1. Organization

AQR Funds (the “Trust”), was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on September 4, 2008. The Trust is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As of March 31, 2018, the Trust consists of thirty-eight active series, twenty-four of which are presented in this book (collectively, the “Funds” and each individually a “Fund”): AQR Large Cap Multi-Style Fund, AQR Small Cap Multi-Style Fund, AQR International Multi-Style Fund, AQR Emerging Multi-Style Fund, AQR TM Large Cap Multi-Style Fund, AQR TM Small Cap Multi-Style Fund, AQR TM International Multi-Style Fund, AQR TM Emerging Multi-Style Fund, AQR Large Cap Momentum Style Fund, AQR Small Cap Momentum Style Fund, AQR International Momentum Style Fund, AQR Emerging Momentum Style Fund, AQR TM Large Cap Momentum Style Fund, AQR TM Small Cap Momentum Style Fund, AQR TM International Momentum Style Fund, AQR Large Cap Defensive Style Fund, AQR International Defensive Style Fund, AQR Emerging Defensive Style Fund, AQR Global Equity Fund, AQR International Equity Fund, AQR Large Cap Relaxed Constraint Equity Fund, AQR Small Cap Relaxed Constraint Equity Fund, AQR International Relaxed Constraint Equity Fund and AQR Emerging Relaxed Constraint Equity Fund. The remaining active series are reported in separate books. AQR Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser of each Fund.

The investment objective for AQR Large Cap Multi-Style Fund, AQR Small Cap Multi-Style Fund, AQR International Multi-Style Fund, AQR Emerging Multi-Style Fund, AQR Large Cap Momentum Style Fund, AQR Small Cap Momentum Style Fund, AQR International Momentum Style Fund, AQR Emerging Momentum Style Fund, AQR Global Equity Fund, AQR International Equity Fund, AQR Large Cap Relaxed Constraint Equity Fund, AQR Small Cap Relaxed Constraint Equity Fund, AQR International Relaxed Constraint Equity Fund and AQR Emerging Relaxed Constraint Equity Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The investment objective for AQR Large Cap Defensive Style Fund, AQR International Defensive Style Fund and AQR Emerging Defensive Style Fund is to seek total return. The investment objective for AQR TM Large Cap Multi-Style Fund, AQR TM Small Cap Multi-Style Fund, AQR TM International Multi-Style Fund, AQR TM Emerging Multi-Style Fund, AQR TM Large Cap Momentum Style Fund, AQR TM Small Cap Momentum Style Fund and AQR TM International Momentum Style Fund is to seek long-term after-tax capital appreciation. Each Fund offers Class I, N and R6 shares.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The Funds are investment companies and apply specialized accounting and reporting guidance in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Adviser to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

Valuation of Investments: All securities and other investments are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 4.

Cash: Cash comprises U.S. Dollar and foreign currency deposits held at a bank(s) or custodian bank(s) 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 Brokers: Due to/from brokers represents cash balances on deposit with, or cash balances owed to, 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.

Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. Dollars. The Funds’ assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars at the prevailing exchange rate at the valuation date. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The Funds’ income earned and expense incurred in foreign denominated currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of such activity.

The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the foreign exchange rates on investments and derivatives from the fluctuations that result from changes in the market prices of investments and derivatives held or sold during the period. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized gain (loss) from transactions in investment securities and derivatives and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and derivatives on the Statements of Operations.

Realized gains (losses) from settlement of foreign currency and foreign currency transactions reported on the Statements of Operations arise from the disposition of foreign currency and a change between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books on the transaction date and the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency and foreign currency translations reported on the Statements of Operations 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.

Investment Transactions and Related Income: Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions 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) net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the ex-date dividend notification. Upon notification from issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, is recognized on the accrual basis. For inflation-linked bonds, interest income (expense) is earned on the principal amount and adjusted for the changes in the relevant consumer price index.

Multi-class Operations: Each class of shares offered by the Trust has equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different sub-transfer agency and distribution fees and shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares. Income, non-class specific expenses, realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of relative net assets at the beginning of each day. Each Fund is charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to each Fund. 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.

Offering Cost: Offering costs, including professional fees, printing fees and initial registration, are amortized over a period not longer than twelve months from the date the Funds commenced operations.

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 taxable net investment income and capital gains, if applicable, to shareholders. Accordingly no provision for Federal income tax is necessary.

