Dear Shareholder:
Global equity markets experienced significant headwinds in 2011, particularly during the second half of the year. During the first half of the year, the MSCI World Index (the “Index”) posted a positive return of +5.29%, but this was followed by a sharp decline of -10.29% in the second half of the year. For the full year, the index finished down -5.54%. In particular the third quarter was challenging for markets as we faced not only the resurgence of the European sovereign debt crisis, a crisis surrounding the United States debt ceiling, and the downgrade of the country’s long term credit by Standard and Poor’s, but also a rapidly deteriorating world economic outlook. Not surprisingly, these events were followed by a spike in risk-aversion and a significant deterioration in market sentiment. Towards the end of the year, however, equity markets rebounded after a series of surprisingly strong economic data releases in the US, changing governments in a number of European countries, and a coordinated effort by central banks, particularly the European Central Bank (“ECB”), to support the viability of the financial system. During this period, the AQR Global Equity Fund Class I shares (the “Fund”) returned -6.68% for the year, underperforming its benchmark index by -1.14%.
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 countries and currencies relative to the benchmark. Details on each of the strategies are provided below.
The stock selection strategies had a good year driven by positive performance in the US, continental Europe and Japan. The UK strategy detracted while the Canada strategy was flat for the period. The US strategy performed well in 2011 driven by the momentum, valuation and industry valuation signals, outweighing detraction from industry momentum factors. In continental Europe outperformance came from the positive performance in momentum oriented investment themes, both within and across industries, outweighing negative performance in valuation signals. The positive performance in Japan was mainly driven by valuation and industry valuation signals. The negative performance in the UK was due to valuation and earnings quality signals, outweighing positive performance of momentum factors.
Tactically, we now are underweight value in continental Europe and Japan, while being overweight value in the UK and the US.
The country selection strategy contributed positively to fund performance in 2011. Both value and fundamental momentum added, while price momentum detracted. The high volatility in equity markets was challenging for price momentum, but moves in exchange rates and trade based indicators performed well during 2011. Overall, value performed well in the first half of the year, while momentum based signals contributed in the second half. The third quarter was the only down quarter in the year.
The portfolio’s gains were concentrated in our overweights of the UK and US equity markets. The UK overweight, which was motivated by strong price momentum and

attractive valuation, outperformed as the UK equity market proved relatively immune to the eurozone financial and sovereign debt problems. Gains to the US overweight occurred mainly during the third quarter, when US markets held up relatively well in a de-risking environment marked by a global economic slowdown and an escalating crisis in Europe. Germany and France were also positive contributors, primarily because of outperformance during the first half of the year. By contrast, an overweight in Italy detracted from performance as its equity market was hit by a worsening economic outlook and concerns about the country’s ability to finance its national debt. Our positioning in Japan, where we were underweight during the first half of the year, and overweight during the second half, also contributed negatively. Japanese equities rallied early in the year due to positive earnings announcements, but declined during the second half as exporting firms were hurt by an appreciating Japanese Yen.
The UK remains the top overweight position in the portfolio as strong price momentum more than offsets the decline in economic fundamentals and worsening valuation we have seen in recent months. France is now the second-largest overweight based on a combination of attractive value and an improving sentiment view. Improving sentiment is driven by companies in the CAC 40 index experiencing lower deterioration in earnings expectations than companies in other European indices. Meanwhile, Australia continues to be our largest underweight due to expensive valuations and deteriorating fundamentals. The US and Japan are additional underweights. The US positioning is motivated by expensive valuations, while Japanese positioning is driven principally by negative price momentum and a strengthening currency.
We continue to favor European equity markets. Over the recent quarter, our overweight in eurozone countries has moderately increased as we continue to see attractive value opportunities in the region. Valuation spreads across developed equity markets widened over the course of the year, particularly during the third quarter. This widening was caused by a flight to quality associated with de-risking moves, which favored expensive equity markets and hurt cheap ones, especially those in Europe.
The currency selection strategy detracted significantly from fund performance in 2011, as interest rate and price momentum related factors underperformed. Fluctuations in sentiment created risk-on and risk-off moves that prevented clear trends from emerging in currency markets, making momentum trading very challenging. Heightened volatility associated with these moves also created an unfavorable environment for carry trades. In addition, the sharp changes in monetary policy over the year proved a challenging environment for our attempts to predict the direction of interest rates. An example of this is the interest rate increases by the ECB mid-year that were later reversed. Valuation themes had relatively flat performance over the course of the year as we saw mixed performance from our different indicators. Losses were concentrated in the second and third quarters, while we saw some positive contributions at the start and at the end of the year.
Our least successful positions were our underweights in the over-valued Japanese yen and Swiss franc. Both of these low yielding currencies appreciated significantly during the first three quarters of 2011, as investors sought a safe haven from the ongoing European sovereign credit crisis. In response to this move, the Swiss National Bank intervened meaningfully in the currency markets in early September to devalue the currency and effectively cap its exchange rate versus the euro. This caused a reversal in the franc appreciation trend, and resulted in some gains to our short position during the fourth quarter. Similar attempts to intervene by the Bank of Japan proved less successful however, and the yen continued to outperform into the end of the year. One currency that contributed positively throughout the year was the U.S. dollar, which benefited on both an underweight position during the first half, and an overweight during the second half.
Going forward, we see attractive opportunities in the British pound and U.S. dollar, where cheap valuation is coupled with improving fundamentals. We also favor the Scandinavian currencies, which offer high and

