Dear Shareholder:
Global equity markets had uneven performance in 2010. During the first half of the year, the MSCI World Index (the “Benchmark”) posted a negative return of -9.84%, followed by a rally of +23.96% in the second half of the year. For the year, the Benchmark finished up +11.76%. The year consisted of two major macro-economic themes: continuation of European debt concerns and quantitative easing policies in the US. These themes had opposite effects on the market, leading to its bumpy performance during the year. During this turbulent period, the AQR Global Equity Fund Class N shares (the “Fund”) fared well, outperforming the Benchmark by +2.07%, with a positive return of +13.83% for the year.
The Fund is actively managed, and it seeks to outperform its benchmark in three ways: by selecting stocks within each country and by using futures and forwards contracts to over and under-weight the portfolio’s exposures to each country and to each currency. In the first half of the year, the stock and currency selection strategies contributed to positive performance while the country selection strategy detracted, with the net result of modest underperformance. In the second half of the year all three strategies were positive contributors. Each of these decisions is made independently. Details on each of the strategies are provided below.
Our stock selection strategies performed well in 2010 led by strong performance in the continental European portfolio. Performance in the US and the UK was also positive, while stock selection in Japan detracted slightly for the year. 2010 was a good year for stock selection in Europe as we observed positive performance across nearly all investment themes, especially momentum. Positive performance in momentum also helped offset negative performance in valuation in the US and UK. The Japan strategy struggled early in the year hurt by poor performance of momentum factors, but contributed positively in Q4 with strong performance of the valuation signals.
Approaching the end of 2010, the portfolio was positioned overweight the industrial sector driven by attractive momentum and underweight the information technology sector due to its high valuation level.
Our stock selection strategy remains broadly diversified across over seven hundred names, with any individual position representing a small active weight against the Benchmark. The portfolio as a whole is overweight cheaper stocks with better momentum and earnings quality.
The country selection strategy detracted from performance in 2010, stemming from underperformance of the value-driven positions. Fears of European defaults made this a difficult year for value. We were overweight in the European region vs. underweight in the Asia/Pacific region. The biggest detractors for the year were our value-driven overweights in Italy and Spain, as these countries sold off during the Greek sovereign debt crisis. An underweight in Canada also detracted from performance. Supported by the rally in commodities, the Canadian equity market showed better than average performance. Momentum themes worked well in 2010, helping to offset losses from

value signals. Positive contributors supported by momentum were our overweight in Germany in the second half of the year, an overweight in the Netherlands and an underweight of Australia.
Our country views continue to favor European markets versus markets in the Asia/Pacific and North American regions. This reflects the value-oriented allocation in the country selection model as European markets are generally fair to cheaply valued versus other regions based on our measures. As European markets showed dispersion of returns and fundamental signals, the model adjusted accordingly. We reduced our position in Spain to a relatively small underweight. On the other hand, the model moved from a flat to an overweight position in Germany and increased its overweight in France. Price momentum drove these changes as Spain was among the worst performers in 2010, trailed only by Greece and Ireland. Germany outpaced other markets by more than 10%, while France’s performance was in line with an average global market. Strong relative momentum combined with improving macro indicators propelled these two countries to our top overweight positions by the end of the year. Additionally, the Netherlands remained one of our top three countries displaying an opportune combination of positive valuation and momentum signals. We increased our underweight in Switzerland over the past year as Swiss banks did not cheapen as much as other financials in Europe, making Switzerland more expensive on a relative basis.
The portfolio maintained underweight positions in the Asia/Pacific region. Australia’s underweight is driven by all major factor themes. This underweight benefited the model throughout the year as Australia’s equity market has showed weak relative performance. The model has maintained its value-driven underweight of Hong Kong, while Japan’s underweight has been reduced due to improvement in its price momentum signals.
In the North American region, the model has maintained a moderate underweight of Canada due to poor valuation indicators.
The currency selection strategy was a positive contributor in 2010. Notably, in a year fraught with sovereign credit concerns, carry and interest rate related themes worked well and were the top contributors to outperformance. This is partially explained by additional measures of the quantitative easing policy in the US originally announced in Q3. The accommodating policy of the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) encouraged risk taking, which provided support for carry related themes. As the model favored the high yielding Australian Dollar, the currency strategy benefited from this increase in risk appetite. The currency strategy also benefited from our significant underweight in the Euro, the worst performing currency in 2010. On a thematic level, momentum added to the outperformance, as the Australian Dollar and the Euro continued their appreciation / depreciation trends respectively. Value signals detracted from the performance for these currencies.
In the European region, we continue to dislike the Euro, which has remained our top underweight position throughout the period. The Euro position combines negative views stemming from carry, price and fundamental momentum. While the deterioration in the Euro’s price momentum was offset by improved valuations, its fundamentals worsened when Eurozone earnings were revised downwards. Interest rate predictors provided additional negative signals, as the continuing sovereign debt crisis made it less likely that Eurozone interest rates would increase in the near term. In Q1, the model moved from flat to an overweight position in the Swedish Krona, driven by a combination of fundamental momentum and value. As the year progressed, the Krona became strong on all factor themes, moving to the largest overweight position in the currency model. The Norwegian Krone overweight has remained relatively stable throughout the year, driven by a combination of fundamental momentum and interest rate related indicators. However, the weak price momentum of the Krone continues to moderate our positive view.
In the Asia/Pacific region, we remain overweight the Australian Dollar and underweight the Japanese Yen. The Aussie/Yen yield differential, as well as fundamental and valuation signals, motivates this positioning.

Over the second half of the year, we have assumed a meaningful underweight in the New Zealand Dollar as weak macro-economic conditions in New Zealand reduced the likelihood of future interest rate increases, making the New Zealand Dollar less attractive relative to other currencies.
In the North American region, we significantly reduced our underweight of the Canadian Dollar to a quarter of its size earlier in the year driven by significant improvement from interest rate predictors.

A privately offered fund managed by the Adviser was reorganized into Class Y shares of the Fund on December 31, 2009, the date the Fund commenced operations. This privately offered fund was organized in March 2006 and commenced operations in June 2006 and had an investment objective, investment policies and restrictions that were, in all material respects, the same as those of the Fund. However, the privately offered fund was not registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act. In addition, this privately offered fund was not subject to certain investment limitations, diversification requirements, liquidity requirements, and other restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act and the Internal Revenue Code which, if applicable, might have adversely affected its performance. The Fund’s performance for periods prior to the commencement of operations on or about December 31, 2009 is that of the privately offered fund. The total annual fund operating expenses of the privately offered fund were lower than the Fund’s estimated total annual fund operating expense for Class N, Class I and Class Y shares during the periods presented. The Fund has restated the performance of the privately offered fund to reflect the Fund’s expenses of the Class N, I and Y shares.

