You may obtain copies of a Fund’s Summary Prospectuses, Prospectuses and Statement of Additional Information free of charge, upon request, by calling (866) 290-2688, or by writing to AQR Funds, P.O.

The Board of Trustees of AQR Funds (the “Trust”) has approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with respect to each Fund, pursuant to which each Fund (each, a “Target Fund”) will reorganize into another existing AQR mutual fund (each, an “Acquiring Fund”). Each proposed transaction is referred to as a “Reorganization” and the proposed transactions are referred to collectively as the “Reorganizations.” The Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund for each Reorganization are shown in the table below.

*

Effective upon the closing of this Reorganization, the name of the “AQR TM Emerging Multi-Style Fund” will be changed to “AQR Emerging Multi-Style II Fund.”

The Reorganizations do not require approval by shareholders of the Target Funds, and such shareholders are not being asked to vote on the Reorganizations. In each Reorganization, substantially all of a Target Fund’s assets will be transferred to its respective Acquiring Fund in exchange for the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of certain stated liabilities of the respective Target Fund and shares of the respective Acquiring Fund. If a Reorganization is completed, then shareholders of the applicable Target Fund will receive the same class of

 

1


shares of the respective Acquiring Fund with the same aggregate net asset value as the Target Fund shares that such shareholders hold immediately prior to the Reorganization. Each Reorganization is expected to close during the first calendar quarter of 2021.

Each Acquiring Fund invests in the same investment universe of stocks (e.g., large cap, small cap, international or emerging) as its Target Fund. Following its Reorganization, each Acquiring Fund will have the flexibility to implement tax-sensitive investment strategies, but it may not do so at all times. Total annual Fund operating expenses (both before and after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements) of each class of shares of each Fund and contractual management fees of each Fund are expected to either remain the same or decrease as a result of its Reorganization. Each Fund will pay for a portion of the costs of its Reorganization since its Reorganization is expected to benefit the Fund.

Shareholders of the Target Funds will be sent a combined information statement/prospectus in January 2021 containing important additional information about the Reorganizations.

Until its Reorganization is completed, each Target Fund will continue sales and redemptions of its shares as described in its Prospectuses. Each Reorganization may be terminated or abandoned at any time before its closing by action of the Board of Trustees of the Trust.
