

services fees for the AQR Risk Parity II MV Fund and AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund into one management fee that would equal the sum of the advisory fee and shareholder services fee of these Funds prior to the Amendments, and (ii) move the AQR Risk Parity II MV Fund and AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund from the Investment Advisory Agreement (an agreement that does not provide for shareholder services) to the Investment Management Agreement (an agreement that provides for shareholder services).

To assist in this analysis, the Board received two reports independently prepared by Morningstar (“Morningstar Report”) — one report reflecting the current contractual advisory fees and actual net expenses for the Funds and the second report reflecting the proposed changes to the contractual advisory fees and actual net expenses for the Funds. The Morningstar Report illustrated comparative fee information for each Fund’s Morningstar category, including expense comparisons of contractual investment advisory fees and actual net expenses.

The Board also received and reviewed information regarding the profitability of the Advisor with respect to Fund-related activities. The Board took into consideration the Advisor’s profits from the management of other private accounts. The Board also reviewed the Advisor’s methodology of determining profitability. The Board recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Advisor, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and therefore comparability of profitability is somewhat limited.

The Board reviewed the Advisor’s unaudited financial information. The purpose of the review was to help the Independent Board Members determine whether the firm has the necessary resources to continue to provide high quality services to the Funds and attract and retain high quality employees.

Based on their review of the materials presented at the Meeting, the Board concluded that the management fees under the Advisory Agreement and the Amendments are reasonable.

Economies of Scale. The Advisor provided to the Board with information concerning the extent to which economies of scale were realized as the Funds grew and whether fee levels were reflective of such economies of scale. The Board noted that, under the current Advisory Agreement, none of the Funds, except for the AQR Risk Parity Fund, AQR Risk Parity II MV Fund, AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund, AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund and AQR Risk-Balanced Commodities Strategy Fund, would have breakpoints in their advisory fees that would allow investors to benefit directly in the form of lower fees as fund assets grew. However, the Advisor presented information to show that the fees were set at a level that is competitive relative to comparable funds of similar size. The Board considered that, under the Amendments, except for the AQR Risk Parity Fund, AQR Risk Parity II MV Fund and AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund, existing breakpoints would be removed with a corresponding lowering of the overall advisory fee. The Board considered that the funds in the AQR fund complex share some common resources and, as a result, an increase in the overall size of the complex could permit each Fund to incur lower expenses than it would otherwise as a stand-alone entity. The Board also considered the Advisor’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and further enhance the quality of, its operations.

Other Factors. The Board also took into account other ancillary or “fall-out” benefits that the Advisor or its affiliates may derive from its relationship with the Funds, both tangible and intangible. The Board also received information regarding the Advisor’s brokerage and soft dollar practices. The Board considered that the Advisor is responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities for the Funds, selection of broker-dealers and best execution, and aggregation and allocation of trade orders among the firms’ various advisory clients. The Board noted that the Advisor does not presently intend to make use of soft dollars to acquire third-party research.

Conclusion. Counsel advised the Board concerning the statutory and regulatory requirements for approval and disclosure of investment advisory agreements. No single factor was determinative to the decision of the Board. Based on the foregoing and such other matters as were deemed relevant, all of the Board Members, including all of the Independent Board Members, concluded that the advisory fee rates (under the existing Investment Advisory Agreement and under the Amendments), the management fee rates (under the existing Investment Management Agreement and under the Amendments) and total expense ratios are reasonable in relation to the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds, as well as the costs incurred and benefits to be gained by the Advisor in providing such services, including the investment advisory and shareholder servicing components. The Board also found the investment advisory and management fees to be reasonable in comparison to the fees charged by Advisors to other comparable funds of similar size. As a result, all of the Board Members, including the Independent Board Members, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Funds. The Independent Board Members were represented by independent legal counsel who assisted them in their deliberations.