Dear Shareholder:
International equity markets had uneven performance in 2010. During the first half of the year, the MSCI EAFE Index (the “Index”) posted a negative return of -13.23%, followed by a rally of +24.18% in the second half of the year. For the year, the index finished up 7.75%. The year was highlighted by two major macro-economic themes: European sovereign debt concerns and quantitative easing in the US. These themes had opposite effects on the market, leading to its bumpy performance during the year. During this period, the AQR International Equity Fund Class N shares (the “Fund”) faired well, outperforming its benchmark index by 2.65%, with a positive return of 10.40% for the year.
The Fund is actively managed, and it seeks to outperform its benchmark in three ways: by selecting stocks within each country and by using futures and forwards contracts to over-and under-weight the portfolio’s exposures to countries and currencies. In the first half of the year, the stock and currency selection strategies contributed to the performance while the country selection strategy detracted, with the net result of modest underperformance. In the second half of the year all three strategies were positive contributors. Details on each of the strategies are provided below.
Our stock selection strategies performed well in 2010 on a benchmark relative basis. The main contributor to the positive performance was the continental European portfolio. Performance in the UK portfolio was also positive, while the Japan strategy was down slightly for the year. This was a good year in Europe as we observed positive performance across nearly all investment themes, especially momentum. In the UK, positive performance in momentum (both within and across industries) offset negative performance in value. The Japan strategy struggled early in the year hurt by poor performance of momentum factors, but contributed positively in Q4 with strong performance of valuation signals.
Approaching the end of 2010, the portfolio was positioned to overweight industrials from attractive momentum, while underweight financials from unfavorable momentum.
Our stock selection strategy remains broadly diversified across over four hundred names, with any individual position representing a small active weight against the benchmark. The portfolio as a whole is overweight cheaper stocks with better momentum and earnings quality.
The country selection strategy was a negative contributor to the performance, stemming from underperformance of value-driven positions. Fears of European defaults made this a difficult year for value, which was overweight the European region vs. underweight the Asia/Pacific region. The biggest detractors for the year were our overweights in Italy and Spain, as these countries sold off during the Greek sovereign debt crisis and amid growing concerns about contagion. An underweight in Sweden was also a detractor as the country significantly outperformed as its macro-economic conditions improved. Momentum themes worked well in 2010, helping offset losses

from value signals. Positive contributors supported by momentum were our overweight in Germany in the second half of the year, an overweight in the Netherlands, and an underweight of Australia.
Our country selection portfolio entered 2010 with an increased weighting towards European markets versus markets in the Asia/Pacific region. This reflects the value-oriented bias in the country selection model as European markets generally were priced fair to cheaply valued relative to markets in the Asia/Pacific region. We maintained this view throughout the year but the positioning within Europe changed materially as the sovereign debt crisis impacted markets differently. Dispersion in performance is reflected in the momentum components of our process. Going into the year we were substantially overweight Spain and Italy based on valuation. Both these positions were reduced over the year on the back of the relative poor performance of these markets. On the other hand, the relative outperformance and better macro economic indicators of Germany and France led us to initiate overweight positions in those countries. The Netherlands remained one of our top positions over the year based on cheap valuation combined with positive momentum signals. Offsetting the overweight positions in Europe is an underweight of Switzerland, which looks unattractive on multiple indicators, as well as a value-driven underweight of Sweden.
The portfolio was underweight equity markets in the Asia-Pacific region throughout the year. Australia’s underweight is driven by all major investment themes in our process. This underweight benefited the model throughout the year as Australia’s equity market has showed weak relative performance. The model has maintained its value-driven underweight of Hong Kong, while Japan’s underweight has been reduced due to improvement in its price momentum signals.
The currency selection strategy was a positive contributor in 2010. Remarkably, in a year fraught with sovereign credit concerns, carry and interest rate related themes performed well and were the top contributors to outperformance. This is partially explained by the additional measures of the quantitative easing policy in the US, which was originally announced in Q3. The accommodating policy of the Fed encouraged risk taking, which provided support for higher yielding currencies. As the model favored the high yielding Australian Dollar, the currency strategy benefited from this increase in risk appetite. The currency strategy also benefited from its significant underweight in the Euro, the worst performing currency in 2010. On a thematic level, momentum added to the outperformance, as the Australian Dollar and the Euro continued their appreciation / depreciation trends respectively. Value detracted from the performance. The Swiss franc was a value-driven underweight that did not perform well, as the franc showed strong performance during the year helped by its safe haven status.
In the European region, our currency views continue to dislike the euro which has remained our top underweight position throughout the period. The strong negative view on the Euro is due to a combination of relatively poor carry, price momentum and fundamental momentum. An additional important consideration is that the continuing sovereign debt crisis makes it less likely that Eurozone interest rates would increase in the near term. The year witnessed meaningful changes in the positioning of the Swiss Franc and the Swedish Krona. The flight to quality caused by the volatile European debt situation led to strong appreciation of the Franc and in the second half of the year, the currency model assumed a significant underweight in the Swiss franc based on valuation. In the first quarter of the year, the model moved from flat to an overweight position in the Swedish Krona, driven by a combination of fundamental momentum and value. As the year progressed, the Krona improved on all factor themes, moving to the largest overweight position in the currency model. The Norwegian Krone overweight has remained relatively stable throughout the year, driven by a combination of fundamental momentum and interest rate related indicators. However, the weak price momentum of the Krone is moderating the positive view.
In the Asia/Pacific region, the model continues to maintain its overweight of the Australian Dollar versus an underweight of the Japanese Yen. The Aussie/Yen yield differential, as well as fundamental and valuation signals, motivates this positioning.

Our optimistic view is driven primarily by the opportunity for the country and currency selection strategies, while the opportunity in the stock selection strategy is about average. In country selection we see relatively extended spreads in valuation between cheap and expensive countries. For currency selection we see an unusually strong level of agreement between the valuation and carry indicators in the model – essentially indicating that we can get exposure to relatively high yielding currencies at unusually reasonable valuations. As always, we seek to maintain a highly diversified portfolio both in terms of individual positions but also in terms of the risk allocation to the three strategies.

Dear Shareholder:
The Diversified Arbitrage Fund returned 4.43% for the Fund’s Class N Shares during the 2010 calendar year. During the corresponding period, the Merrill Lynch 3-Month Treasury-Bill Index (the Fund’s benchmark) returned 0.13% and the S&P 500 returned 15.06%. Based on monthly return data, the Fund’s equity market beta (relative to the S&P 500) since inception (January 15, 2009) through December 31, 2010 is 0.06 and its annualized volatility is 3.3%.
Arbitrage markets were largely stable throughout the year, aside from disruptions in May when economic uncertainty increased commensurate with an increase in European sovereign risk and a worsening outlook for the global economy. Indeed, May was the only month during 2010 in which the Fund had a negative return (-1.37%) as arbitrage spreads temporarily widened.
The Fund invests in multiple arbitrage and alternative-investment strategies, and tactically allocates to various strategies based on relative attractiveness. As displayed in the Table below, strategy weights have varied throughout the past 12 months, though considerably less so than in 2009. The Fund reduced its exposure to convertible arbitrage during the year, bringing the weight in convertible arbitrage close to what we expect to be the long-term average. The Table indicates a substantial drop-off in the allocation to merger arbitrage at year-end, but this decline is largely an artifact of the consummation of mergers prior to year-end. This seasonal effect is not uncommon and is driven by firms’ desires to avoid the administrative burden (e.g. tax filings) of carrying two entities into a new fiscal year. The Fund’s allocation to merger arbitrage is expected to rebound in early 2011 as new mergers are announced. The weight in credit-related trades increased from 1% at the end of 2009 to 15% at the end of the 2010 due to numerous opportunities in short-term corporate credit. Both dual-class arbitrage and closed-end-fund arbitrage saw reductions in strategy weights, a result of declining spreads and discounts. The Table also indicates the addition of PIPEs (Private Investments in Public Entities) in the second half of 2010. PIPEs have many structures, but typically are comprised of an equity-linked security (convertible debenture, convertible preferred, or common stock) and long-lived warrants (up to five years). These deals are usually priced such that the unit (for example, common stock plus warrant) is priced at a discount to the market price of the common stock. A common trade is to purchase the unit, and over time sell the common stock. We generally continue to hold the warrant as it tends to have a substantially higher value than what can be obtained by selling in the open market.