The Adviser 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 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 not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax expense will materially change in the next twelve months. The returns of the Funds for the prior three fiscal years as well as current year, or since inception if shorter, are open for examination. As of March 31, 2018, the Funds had no examinations in progress.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income (loss) and realized gain (loss) reported on the Funds’ financial statements presented under GAAP.

Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been recorded to paid in capital. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified between undistributed net investment income, accumulated undistributed/overdistributed net realized gains or losses and/or paid in capital to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax characterizations of dividend distributions.

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.

3. Securities and Other Investments

Limited Purpose Cash Investment Fund: Certain Funds may invest in the Limited Purpose Cash Investment Fund (the “LPCI Fund”), which is managed by UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS AM”). The LPCI Fund is a registered investment company under the 1940 Act and is subject to the money market regulations as prescribed in Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the LPCI Fund’s eligibility requirements, shares of the LPCI Fund are only available for sale to the Adviser and funds advised by the Adviser. Those Funds investing in the LPCI Fund indirectly bear their share of the advisory and operating expenses borne by the LPCI Fund. Section 2a-3 of the 1940 Act defines an affiliated person as, among other things, a company in which a Fund owns at least 5% of the outstanding voting securities. The LPCI Fund may be considered an affiliated person of some of the Funds in the Trust. However, the Funds do not invest in the LPCI Fund for the purpose of exercising a controlling influence over its management, board or policies. A summary of transactions with each affiliated person is included in the Schedules of Investments, if applicable.

Securities Sold Short: Certain Funds may engage in short sales, which is when a Fund sells 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. When one of the Funds makes a short sale, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker 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 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, which could be 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 it 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 Statements of Operations.

The Funds are required to pledge cash or liquid securities to the broker as collateral for securities sold short. Collateral requirements are calculated daily based on the current market value of the short positions. Daily market fluctuations and trading activity could cause the value of securities sold short to be more or less than the value of the collateral segregated. Cash deposited with the 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 the dividend and interest on securities sold short in the Statements of Operations and are as follows:

Futures Contracts: Certain Funds invest in futures contracts as part of their primary investment strategy and to equitize its cash flows. 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 receive the return of the entire margin owed to the Funds, potentially resulting in a loss. A change in market value of an open futures contract is recorded in the Statements of Operations as net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts. A realized gain (loss) represents 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 is reported in the Statements of Operations. The use of long futures contracts subjects the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the variation margin on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. 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 that a Fund intends to buy are denominated, when a Fund holds cash reserves and short term investments), or for other investment purposes. 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 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 Funds are unable to enter into a closing position. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in U.S. Dollars 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 may be privately negotiated in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market where 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 centrally cleared swaps, the Schedules of Investments includes the cumulative appreciation (depreciation), while only the current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For credit default and interest rate contracts, an up-front payment received by a Fund is recorded as a liability and 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. If there is no up-front payment or receipt, market value will equal unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Periodic payments received (paid) by a Fund are recorded as realized gains (losses) from the expiration or closing of swap contracts in the Statements of Operations. The Funds’ use of swap contracts create additional risks beyond those that would exist if the Funds invested in the underlying positions directly.

Total Return Swap Contracts: Certain Funds invest in total return swaps to obtain exposure to the underlying referenced instruments, 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 and the change, if any, is recorded as net change in appreciation (depreciation) on swap contracts in the Statements of Operations. Total return swaps normally do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets. If the counterparty to a total return swap contract defaults, a Fund’s risk of loss consists of the net amount of payments the Fund is contractually entitled to receive, if any. The use of long total return swap contracts subject the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Schedule of Investments. The use of short total return swaps subject the Funds to potential unlimited loss. Periodic payments received (paid) by the Funds are recorded as realized gains (losses) from the expiration or closing of swap contracts in the Statements of Operations. 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 a total return basket swap agreement to obtain exposure to a portfolio of long and/or 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. The absolute notional value of the total return basket swap represents the accumulated notional value of the underlying long components and absolute notional value of the short components held within the total return basket swap at period end. The notional value of each component represents the market value at period end. The Funds have 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 financing charges and credits related to the notional values of the long and short positions and cash balances within the swap. Finance charges and credits are based on defined market rates plus or minus a specified spread. Positions within the swap are reset periodically, and financing costs are reset monthly. During a reset, any realized gains (losses) from positions, income, proceeds from corporate actions and accrued financing costs may become available for cash settlement between the Funds and the swap counterparty. Prior to the reset, these amounts are included as a component of the swap value in Net cash and other receivables (payables). Cash settlement in and out of the swap may occur at a reset date or any other date, at the discretion of the Funds 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 Funds and the counterparty. The maturity dates are measured from the commencement of investment in each underlying portfolio swap positions. A change in the market value of a total return basket swap contract is recognized as net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap contracts in the Statements of Operations. Cash settlements between a Fund and the counterparty are recognized as net realized gain (loss) from expiration or closing of swap contracts 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.

Securities Lending: Certain Funds may lend securities to qualified borrowers approved by the Adviser in order to generate additional income. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Funds collateral consisting of cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Collateral received by each Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% to 105% of the market value of the securities on loan. Daily market fluctuations could cause the value of loaned securities to be more or less than the value of the collateral received. When this occurs, the collateral is adjusted and settled on the next business day. During the term of a loan, the Funds are entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities, but does not receive interest income on securities received as collateral. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time.

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. 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. 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 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 the Global Securities Lending Agency Agreement between the Funds and the lending agent, Citibank, N.A.

The market value of any securities on loan, all of which were classified as common stocks/investment companies in the Funds’ Schedules of Investments, and the value of any related cash collateral are shown separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a component of Investments in securities of unaffiliated issues, at value, and Collateral received on securities loaned, respectively. As of period end, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash and/or U.S. Government obligations. Cash collateral invested by the securities lending agent, if any, is disclosed in the Schedules of Investments. Non-cash collateral received, if any, is disclosed in a footnote to the Schedules of Investments for each Fund. Securities lending income, net on the Statement of Operations represents fees charged to borrowers plus income earned on invested cash collateral, less expenses associated with the loan. Certain of the securities on loan may have been sold prior to the close of the reporting period and are included in Receivables for Securities Sold on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The following table presents the liabilities under the outstanding securities lending transactions as of the reporting period end, on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks associated with the investment of the cash collateral received for each Fund. The remaining contractual maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous.

The securities lending transactions are governed by a Global Securities Lending Agency Agreement, which is not considered to be a master netting arrangement. As a result the liabilities associated with the securities lending transactions are not disclosed in Note 7 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

Master Agreements: Certain Funds are parties to master netting arrangements with counterparties (“Master Agreements”). Master Agreements govern the terms of certain like transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying payment netting mechanisms across multiple transactions and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Since different types of transactions have different mechanics and are sometimes traded by different legal entities of a particular counterparty organization, each type of transaction may be covered by a different Master Agreement, resulting in the need for multiple Master Agreements with a counterparty and its affiliates.

As the Master Agreements are specific to unique operations of different asset types, they allow the Funds to i.) close out and net their total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single Master Agreement with a counterparty, ii.) exit transactions through means other than sale, such as through a negotiated agreement with the Funds’ counterparty, a transfer to another party, or close out of the position through execution of an offsetting transaction.

Prime Broker Arrangements may be entered into to facilitate execution and/or clearing of equities, bonds, equity options or short sales of securities between certain Funds and selected counterparties. These arrangements provide financing terms for such transactions and include guidelines surrounding the rights, obligations, and other events, including, but not limited to, margin, execution, and settlement. These agreements maintain provisions for payments, maintenance of collateral, events of default, and termination. Margin and other assets delivered as collateral are typically held by the prime broker and offset any obligations due to the prime broker.

Customer Account Agreements govern cleared derivatives transactions and exchange-traded futures and options transactions. Upon entering into an exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivative contract, the Funds are required to deposit with the relevant clearing organization cash or securities, which is referred to as the initial margin. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedules of Investments and

cash deposited is recorded as Deposits with brokers for centrally cleared swaps and Deposits with brokers for futures contracts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For exchange-traded futures or centrally cleared swaps, initial margin is posted, and daily changes in fair value are recorded as a payable or receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Variation margin on centrally cleared swaps and Variation margin on futures contracts. Variation margin is determined separately for exchange-traded futures and centrally cleared swaps and cannot be netted.

International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements and Credit Support Annexes (“ISDA Master Agreements”) govern OTC derivative transactions entered into between certain Funds and a counterparty. ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, netting of settlement payments, agreements to deliver supporting documents, collateral transfer and events of default or termination. Events of termination include a decline in the Fund’s net assets below a specified threshold over a certain period of time or 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 OTC 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 a party to elect early termination could be material to the financial statements and impact a Fund’s future derivative activity.

Collateral and margin requirements differ according to the terms of each type of Master Agreement. Collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure net of existing collateral already in place governed under the relevant Master Agreement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold. Collateral can be in the form of cash, debt securities issued by the U.S. government, money market funds and other securities as agreed to by the Fund and the applicable counterparty, or as permitted by the clearing house or exchange.