Notwithstanding the reduction in the allocation to the convertible arbitrage strategy, it continues to have the largest strategy weight. As discussed in detail in the 2009 year-end letter, the convertible bond market unraveled during the 2008 financial crisis causing convertible bonds to trade at significant discounts to fundamental values. As financial markets stabilized in 2009, convertible cheapness began to revert to historical levels. By the end of 2010, convertible cheapness was close to its long-term historical average. Because of the convergence of convertible bonds toward fundamental value in 2010, the convertible arbitrage strategy contributed significantly to the Fund’s positive return for the year, accounting for 34% of the total return. In the meantime, we have positioned the convertible portfolio defensively with 95% of the convertible portfolio invested in equity-sensitive convertibles, where the equity short provides a direct hedge to the long convertible bond position. Although we are still exposed to convertible bonds cheapening relative to fundamental values, these losses are generally temporary, and would be at least partially offset by an increase in realized volatility (realized volatility that is higher than expected results in increased profits) that tends to accompany cheapening episodes.1
Merger arbitrage, a well-known arbitrage strategy like convertible arbitrage, involves the purchase of shares of firms that are targets in announced mergers or reorganizations. For a merger where the consideration is the acquirer’s stock, the Fund seeks to hedge market exposure by shorting the stock of the acquiring company in an amount based on the exchange ratio specified in the merger agreement. Conditions for investing in merger arbitrage are especially attractive when deal spreads (the percentage difference between the consideration offered by the acquiring firm and the stock price of the target firm) are wide and when merger activity is robust. As deal flow began to increase during the latter part of 2009, the Fund increased its allocation to merger arbitrage to 34%. The Fund maintained a higher allocation to merger arbitrage in 2010 than in 2009, although as previously discussed, the allocation fell at year-end as a result of numerous deal closings. Merger arbitrage generated 28% of the Fund’s return during 2010 as the strategy benefited from a combination of deal spread tightening, reasonably strong deal flow, a low frequency of deal failures, and frequent increased offers. We anticipate robust deal flow in 2011 in light of increased business confidence and thus expect to maintain substantial exposure to the merger arbitrage strategy.
1 | It is important to note that the Fund’s investment in a convertible bond is based on the cheapness of the bond relative to its fundamental value rather than on a view about the underlying stock price. Specifically, we hedge our long position and attempt to capture the cheapness of the convertible by shorting the stock of the underlying issuer, and by hedging systematic credit and interest rate risk. |

As mentioned above, the Fund increased its exposure to specific short-term (average duration of 12-15 months) corporate debentures during the first half of the year, particularly in May amid heightened economic uncertainty and European sovereign risk. Historically, as we have documented using our proprietary credit database, short-dated corporate debentures, particularly in the high-yield arena, produce excess returns after accounting for systematic credit and interest rate risk. We postulate that the reason for the excess returns is that fixed-income investors often choose to exchange short-term debentures for longer-term debentures in order to generate higher-expected returns associated with bearing greater systematic credit risk. We focus on short-dated debentures issued by companies that have stable near-term cash flow and sufficient assets to retire the debenture at maturity. We view this trade as similar to a long-dated cash merger trade, but one in which the downside is contractually protected by the underlying indenture. This is not to say that the trade is absent risk. However, the systematic component of risk can be minimized due to the short-dated nature of the security. Our analysis using our proprietary database shows that the modest systematic credit and interest rate risk may be hedged at the portfolio level using credit default swaps and Treasury futures. The Fund took advantage of attractive risk-adjusted yields by selectively purchasing several short-dated corporate debentures and contemporaneously hedging credit risk and interest rate risk at the portfolio level. This strategy contributed 14% to the Fund’s return for the year.
The three strategies described above accounted for roughly 76% of the capital allocated to the Fund (based on 2010 year-end allocations), and likewise 76% of the Fund’s return in 2010. Allocations to the other strategies (dual-class arbitrage, price pressure, PIPEs, SPACs, closed-end-fund arbitrage, etc.) were relatively small on an individual basis as they offered fewer investment opportunities. These strategies contributed positively to the Fund’s return, with only one exception as dual-class arbitrage realized a reasonably small loss to the Fund.
Overall, the Fund had a successful second year. It realized a return in line with our long-term expectations, investing opportunities were good, though not great, and given our multi-strategy approach, we were able to reposition the portfolio as opportunities arose. Looking forward to 2011, we anticipate there will be several opportunities to successfully deploy capital. In particular, merger deal flow is strengthening, in light of the increased business confidence, and we are seeing good opportunities to invest in target firms with attractive deal spreads. Likewise, with the economy growing, we anticipate a pick-up in new capital issues which will lead to an increase in opportunities involving price pressure, PIPEs and SPACs. Importantly, irrespective of where the Fund deploys capital in 2011, we will continue to attempt to hedge out systematic equity, credit and interest rate risk, with the intention of out-performing the Treasury Bill benchmark return.

Dear Shareholder:
On January 6, 2011, the Managed Futures Strategy Fund celebrated its one year anniversary. From its inception date of January 6, 2010 through December 31, 2010, the Fund’s Class N shares returned +5.12% and realized an annualized volatility of 8.6%. During this same period, the Merrill Lynch 3-Month Treasury-Bill Index (the Fund’s benchmark) returned 0.13%. The S&P 500 returned 12.89% over this same period. The Fund’s assets grew to $928 MM by the end of December, reflecting strong investor demand for an actively run managed futures fund in the mutual fund space.
The Fund invests both long and short across a portfolio of futures contracts and futures-related instruments, utilizing more than 100 contracts across four major asset classes: commodities, currencies, fixed income, and equity markets. The Fund pursues a trend-following strategy, and as such, it tends to perform well when there are persistent trends in markets and suffers when there is a lack of trends or when trends reverse sharply. In 2010, the Fund realized gains in currency and fixed income markets, benefiting from a number of persistent trends, such as the weakening of the Euro and declines in government bond yields globally. Those gains were partially offset by losses in equity and commodity markets, where a number of positive trends that formed throughout the latter half of 2009 reversed during the first half of 2010.
By design, the Fund tactically changes the amount of risk it takes in pursing trends across the four major asset classes depending on the relative attractiveness of the trend-following opportunities within each asset class. The Fund will invest more in an asset class when there are perceived strong trends across many assets within that particular asset class. The Fund began the year having its largest risk allocation in equities and currencies, and ended the year with its largest risk allocation in equities and commodities.
In addition, the Fund also tactically changes the level of risk it targets depending on the strength and correlation of trends across the four asset classes. The Adviser started 2010 targeting close to 13% annualized volatility (the maximum ex-ante risk the Fund will target), as there were strong and correlated trends in equity and commodity markets following the strong performance of those markets in 2009, but reduced its overall risk target gradually over the first half of 2010 as those trends weakened. As trends picked up again in the second half of 2010 the risk target was increased, ending the year back at its maximum target. Below is a summary of the asset class risk exposures throughout 2010:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Asset Class Exposure (% of Risk Allocation) | | | | | | | |
| | 1/31/2010 | | | 3/31/2010 | | | 6/30/2010 | | | 9/30/2010 | | | 12/31/2010 | |

AQR MANAGED FUTURES STRATEGY FUND | | | | |
Within each of the asset classes, the fund pursues short-term trend strategies, long-term trend strategies and over-extended trend strategies. Overall, short-term trend strategies performed well in 2010, particularly in fixed income and currency markets, where short-term trends continued in the first part of the year. Long-term trend strategies performed even better than short-term trend strategies, contributing positively in every asset class. The over-extended trend strategies detracted from performance over this period, especially in commodities, where the Fund’s long exposures were reduced on long-term overextended trend indicators. This detracted from performance in the second half of the year, as commodities experienced an extended rally.
The Fund gained 4.9% in the fixed income markets in 2010. The majority of the gains were driven by the Fund’s long positions in European and US government bonds and short-term interest rate futures for most of the year, based on both positive short-term trends and long-term trends. Yields on government bonds of most maturities declined over this period as investors turned to safe-haven assets following fears of a European sovereign debt crisis, benefiting the Fund. While this trend reversed toward the end of the year as growth expectations rose, losses were mitigated by overextended trend signals and short term trend signals which quickly reduced positions, leaving the Fund with reduced fixed income exposure at the end of the year.
The Fund lost 0.7% in equities in 2010. The majority of the losses occurred in the second quarter, as strong short and long term trends in both developed and emerging equity markets reversed sharply following fears of a European sovereign debt crisis, as well as a slowdown in global economic growth. However, the longer term trend reasserted itself in the second half of the year as increased growth expectations and the second round of quantitative easing (“QE2”) drove equities higher, offsetting most of the losses from the first half of the year.
The Fund lost 0.6% in commodities over the course of the year. While the Fund benefited from being long copper and agricultural commodities in the 4th quarter when many commodities rose on increased growth prospects, the gains were not sufficient to overcome losses suffered in energies, base metals and agricultural commodities during the 2nd quarter. During the 2nd quarter, positive short and long term trends reversed in the majority of commodity markets following fears of slower global economic growth in both developed and emerging markets.
In currencies, the Fund gained 1.5% in 2010. Much of the gains came as a result of the Fund’s short position in the Euro in the first part of the year, which profited as the Euro fell on Euro-zone worries. The fund also gained from being long the Australian Dollar, which profited as commodity linked currencies strengthened in the 4th quarter.
The Fund’s performance in 2010 highlighted the potential benefits of the Fund’s approach in diversifying across various trend indicators and asset classes. While fixed income and currencies contributed in the first half of the year, commodities and equities contributed in the second half. While overextended trend signals suffered moderate losses, trend signals performed well. We continue to pursue a risk-balanced approach in investing across the major asset classes, and trust that doing so will benefit the Fund in the long-run.

Dear Shareholder:
On December 31, 2010, the AQR Risk Parity Fund completed its first quarter. From its inception date of September 30, 2010 through December 31, 2010, the Fund’s Class N shares returned +3.78% and realized an annualized volatility of 11.75%. During this same period, a 60/40 reference portfolio consisting of 60% S&P 500 Index/40% Barclays US Aggregate Index returned 5.67%. The Fund’s assets grew to $24 MM by the end of December.
The 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. The Fund’s strategic allocation across these markets is determined by a risk parity approach to allocating investments – which spreads capital across the various asset classes to roughly equally balance the risk allocated to them. The balancing of risk allocation across different asset classes can create a portfolio that can potentially perform more consistently across a wider array of economic environments than portfolios which may have risk more concentrated into a specific asset class.
Starting from this strategic risk parity allocation, we then use AQR’s proprietary macroeconomic views to determine actual capital allocations across a broad array of global markets. The actual allocations represent over- and under-weights of the strategy vs. the strategic risk parity allocation. This strategy centers around building a truly diversified and risk targeted portfolio whose allocations reflect AQR’s forecasts of changes in market environments, all in an attempt to deliver higher returns at a risk level similar to that of traditional portfolios.
The Fund will remain long all of the markets in which we invest while maintaining a moderate (under 0.5 on average) beta to the stock market. Our risk parity framework centers around a core risk allocation balanced across the various types of asset classes (equity, fixed income, credit, commodities). From this core starting point, we rely on the proprietary models we use in our hedge funds, which include signals based on carry, momentum, valuation, and other important economic variables, to determine views across the various markets and apply controlled allocations away from risk parity in an attempt to take advantage of opportunities in the various markets.
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. Over the fourth quarter, our signals indicated an attractive environment for equities, credit and commodities, and as a result the strategy was targeting a higher level of volatility (took a more aggressive stance) than normal.
The Fund experienced gains in three out of its four major asset class buckets. Equities contributed +2.1%, the inflation-sensitive assets contributed 2.7%, the credit assets contributed 2.8%, while the nominal interest exposures lost 3.8% over the quarter.

In the equity bucket, the fund was tactically overweight equities in the fourth quarter on both short-term and long-term market trend signals and profited from a strong rally across both developed and emerging equity markets.
In the inflation bucket, the Fund was tactically overweight commodities in the fourth quarter based on strong macroeconomic growth indicators as well as positive market momentum, and profited from a strong rally across all commodity sectors on hopes of stronger economic growth. The Fund’s inflation-linked bond positions ended the quarter relatively flat, as losses in European linkers and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”) were offset by gains in UK linkers.
In the credit bucket, the Fund was tactically overweight high yield credit because of a strong fundamental environment for credit spreads and positive credit market momentum. In addition, the fund was overweight emerging currencies, which appreciated versus developed currencies over the quarter.
In the nominal interest rate bucket, the Fund entered the quarter being overweight bonds on strong momentum coming into the quarter, but reduced its overweight position over the quarter as yields rose and the positive momentum in the market deteriorated following the Fed’s QE2 announcement. In addition, our risk forecasts for bonds increased substantially over the quarter. Part of our risk parity approach to investing involves targeting risk levels. So, when our forecast for risk of a market increases, we generally will lower capital allocation to that market. The combination of a weaker view on fixed income and an increase in forecasted fixed income market risk led us to cut our holdings in bonds by 25% over the quarter.
This has been a good first quarter for the Fund, and we hope to continue to add value to your portfolios going forward.