Collateral pledged by a Fund for OTC derivatives pursuant to a Master Agreement is segregated by the Fund’s custodian and identified as an asset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities either as a component of Investments in securities, at value (securities) or in Due from brokers (cash). Segregation of fund’s collateral in the custodian account helps mitigate counterparty risk.

Collateral posted for the benefit of a Fund pursuant to a Master Agreement is held by a custodian of the Fund. Amounts which can be invested or repledged, are presented in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Collateral received is reflected as a liability within Due to brokers in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities subject to master netting agreements on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

4. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements

Investment Valuation Policies: The Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of the Funds’ shares are valued as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day that the NYSE is open (each a “Business Day”). The NAV per share of each class within each Fund is computed by dividing the total current value of the assets of such Fund attributable to a class, less class liabilities, by the total number of shares of that class of the Fund outstanding at the time the computation is made. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. For purposes of calculating the NAV, portfolio securities and other financial derivative instruments are valued on each Business Day using valuation methods as adopted by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”).

The Board has delegated responsibility for applying approved valuation policies to the Adviser, subject to Board oversight. The Adviser has established a Valuation Committee (the “VC”) whose function is to administer, implement and oversee the continual appropriateness of valuation approaches applied and the determination of adjustments to the fair valuation of portfolio securities and other financial derivative instruments in good faith after consideration of market factor changes and events affecting issuers. The Adviser performs a series of activities to provide reasonable assurance of the accuracy of prices including: (i) periodic vendor due diligence meetings, review of approaches and techniques, new developments and processes at vendors, (ii) review of daily comparison of security valuation versus prior day for all securities that exceeded established thresholds, (iii) review of third party model prices against internal model prices, and (iv) review the results of back testing and reports for the Board on the results of fair value determinations.

Where market quotes are readily available, fair market value is generally determined on the basis of official closing prices or the last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from pricing services or established market makers. Where market quotations are not readily available, or if an available market quotation is determined not to reflect fair value, securities or financial derivatives are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the VC in accordance with the valuation procedures approved by the Funds’ Board. Using fair value to price a security may require subjective determinations about the value of a security that could 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 an active ready market for the investments existed. These differences could be material.

Fair Value Hierarchy: Various inputs are utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels as follows:

Level 1 — Inputs using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board or persons acting at their direction that are used in determining the fair value of investments.

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 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.

Valuation Techniques: The following inputs and techniques may be used by the Funds to evaluate how to classify each major category of assets and liabilities into the appropriate fair value hierarchy in accordance with GAAP.

Equity securities, including securities sold short, rights, exchange options, warrants, Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”) and closed-end investment companies, are valued at the last quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market, in which each security trades and are therefore classified Level 1.

An equity for which no sales are reported, as in the case of a security that is traded in the over the counter market or a less liquid listed equity, is valued at its last bid price (in the case of short sales, at the ask price) and is therefore classified Level 2. In addition, equities traded outside of the Western Hemisphere are classified Level 2 because they are fair valued daily based on the application of a fair value factor (unless the Adviser determines that use of another valuation methodology is appropriate). The Funds apply daily fair value factors, furnished by an independent pricing service, to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign market and the close of the NYSE. 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, American Depositary Receipts, futures contracts and exchange rates in other markets in determining fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its net asset value.

Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less) and other investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs and 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 using the latest bid prices or evaluated quotes furnished by independent pricing services, as well as quotations from counterparties and other market participants. Evaluated quotes are based on a matrix system, which may consider such factors as quoted prices for identical or similar assets, yields, maturities and ratings and are not necessarily reliant on quoted prices. Short-term debt investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. These investments are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

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 may use one or more valuation approaches (e.g., the market approach, the income approach, or the cost approach), including proprietary models for which sufficient and reliable data is available. Within Level 3, the market approach generally is based on the technique of using comparable market transactions, while the use of the income approach includes the estimation of future cash flows discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or durations of any restrictions on the disposition of the investment or adjusted as appropriate for 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, changes in financial ratios or cash flows, benchmark yield curves, credit spreads, estimated default rates, underlying collateral, and other unique security features. Level 3 investments may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the Adviser in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the Funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the fair value of the investment.

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 their constitutes the principal market or, if no sales occurred on such date, at the bid price on such exchange at the close of business on such date. Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a multilateral trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are valued on daily basis using quotations provided by an independent pricing service.