Dear Shareholder:
Despite a rocky first half of 2010, the equity markets rallied in the second half, as investors put aside European debt troubles and governments around the world continued to bolster the economy. The AQR Momentum Fund finished its first full year beating the equity markets, gaining 18.60%, while the Russell 1000 Index returned 16.10%. The Fund outperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which returned 16.72%.
Most of the outperformance to the Russell 1000 Index was driven by the implied sector over/underweights that result from individual stock positions in the Fund; in other words, the Fund profited by being overweight the sectors that had previously done well and underweight those that had suffered. The Fund was overweight Consumer Discretionary throughout the year, and in the third quarter the overweight swelled to 13%, with 24% of the Fund in Consumer Discretionary names versus 11% in the Russell 1000 Index. Particularly adding to performance were internet retailers that the Fund held such as Amazon.com and Priceline.com, which both saw tremendous gains in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Fund benefitted from underweights in the Healthcare sector and especially in pharmaceutical companies such as Johnson & Johnson and Abbott Labs.
Relative over/underweights within sectors played a smaller role in outperformance. Good stock selection within certain sectors such as Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology were offset by less successful exposures within Financials, particularly in the first quarter, when the Fund failed to capture the upswing of certain beaten-down financials. The Fund’s biggest single contributor to outperformance was Apple, which we were overweight throughout the year. The stock rose 53% in 2010.
The AQR Momentum Fund invests in stocks of large and mid-cap U.S. companies with positive momentum. A stock is considered to have positive momentum if it has performed well in the prior twelve months (excluding the most recent month) relative to other stocks in the Fund’s investment universe, which is comprised of the 1000 largest U.S. companies by market capitalization. The Fund is not actively managed to outperform a growth, value or core benchmark. Rather, it seeks to provide systematic exposure to stocks that share the common characteristic of positive momentum.
Note that the Fund sometimes uses derivatives, such as S&P500 E-Mini futures, to gain market exposure and equitize daily flows. The Fund’s derivatives positions in 2010 detracted about -0.90% over the year, because a larger portion of the Fund was in these positions in mid-May and late June, when markets were falling.
In summary, the AQR Momentum Fund finished its first full year delivering a strong +18.60% return.

AQR SMALL CAP MOMENTUM FUND |

Dear Shareholder:
For US small cap stocks, while the first half of 2010 was as rocky as their large and mid-cap peers, the market rally in the second half of the year was even more pronounced. The Russell 2000 Index gained 26.85% for the year, and the AQR Small Cap Momentum Fund (the “Fund”) finished its first full year beating the market, gaining 27.69%. The Fund underperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which returned 29.09%.
Outperformance relative to the Russell 2000 Index was driven both by implied sector over/underweights as well as relative over/underweights within sectors. The Fund’s overweight of Consumer Discretionary stocks during the first quarter and overweight of Energy stocks during the fourth quarter were especially profitable. In the fourth quarter, oil and gas exploration companies like Rosetta Resource and Clayton Williams were both up more than 60%, and the Fund benefitted from being overweight these names.
Relative over/underweights within sectors were also a positive contributor to outperformance. Stock selection within the Industrials sector was noteworthy, as the Fund was overweight big winners like Polypore International and underweight losing stocks like American Semiconductor.
The AQR Small Cap Momentum Fund invests in stocks of small-cap U.S. companies with positive momentum. A stock is considered to have positive momentum if it has performed well in the prior twelve months (excluding the most recent month) relative to other stocks in the investment universe, which is comprised of U.S. companies smaller than the 1000th largest and larger than the 3000th smallest company by market capitalization. The Fund is not actively managed to outperform a growth, value or core benchmark. Rather, it seeks to provide systematic exposure to stocks that share the common characteristic of positive momentum.
Note that the Fund sometimes uses derivatives, such as Russell 2000 E-Mini futures, to gain market exposure and equitize daily flows. The Fund’s derivatives positions in 2010 contributed about +0.88% to performance over the year, because it had larger positions on when the markets were rising in early December.
In summary, the AQR Small Cap Momentum Fund finished its first full year delivering a strong +27.69% return.

Dear Shareholder:
While global markets were up overall in 2010, performance was less stellar than the US market, having fared worse in the first half of the year. European countries most affected by the debt crisis suffered more than others. The AQR International Momentum Fund (the “Fund”) finished its first full year beating the global equity markets, returning 14.11% while the MSCI World ex-USA Index gained a modest 8.95%. The Fund outperformed the MSCI World ex-USA Growth Index, which returned 13.06%.
The Fund outperformed the broader MSCI World ex-USA Index, driven in large part by stock selection in the Energy Sector, meaning that within this sector, stocks with good momentum tended to outperform their peers. The largest contributors to outperformance were Royal Dutch Shell, in which the Fund had roughly a 2% overweight during the second half of the year, and BP, in which the Fund had about a -1.3% underweight throughout the year. BP finished down almost -23% on the year in the wake of its oil spill, while Royal Dutch was up 24%, mostly after surprisingly good earnings announcements in the fourth quarter.
To a lesser extent, the Fund also benefitted from good sector and country selection. A sector overweight in Materials contributed positively as the fund was heavily invested in global mining companies such as Rio Tinto and Xstrata, both having outperformed the rest of the market in 2010. The Fund was actually quite well-positioned for the European debt problems during the year, maintaining an overweight in safer countries such as Sweden while underweighting Spain and Greece. Its country over/underweights within Europe contributed positively to outperformance versus the MSCI World ex-USA Index in 2010.
The AQR International Momentum Fund invests in stocks of large and mid-cap non-U.S. companies with positive momentum. A stock is considered to have positive momentum if it has performed well in the prior twelve months (excluding the most recent month) relative to other stocks in the investment universe, which is comprised of approximately the top 85% of stocks by market capitalization of each of the 20 major developed markets outside the U.S. The Fund is not actively managed to outperform a growth, value or core benchmark. Rather, it seeks to provide systematic exposure to stocks that share the common characteristic of positive momentum.
Note that the Fund sometimes uses derivatives to implement its strategy. In particular, the Fund will sometimes trade swaps in UK securities to minimize certain trading costs. Its derivatives positions in 2010 contributed about +2.00% to performance over the year, consistent with UK equity markets in general being up for the year.
In summary, the AQR International Momentum Fund finished its first full year delivering a strong +14.11% return.

The recent growth rate in the stock market has helped to produce short-term returns for some asset classes that are not typical and may not continue in the future. Because of ongoing market volatility, fund performance may be subject to substantial short-term changes.