OTC derivatives, including forward contracts and swap contracts, are fair valued by the Funds on a daily basis using observable inputs, such as quotations provided by an independent pricing service, the counterparty, dealers or brokers, whenever available and considered reliable.

The value of each total return swap contract is derived from a combination of (i) the net value of the underlying positions, which are valued daily using the last sale or closing price 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 U.S. Dollar value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts is determined using current forward currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing service.

Generally, a valuation model is used consistently for similar derivative types. 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 typically may include market prices for reference securities, yield curves, credit spreads, measures of volatility, prepayment rates and implied correlations of such inputs which are obtained from outside brokers and/or pricing services when available. 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. Those OTC derivatives that have less liquidity or for which inputs are unobservable are classified within Level 3. While the valuations of less liquid OTC derivatives may utilize some Level 1 and/or Level 2 inputs, they also may include other unobservable inputs which may be considered significant to the fair value determination.

  *   Derivative instruments, including futures, forward foreign currency exchange, total return swap and total return basket swap contracts, are reported at the cumulative unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of the instrument within the Funds’ Schedule of Investments. Only current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for exchange-traded and cleared derivatives.
    Please refer to the Schedule of Investments to view securities segregated by country.
  (a)   Security has zero value.

The Funds recognize all transfers at the beginning of the reporting period, related unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is also transferred out at the beginning of the reporting period. Transfers between Level 1 and 2 generally relate to whether the principal market for the security becomes active or inactive. 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. During the period ended March 31, 2018, the amount of securities that transferred from Level 1 into Level 2 for the AQR Emerging Relaxed Constraint Equity Fund was $45,674 and the amount of securities that transferred from Level 2 into Level 1 for the AQR International Multi-Style Fund, AQR Emerging Multi-Style Fund, AQR TM International Multi-Style Fund, AQR TM Emerging Multi-Style Fund, AQR International Momentum Style Fund, AQR Emerging Momentum Style Fund, AQR TM International Momentum Style Fund, AQR International Defensive Style Fund, AQR Emerging Defensive Style Fund, AQR Global Equity Fund, AQR International Equity Fund, AQR International Relaxed Constraint Equity Fund and AQR Emerging Relaxed Constraint Equity Fund was $72,016,563, $87,879,531, $30,687,179, $105,096,955, $122,592,285, $3,364,053, $34,634,092, $55,530,207, $32,515,144, $18,620,487, $70,574,762, $13,210,872, $14,083,866 respectively. There were no transfers of investments between levels for any of the remaining Funds.

During the period ended March 31, 2018, there were no transfers of investments between levels for any of the Funds. There were no other Level 3 securities held at period end, except those securities classified as Level 3 in the Schedules of Investments that are considered

quantitatively insignificant in the aggregate for the AQR Small Cap Multi-Style Fund, AQR TM Small Cap Multi-Style Fund, AQR Small Cap Momentum Style Fund, AQR Emerging Momentum Style Fund, AQR Emerging Defensive Style Fund, AQR Global Equity Fund, AQR International Equity Fund, AQR Small Cap Relaxed Constraint Equity Fund and AQR Emerging Relaxed Constraint Equity Fund.

The fair market values of Level 3 investments are based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Adviser’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 a Fund’s investments in common stocks, corporate bonds, convertible bonds, convertible preferred stocks and warrants potentially include credit spread, liquidity discount, earnings multiples 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 discounts, theoretical values, 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.

7. Derivative Instruments and Activities

Certain Funds use derivative instruments as part of their principal investment strategy to achieve their investment objectives. The Funds’ derivative contracts are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. All derivative instruments held by the Funds were subject to a master netting agreement or similar arrangement.

The Trust, in turn, agreed that the Funds will repay the fee waiver/expense reimbursement to the Adviser. A repayment shall be payable only to the extent it can be made during the thirty-six months following the applicable month during which the Adviser waived fees or reimbursed the applicable Fund for its operating expenses under the Agreement. Such repayment shall be made only out of the class of the Fund for which the applicable fee waiver and expense reimbursement was made. Repayments with respect to a Fund must be limited to amounts that do not cause the aggregate operating expenses of the Fund attributable to a share class during a year in which such repayment is made to exceed the lesser of (i) the applicable limits in effect at the time of the waiver and/or reimbursement, or (ii) the applicable limits in effect at the time of recapture.

For the period ended March 31, 2018, the amounts waived and reimbursed by the Adviser, as well as the amounts available for potential future recoupment by the Adviser and the expiration schedule at March 31, 2018 are as follows:

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. 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.

10. Principal Risks and Concentrations

In the normal course of business the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). A Fund’s investments in financial derivatives and other financial instruments may expose the Fund to various elements of market risks which include interest rate, foreign currency, equity and commodity risks.

Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. 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).

Currency risk arises from the possibility that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates will affect the value of cash balances held in foreign currencies and non-U.S. denominated financial instruments. In addition, the Funds’ use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts may expose them to the risk that the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably relative to the U.S. Dollar. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons.

The market values of equities, such as common stocks and preferred securities or equity related investments such as futures and options, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company. They may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries. The Funds may invest in illiquid investments and may experience difficulty in selling those investments in a timely manner at the price that it believes the investments are worth. 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. This volatility may cause the Fund’s net asset value to experience significant increases or decreases over short periods of time. If there is a general decline in the securities and other markets, the net asset value of a Fund may lose value, regardless of the individual results of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests.

Exposure to the commodities markets may subject a Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative investments and exchange-traded notes may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity.

In addition to market risk, the Funds may be exposed to 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 (credit risk). Credit risk is measured by the loss a Fund would record if the major financial institution or other counterparties failed to perform pursuant to terms of their obligations. Certain Funds may primarily maintain cash balances at one or several major financial institutions that may exceed federally insured limits and as such each of the Funds have credit risk associated with such financial institutions. 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. The Funds minimize credit risk by monitoring credit exposure and collateral values, and by requiring additional collateral to be promptly deposited with or returned to each of the Funds when deemed necessary.

Similar to credit risk, a Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions will default. Financial assets, which potentially expose a Fund to counterparty risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. By using derivative instruments, the Funds may be exposed to 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 counterparties to the Funds’ derivative investments may include affiliates of the Funds’ clearing brokers and other major financial institutions. While the Funds use multiple clearing brokers and counterparties, a concentration of credit risk may exist because of balances held and transactions with a limited number of clearing brokers and counterparties. 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.

In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into agreements with certain counterparties for derivative transactions. A number of each Fund’s Master Agreements contain provisions that require each Fund to maintain a predetermined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of a Fund’s net asset value over specified time periods. If a Fund was to violate such provisions, the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions. If such events are not cured by the Fund or waived by the counterparties, they may decide to curtail or limit extension of credit, and the Fund may be forced to unwind its derivative positions which may result in material losses.

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 reverse repurchase transactions and entering into other forms of direct and indirect borrowings. 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 Adviser relies heavily on quantitative models and information and data supplied by third parties. When models and data prove to be incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon may expose the Fund to potential risks. Such models may produce unexpected results, which can result in losses for a Fund.

Periodically, the Funds may be a party to legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Funds are currently not subject to any actions that either individually or in the aggregate are expected to have a material impact on their results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

11. Interfund Lending

Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Funds may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program (the “Interfund Lending Program”) to the extent such participation is consistent with each Fund’s investment objective and investment policies. This program allows the Funds to borrow money from and lend money to other AQR Funds that permit such transactions. All loans under the Interfund Lending Program are for temporary cash management or emergency purposes. Interest earned or paid on an interfund lending transaction will be based on the average of certain current market rates, as calculated according to a formula established by the Board. No Fund may borrow or lend money through the Interfund Lending Program unless it receives a more favorable rate than is typically available for comparable borrowings from a bank or investments in U.S. Treasury bills, respectively.

A lending Fund may lend in aggregate up to 15% of its net assets, but may not lend more than 5% of its net assets to any one borrowing Fund through the Interfund Lending Program. A borrowing Fund may not borrow through the Interfund Lending Program or from any other source more than 33 1/3% of its total assets. If a borrowing Fund’s total outstanding borrowings exceed 10% of its total assets, the Fund must (i) repay all of its outstanding loans through the Interfund Lending Program, (ii) reduce its outstanding indebtedness to 10% or less of its total assets, or (iii) secure each of its outstanding borrowings through the Interfund Lending Program with collateral with a market value at least equal to 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan.

The Funds are not required to borrow money under the Interfund Lending Program and may borrow under other arrangements, including their existing bank line of credit. This could result in a Fund borrowing money at a higher interest rate than it would have received under the Interfund Lending Program.

During the reporting period, the Funds did not utilize the Interfund Lending Program.