PRINCIPAL RISKS:
AQR Global Equity Fund and AQR International Equity Fund: The AQR Global Equity Fund and the AQR International Equity Fund use derivatives to manage their country and currency exposures. The use of derivatives 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. Foreign investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuations and political uncertainty. The Funds are not suitable for all investors.
AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund: As the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund (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. Short sales also involve transaction and other costs that will reduce potential Fund gains and increase potential Fund losses. The Fund uses derivatives to hedge certain economic exposures. The use of derivatives 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. This Fund is not suitable for all investors.
AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund: The use of derivatives, forward and futures contracts, and commodities 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. Concentration generally will lead to greater price volatility. The 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. Short sales also involve transaction and other costs that will reduce potential Fund gains and increase potential Fund losses. This Fund is not suitable for all investors.
AQR Risk Parity Fund: Foreign investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuations and political uncertainty. The use of derivatives, forward and futures contracts, and commodities 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. 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. Short sales also involve transaction and other costs that will reduce potential Fund gains and increase potential Fund losses. When investing in bonds, yield and share price will vary with changes in interest rates and market conditions. Investors should note that if interest rates rise significantly from current levels, bond total returns will decline and may even turn negative in the short term. There is also a chance that some of the Fund’s holdings may have their credit rating downgraded or may default. Actual or realized volatility can and will differ from the forecasted or target volatility. This Fund is not suitable for all investors.
AQR Momentum Fund: Securities with positive momentum generally will be more volatile than a broad crosssection of securities. In addition, there may be periods when the momentum style is out of favor, and during which the investment performance of a Fund, which uses a momentum strategy, generally will suffer. This Fund is not suitable for all investors.
AQR Small Cap Momentum Fund: Securities with positive momentum generally will be more volatile than a broad crosssection of securities. In addition, there may be periods when the momentum style is out of favor, and during which the investment performance of a Fund, which uses a momentum strategy, generally will suffer. Derivatives are generally more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. The use of derivatives 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. Funds that emphasize investments in smaller companies generally will experience greater price volatility. This Fund is not suitable for all investors.

An investment in any of the AQR Funds (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. Please refer to the prospectus for complete information regarding all risks associated with the Funds.
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 Funds 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.

Valuation: A process of determining the current worth of an asset or company.
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.

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 management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities 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.
Securities Valuation: Each Fund’s portfolio securities are valued as of the close of business of the regular session of trading on the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). Equity securities, including securities sold short, are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades. In accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, the Funds apply fair value pricing to international securities on a daily basis utilizing the quotations of an independent pricing service, unless the Adviser 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
| | | | | | | | | | |
AQR Funds | | | | Annual Report | | | | December 2010 | | 110 |
| | | | | | |
| | | | |
Notes to Financial Statements | | | December 31, 2010 | |
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 using valuations based on a matrix system (which considers such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings), both as furnished by independent pricing services. 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. Futures and options 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. Prices of futures contracts are monitored until 4:00 p.m. to determine if fair valuation would provide a more accurate valuation. 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. Equity, total return and commodity swap contracts are valued at fair value, based on the price of the underlying referenced instrument. Credit default swaps are valued daily primarily using independent pricing services or market makers. Interest rate swap contracts are valued at fair value as determined by an independent pricing service based on various valuation models which consider the terms of underlying contracts and market data inputs received from third parties.
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 be reliable, 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. 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.
Convertible Securities: The 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. Traditionally, convertible securities have paid dividends or interest greater than on the related common stocks, but less than fixed income non-convertible securities. 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 certain of their investments in convertible debt securities by selling short the issuer’s common stock.
Short Sales: The AQR Diversified Arbitrage 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 (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 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 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities and securities segregated as collateral are denoted in the Schedule of Investments. The Fund 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 of $4,056,594 are included in interest income in the Statements of Operations.
Futures Contracts: Each Fund may invest in futures contracts (“futures”). Each Fund, excluding AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund and AQR Risk Parity Fund, may invest in futures in order to hedge its investments or equitize its cash

flows against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates or market conditions. The AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund and AQR Risk Parity Fund may invest in futures as part of its primary investment strategy. Investments in futures may increase exposure to a particular market. No monies are paid 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, called variation margin, to and from the broker, will be made on a daily basis as the price of the underlying instruments fluctuates, making the long and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable, a process known as ‘marking-to-the-market.’ Once a final determination of variation margin is made, additional cash is required to be paid by or released to a Fund, and a Fund will realize a loss or gain. The use of long futures contracts subject the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional 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 Currency Contracts: The Funds may buy and sell forward currency 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 its 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 currency 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 gain or loss. When the contract is closed, the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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. Forward currency contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Equity (including total return and commodity) Swap Contracts: The Funds invest in equity swaps to obtain exposure to the underlying referenced instrument, obtain leverage or enjoy the returns from ownership without actually owning the underlying position. Equity 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, basket of securities, security index or index component during the period of the swap. Equity swap contracts are marked to market daily based on the value of the underlying security and the change, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Equity swaps normally do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets. If the other party to an equity 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. Equity swaps are derivatives and their value can be very volatile. To the extent that the Adviser or Sub-Adviser, as applicable, do 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Periodic payments received or paid by the Funds are recorded as realized gains or losses. Equity swap contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Credit Default Swap Contracts: The Funds may 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. An upfront payment received by a Fund, as the protection seller, is recorded as a liability on the Fund’s books. An upfront payment made by a Fund, as the protection buyer, is recorded as an asset on the Fund’s books. Periodic payments received or paid by a Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses. 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 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 upfront payment, is recorded as a realized gain or loss.

AQR Funds | | | | Annual Report | | | | December 2010 | | 112 |
| | | | | | |
| | | | |
Notes to Financial Statements | | | December 31, 2010 | |
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. 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 Funds’ 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 each Funds’ Schedule of Investments.
The credit default swaps in which the AQR Risk Parity Fund is providing protection at December 31, 2010 are summarized as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | MAXIMUM PAYOUT/NOTIONAL AMOUNT BY PERIOD OF EXPIRATION ($ IN THOUSANDS) | | | | |
CREDIT SPREAD ON UNDERLYING (BASIS POINTS) | | 0-5 YEARS USD | | | 0-5 YEARS EUR | | | 35-40 YEARS USD | | | WRITTEN CREDIT DERIVATIVES AT FAIR VALUE | |
0-250 | | | 7,150 | | | | 2,350 | | | | 175 | | | $ | 243,847 | |
251-500 | | | 5,225 | | | | 1,400 | | | | — | | | | 165,702 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total | | | 12,375 | | | | 3,750 | | | | 175 | | | $ | 409,549 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
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 upfront payments made to enter into the contract. Therefore, higher spreads would indicate a greater likelihood that a seller will be obligated to perform (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: The AQR Risk Parity Fund may 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. Periodic payments received or paid by the Fund are recorded as realized gains and losses. 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 each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
High Yield Securities: Certain Funds may 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. These instruments involve a greater risk of default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors’ claims.
Master Agreements: The 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 and foreign exchange contracts entered into from time to time. The Master Agreements may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the Master Agreements, collateral posted to a Fund is held in a segregated account by the Fund’s custodian and with respect to those amounts