12. Line of Credit

Effective February 23, 2018 and terminating on February 22, 2019, the Trust renewed a committed syndicated line of credit (the “Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as the Administrative Agent. Borrowing, if any, under this arrangement bears, as incurred, 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, which is paid monthly. The maximum loan amount available to a Fund is the lesser of an amount which will not exceed the borrowing limits set forth in the Funds’ Prospectus and/or Registration Statement and will not cause the asset coverage ratio for any borrowings by a Fund to drop below the required amount under the Agreement (between 300-500% per Fund). The 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, liquid assets of the borrowing Fund may be designated as collateral until its loan is repaid in full. The line of credit available is in the amount of $350,000,000, prior to February 23, 2018 the line of credit available was $300,000,000 at substantially similar terms.

Significant shareholder transactions by these shareholders, if any, may impact the Funds’ performance.

14. New Accounting Pronouncements and Regulations

In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted Final Rule Release No. 33-10231, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, to modernize and enhance the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The new rules will allow the SEC to more effectively collect and use data reported by funds, enhance disclosure regarding fund liquidity and redemption practices, and permit open-end funds to offer swing pricing, subject to board approval and review.

Compliance with, and adoption of, these rules will have no effect on the Funds’ net assets or results of operations. Management is continuing to evaluate the impact on the disclosure and presentation of the Funds’ financial statements.

15. Subsequent Events

The Funds have evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of this report and have determined that there are no material events other than those noted above.

Table of Contents
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 03/31/18” 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

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 November 16-17, 2017 to consider the continuation of the: (i) Third Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement between AQR Capital Management, LLC (“AQR” or the “Adviser”) and the AQR Funds on behalf of the AQR Global Equity Fund, AQR International Equity Fund, AQR Large Cap Momentum Style Fund, AQR Small Cap Momentum Style Fund, AQR International Momentum Style Fund, AQR Emerging Momentum Style Fund, AQR TM Large Cap Momentum Style Fund, AQR TM Small Cap Momentum Style Fund, AQR TM International Momentum Style Fund, AQR Large Cap Defensive Style Fund, AQR International Defensive Style Fund, AQR Emerging Defensive Style Fund, AQR Large Cap Multi-Style Fund, AQR Small Cap Multi-Style Fund, AQR International Multi-Style Fund, AQR Emerging Multi-Style Fund, AQR TM Large Cap Multi-Style Fund, AQR TM Small Cap Multi-Style Fund, AQR TM International Multi-Style Fund and AQR TM Emerging Multi-Style Fund; (ii) the First Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement between AQR and the AQR Funds, to reflect a 5 basis point reduction in the advisory fee for the AQR International Equity Fund, effective on January 29, 2018 (the “Amendment”); (iii) the Investment Management Agreement II, as amended, between AQR and the AQR Funds on behalf of the AQR Large Cap Relaxed Constraint Equity Fund, AQR Small Cap Relaxed Constraint Equity Fund, AQR International Relaxed Constraint Equity Fund and AQR Emerging Relaxed Constraint Equity Fund; and (iv) a Fourth Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursement Agreement on behalf of the Funds (the “A&R Fee Waiver Agreement”). Each of the aforementioned series of the Trust may be referred to herein as a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds.” The Investment Management Agreement (including the Amendment) and the Investment Management Agreement II are referred to collectively herein as the “Management Agreement,” as applicable and as the context suggests.

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 telephonic meeting on November 11, 2017 with independent legal counsel and representatives of AQR to review the materials provided and the relevant legal considerations (together with the in-person meeting held on November 16-17, 2017, 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 continuation of the Management Agreement. These materials included: (i) memoranda and materials provided by AQR describing the personnel and services provided to the Funds; (ii) performance information for the Funds relevant to the consideration of the Management Agreement; (iii) information independently compiled and prepared by Morningstar Associates, LLC (“Morningstar”) relating to the Funds’ fees and expenses and performance relative to peers; (iv) a discussion of the financial information and profitability of AQR and (v) a discussion of the compliance program of AQR and the regulatory exam history of AQR.

At the in-person meeting held on November 16-17, 2017, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Management Agreement for an additional one-year period for each Fund. In approving the continuation of the Management Agreement for a Fund, the Board considered all factors it believed to be relevant with respect to the Fund, including, among other factors: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser; (b) the investment performance of the Fund and the Adviser’s portfolio management; (c) the management fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by the Adviser from the relationship with the Funds and the Fund complex; (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 Adviser 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.

In considering the renewal of the Management Agreement for each Fund, the Board did not view the Management Agreement as creating third-party beneficiary rights in shareholders to enforce the terms of the Management Agreement against the Adviser.

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

The Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided by the Adviser. The Board Members reviewed the services that the Adviser provides to the Funds under the Management Agreement, including certain administrative services. The Board considered the size and experience of the Adviser’s staff, its use of technology, and the Funds’ stated investment objectives, strategies and processes. The Board reviewed the overall qualifications of the Adviser as an investment adviser. In connection with the investment advisory services provided to the Funds, the Board Members took into account discussions they had with representatives of the Adviser 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, representatives of the Adviser 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, provides oversight of Fund accounting, provides marketing services, provides risk management, provides compliance oversight, 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 under the Management Agreement. The Board Members recognized the enterprise risk involved in providing services to the Funds over time.

Finally, the Independent Board Members had an opportunity to meet outside the presence of Fund management in executive session separately with independent legal counsel to discuss and consider the Management 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 Management Agreement were of a high quality and benefit the Funds.

Investment Performance of the Funds and the Adviser’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 Adviser’s efforts to achieve such goals as well as the performance of the Funds relative to funds identified by Morningstar as their peers.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements

 

The Board was cognizant of the fact that in some cases Fund performance was challenged over certain measurement periods in comparison to Morningstar peers or benchmarks. The Board considered that Morningstar comparisons may be of limited use in some cases due to the differences between the way a Fund is managed from other funds in the Morningstar category and peer group. In other cases, underperformance in relation to Morningstar peers may be due to differences in a Fund’s investment parameters compared to its peer funds, including risk limits, volatility targets, model limits on exposure to a particular country, and the Fund’s investment universe. Finally, the use of drawdown control and internal risk protections may affect a Fund’s performance in relation to its peers or benchmark. The Board also considered the Adviser’s performance in managing other registered investment companies and private funds, noting that other funds the Adviser manages might have investment objectives, policies or restrictions different from those of the Funds. Based on these factors, the Board Members determined that the performance of each Fund is satisfactory in light of its stated objectives and strategies.

The Management Fee and the Cost of the Services and Profits Realized by the Adviser from the Relationship with the Funds. The Board, including the Independent Board Members, received and reviewed information regarding the management fees paid by the Funds to the Adviser pursuant to the 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 provided to the Funds.

To assist in this analysis, the Board received a report independently prepared by Morningstar (the “Morningstar Report”). The Morningstar Report showed comparative fee information for each Fund’s respective Morningstar category, including expense comparisons of contractual investment management fees and actual net expenses. The Board reviewed the proposed 0.05% decrease in the management fee and expense caps for the AQR International Equity Fund. The Board also reviewed information regarding the fees the Adviser charges for other funds and accounts managed by the Adviser, including sub-advised mutual funds, with similar investment strategies to the Funds. The Board noted the greater services provided by the Adviser to the Funds in contrast to the limited role of the Adviser when it sub-advises third party mutual funds.

The Board also received and reviewed information regarding the profitability of the Adviser with respect to Fund-related activities. The Adviser provided the Board Members a detailed description of the methodology and inputs used to determine profitability. The Board recognized that profitability may be affected by numerous factors including, among other things, fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Adviser, the types of funds managed, taxes, expense allocations and business mix.

The Board reviewed the Adviser’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 and discussions of these materials, the Board concluded that the management fees under the Management Agreement are reasonable and the Adviser’s profitability was not excessive.

Economies of Scale. The Adviser provided 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. To show that economies are being shared, the Adviser presented information regarding each Fund’s management fees relative to comparable funds of similar and/or larger sizes, showing that management fees were set at a competitive level. The Board recognized that economies were also being shared through the expense limitation agreements for the Funds. The Board noted that, under the Management Agreement, none of the Funds have breakpoints in their management fees that would allow investors to benefit directly in the form of lower fees as fund assets grew. 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 Adviser’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 Adviser or its affiliates may derive from its relationship with the Funds, both tangible and intangible. The Board also received information regarding the Adviser’s brokerage and soft dollar practices, noting that the Adviser does not presently intend to make use of soft dollars to acquire third-party research. The Board considered that the Adviser 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.

Conclusion. Counsel advised the Board concerning the statutory and regulatory requirements for approval and disclosure of investment management 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 management fee rates under the Management Agreement are reasonable in relation to the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds, as well as the costs incurred and benefits to be gained by the Adviser in providing such services, including the investment advisory and administrative components. The Board also found the investment management fees to be reasonable in comparison to the fees charged by advisers to other comparable funds of similar size. As a result, all of the Board Members, including the Independent Board Members voting separately, approved the continuation of the Management Agreement with respect to each Fund. The Independent Board Members were represented by independent legal counsel who assisted them in their deliberations.