AQR Funds | | | | Annual Report | | | | December 2010 | | 113 |
| | | | | | |
| | | | |

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 or debt securities issued by the U.S. Government or related agencies or other securities as agreed to by the Fund and the applicable counterparty. Collateral requirements are determined based on the Fund’s net position with each counterparty. 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. The Funds’ derivative assets and liabilities on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are presented net when a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists between the Funds and a derivative counterparty.
Options: The Funds are authorized to write and purchase put and call options. 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 (or a Fund enters into a closing transaction), the Fund realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium 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 options written during the period ended December 31, 2010 for the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund, were as follows:

Securities Lending: The Trust (excluding the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund, AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund, and AQR Risk Parity Fund) may lend securities to brokers approved by the Adviser in order to generate additional income. Securities loaned are collateralized by cash, which is invested in Capital Shares of the JPMorgan Prime Money Market Fund. 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 (“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 Income from securities lending (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 decline below the
| | | | | | | | | | |
AQR Funds | | | | Annual Report | | | | December 2010 | | 114 |
| | | | | | |
| | | | |
Notes to Financial Statements | | | December 31, 2010 | |
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.
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 (“the Code”), as amended. 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.
Management 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 not 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 period from commencement of operations through December 31, 2010 are open for examination. As of December 31, 2010, 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.
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 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.
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 series, such as advisory fees and registration costs.
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 its 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, 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: Costs incurred by the AQR Global Equity Fund, AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund, and AQR Risk Parity Fund in connection with the organization of the Funds, professional fees, printing fees and the offering of the initial registration were $24,804, $80,500 and $21,302, respectively. All costs were expensed as incurred.
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.

Notes to Financial Statements | | | December 31, 2010 | |
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, 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents includes US dollar and foreign currency 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’ primer brokers and counterparties. The Funds are subject to credit risk should the primer brokers and counterparties be unable to meet their obligations to the Funds.
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.
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.
4. Federal Income Tax Matters
At December 31, 2010, the cost of long security positions and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to tax deferral losses on wash sales and other book and tax differences including passive foreign investment companies (“PFIC”), forward foreign currency contracts, swap contracts, and foreign income from wholly owned controlled foreign corporations.
At December 31, 2010, the effect of permanent book/tax reclassifications resulted in increase (decrease) to the components of net assets as follows:

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 net operating losses, swap contracts, distribution reclassifications, foreign currency reclassifications, sale of Real Estate Investment Trusts and PFIC’s. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

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 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 Fund to measure fair value during the year ended December 31, 2010 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following are certain inputs and techniques that the Fund uses to evaluate how to classify each major category of assets and liabilities for Level 2 and Level 3, in accordance with GAAP.
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 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 from counterparties and other market participants, as well as pricing models using quoted inputs as provided by an independent pricing service. As Level 2 investments include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations

AQR Funds | | | | Annual Report | | | | December 2010 | | 118 |
| | | | | | |
| | | | |
Notes to Financial Statements | | | December 31, 2010 | |
may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information. Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently or not at all. Level 3 instruments include less liquid corporate debt securities, illiquid warrants and 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 Funds 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 forwards, credit default swaps, total return swaps, and interest rate swaps, are valued by the Fund using observable inputs, such as quotations received from the counterparty, dealers or 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. Equity total return swap transactions are valued at fair value, based on the price of the underlying security. Interest rate swap contracts are valued at estimated fair value as determined by the Fund based on various valuation models which consider the terms of underlying contracts and market data inputs received from third parties.
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 its ongoing process of assessing payment and performance risk. As payment and performance risk increases, the value of a credit default swap 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 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.
Transfers
Transfers into, and out of, Level 3 are valued utilizing values as of the begining 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.

9. Distribution and Service Plans
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.
Pursuant to the Shareholder Services Agreement, between the Trust (excluding the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund, AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund and AQR Risk Parity Fund) and the Adviser, the Adviser receives an annual fee (the “Shareholder Services Fee”), payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.30%, 0.35%, and 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Class I, Class N and Class L shares, respectively. The Adviser also provides a wide range of services to the Funds and their shareholders under a separate Shareholder Services Agreement. These services include, among others, access to performance information reporting, analysis and explanations of Fund reports as well as electronic access to Fund information. In addition, the Adviser may, from time to time, compensate third parties (including financial intermediaries) from the fees the Adviser 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 period ended December 31, 2010, were as follows:
For the period January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010, the Class Y shares of the Funds charged a 0.25% Shareholder Service Fee. Effective July 1, 2010, the Board of Trustees approved the elimination of this fee.

10. Purchases and Redemption of Shares
Investors may purchase shares of a Fund at their net asset value (“NAV”), based on the next calculation of the NAV after the order is placed. Neither the Fund nor the distributor charges a sales charge or other transaction fee to purchase shares, although other institutions may impose transaction fees on shares purchased through them.
Redemption requests will be processed at the next NAV calculated after a redemption request is accepted. The Funds (excluding AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund) reserve the right to charge a redemption fee of 1% (2% in the case of AQR Global Equity Fund, AQR International Equity Fund and AQR International Momentum Fund), of redemption proceeds on Class I, Class N and Class L shares held for 60 days or less. The Funds charge this fee in order to discourage short-term investors. The Funds retain this fee for the benefit of the remaining shareholders. The AQR Global Equity and AQR International Equity Funds’ Class Y shares charge subscription and redemption fees of 0.10% each, regardless of the period such shares may have been held.
11. In-Kind Transactions
On December 31, 2009, the AQR Global Equity Fund acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of three privately offered funds (“Private Funds”) managed by the Adviser in exchange for Class Y shares of the Fund. This transaction was structured to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Code. The investment portfolios of the Private Funds, with a fair value of $369,372,153 and identified cost of $335,420,940 as of the date of the reorganization, was the principal asset acquired by the Fund. For financial statement purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value, and the Fund recorded the cost of such investments at their historical cost as recorded by the Private Funds. The cost basis of the investments received from the Private Funds was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable for tax purposes. The net assets of the Private Funds at the date of acquisition were $370,340,997, including unrealized appreciation of $33,351,345. The net assets of the AQR Global Equity Fund immediately after the reorganization was $370,340,997. The Fund had no net assets or liabilities prior to the reorganization.
On August 28, 2009, the AQR International Equity Fund acquired all of the assets and liabilities of a privately offered fund managed by the Adviser in exchange for Class Y shares of the Fund. This transaction was structured to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Code. The investment portfolio of the privately offered fund, with a fair value of $273,684,897 and identified cost of $238,063,341 as of the date of the reorganization, was the principal asset acquired by the Fund. For financial statement purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value, and the Fund recorded the cost of such investments at their historical cost as recorded by the privately offered fund. The cost basis of the investments received from the privately offered fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable for tax purposes. The net assets of the private fund at the date of acquisition were $316,649,562, including unrealized appreciation of $37,442,098. The net assets of the Fund immediately after the reorganization were $316,649,562. The Fund had no net assets or liabilities prior to the reorganization.
12. Risks and Concentrations
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.

AQR Funds | | | | Annual Report | | | | December 2010 | | 131 |
| | | | | | |
| | | | |
Notes to Financial Statements | | | December 31, 2010 | |
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 US 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 Liabilities. The notional amounts, which are disclosed as of period end in the swap tables included in the Schedules of Portfolio Investments, reflect the current investment exposure each Fund has under the swap agreement which may exceed the net asset value of the Fund.
As of December 31, 2010, a substantial portion of the AQR Global Equity, AQR International Equity and AQR International Momentum Funds’ net assets consisted of issuers that are denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of and investment income from such securities.
As of December 31, 2010, the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund pledged a substantial portion of its assets for securities sold short to JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A.
13. Line of Credit
The Trust (excluding the AQR Managed Futures Strategy and AQR Risk Parity Funds) has secured an uncommitted, $150,000,000 line of credit with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Borrowings, if any, under this arrangement bear interest at the Fed Funds Rate plus the sum of (a) 1.5% per annum plus (b) if the LIBOR Reference Rate exceeds the Federal Funds Rate, the amount of such excess, which shall be paid quarterly. The maximum loan amount outstanding per Fund, will be the lesser of an amount which does not exceed the borrowing limits set forth in the Fund’s Prospectus and/or Registration Statement and does not cause the Asset Coverage Ratio for all borrowings to drop below 500%. The agreement is subject to an annual commitment fee which is payable in arrears on a quarterly basis. This line of credit expires on September 16, 2011. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Funds did not have any outstanding borrowings under this agreement.
14. Principal Ownership
As of December 31, 2010, the Funds had individual shareholder accounts, owning more than 5% of the total shares outstanding of the Fund. The AQR Global Equity Fund has 2 shareholders that have a combined interest of the Fund of 73%. The AQR International Equity Fund has 4 shareholders that have a combined interest of the Fund of 69%. The AQR Risk Parity Fund is 35% owned by the Adviser and its affiliates.
15. New Accounting Pronouncement
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an update to improve disclosure about fair value measurements. This update requires entities to disclose a) the amounts of significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for these transfers, b) the reasons for any transfers in or out of Level 3 and c) information in the reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis. In addition, this update clarifies the requirements for entities to disclose information about both the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. The requirement to disclose information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010.
16. 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 that would require disclosure.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations, of cash flows and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AQR Global Equity Fund, AQR International Equity Fund, AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund, AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund, AQR Risk Parity Fund, AQR Momentum Fund, AQR Small Cap Momentum Fund, and AQR International Momentum Fund (eight of the portfolios constituting AQR Funds, hereinafter referred to as the “Funds”) at December 31, 2010, and the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets, the cash flows of AQR Diversified Arbitrage 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, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Fund Expense Examples (Unaudited)
December 31, 2010
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 Ended 12/31/10” 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 Management Agreement (Unaudited) |
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 June 9-10, 2010 to consider the approval of the investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of the AQR Risk Parity Fund (the “Fund”), and AQR Capital Management, LLC (“AQR” of the “Adviser”). In accordance with Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. as amended (the “1940 Act”), the Board requested, reviewed, and considered materials furnished by AQR relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the Management Agreement. These materials included (a) memoranda and materials prepared by AQR, describing personnel and services to be provided to the Fund; (b) performance information for strategies and model portfolios relevant to consideration of the Management Agreement; (c) information independently compiled and prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) relating to the proposed Fund fees and expenses; (d) a discussion of AQR’s financial statements; and (e) a discussion of the AQR compliance program and its regulatory exam histories.
At the in-person meeting held on June 9-10, 2010, the Board, including the Board Members who are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Board Members”), unanimously approved the Management Agreement for an initial two-year term. The Board considered all factors it believed relevant with respect to the Fund, including, among other factors: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by AQR; (b) the investment performance of AQR portfolio management; (c) the advisory fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by AQR from the relationship with the Fund; (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 Fund portfolio holdings, direct and indirect benefits to AQR and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund 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 weights 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 Management Agreement:
The nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by AQR. The Board Members reviewed the services that AQR would provide to the Fund under the Management Agreement. The Board considered the size and experience of AQR’s staff. Its use of technology, and the Fund’s investment objective, strategy and process. The Board reviewed the overall qualifications of AQR as an investment adviser. In connection with the investment advisory services to be provided to the Fund, the Board Members took into account detailed discussions they had with officers of AQR 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 detailed questions of, and received answers from, the officers of AQR regarding the formulation and proposed implementation of the Fund’s investment strategy its efficacy and potential risks. The Board considered information about how portfolio managers are compensated by AQR.
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, assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund. In particular, the Board of Trustees reviewed the compliance 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 counsel to discuss and consider the Management Agreement. Based on the presentations at the June 9-10, 2010 Board meeting, the Board of Trustees concluded that the services to be provided to the Fund by AQR pursuant to the Management Agreement were likely to be of a high quality and would benefit the Fund.
Investment Performance of AQR 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 AQR’s performance primarily on the experience of AQR in managing other registered investment companies and private funds, noting that other funds AQR manages might have investment objectives, policies or restrictions different from those of the Fund. The Board reviewed performance information for strategies and model portfolios similar to that of the Fund. The Board also considered the experience, resources and strengths of AQR and its affiliates with respect to the investment strategies proposed for the Fund. Based on these factors, the Board Members determined that AQR would be an appropriate investment adviser for the Fund.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) |
The Management Fee and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by AQR 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 AQR 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 to be provided to the Fund.
To assist in this analysis, the Board received a report independently prepared by Lipper. The report showed comparative fee information for the Fund’s expense group and expense universe, including expense comparisons of contractual management fees and actual total operating expenses. The Board was advised that the advisory fees will be below the median of comparable funds. The Board noted that breakpoints are part of the Fund’s proposed advisory fee rate and that the proposed advisory fee rate would decrease as the Fund increases in size.
The Board also received and reviewed information regarding the profitability of the Adviser with respect to Fund-related activities. The Board also took into consideration the Adviser’s profits from the management of other private accounts. The Board reviewed the Adviser’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 Adviser, the types of funds managed, expense allocations and business mix, and therefore comparability of profitability is somewhat limited.
The Board reviewed the Adviser’s unaudited financial statements. 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 management fee is reasonable.
Economies of Scale. Because the Fund is newly formed and had not commenced operations as of June 9-10, 2010, and the eventual aggregate amount of Fund assets was uncertain, AQR 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 Board noted that the Fund does have breakpoints in its management fee that would allow investors to benefit directly in the form of lower fees as fund assets grow. The Board also 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 improve 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 Fund, both tangible and intangible. The Board also received information regarding the Adviser’s brokerage and soft dollar practices. 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 firms various advisory clients. The Board noted that the Adviser 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 proposed advisory fee rate and projected total expense ratio are reasonable in relation to the services to be provided by AQR to the Fund, as well as the costs to be incurred and benefits to be gained by AQR 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 Management Agreement. The Independent Board Members were represented by counsel who assisted them in their deliberations.