improving levels of carry. Conversely, we continue to hold a large underweight in the euro, where the ongoing sovereign credit crisis has driven weakening economic fundamentals, poor price momentum and forced the ECB to lower interest rates. Additionally, we continue to view the Japanese yen and Swiss franc as expensive at current levels, and maintain our underweights in these two currencies.

Dear Shareholder:
International equity markets experienced significant headwinds in 2011, particularly during the second half of the year. During the first half of the year, the MSCI EAFE Index (the “Index”) posted a positive return of +4.98%, but this was followed by a sharp decline of -16.31% in the second half of the year. For the full year, the index finished down -12.14%. In particular the third quarter was challenging for markets as we faced not only the resurgence of the European sovereign debt crisis, a crisis surrounding the United States debt ceiling, and the downgrade of the country’s long term credit by Standard and Poor’s, but also a rapidly deteriorating world economic outlook. Not surprisingly, these events were followed by a spike in risk-aversion and a significant deterioration in market sentiment. Towards the end of the year, however, equity markets rebounded after a series of surprisingly strong economic data releases in the US, changing governments in a number of European countries, and a coordinated effort by central banks, particularly the ECB, to support the viability of the financial system. During this period, the AQR International Equity Fund Class I shares (the “Fund”) returned -15.00% for the year, underperforming its benchmark index by -2.86%.
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 countries and currencies relative to the benchmark. Details on each of the strategies are provided below.
The stock selection strategies had a good year driven by positive performance in continental Europe and Japan, while the UK strategy detracted. In continental Europe, outperformance came from positive performance in momentum oriented investment themes, both within and across industries, outweighing negative performance in valuation signals. The positive performance in Japan was driven mainly by valuation and industry valuation factors, outweighing negative performance in our management signaling theme. The negative performance in the UK was due to valuation signals, both within and across industries, while momentum worked well also both within and across industries.
Tactically, we now are underweight value in continental Europe and Japan, and overweight value in the UK.
The country selection strategy contributed positively to fund performance in 2011 driven by strong performance of valuation signals during the first half of the year in particular. Momentum had a negative contribution as volatile equity markets resulted in losses to our price based signals, though we saw some gains to our fundamental momentum signals based on exchange rates and trade. The third quarter was the only down quarter in the year.
The portfolio’s gains were concentrated in our overweight of the UK equity market, which was motivated by strong price momentum and attractive valuation. The UK was one of the top performing equity markets in the developed world, as it continued to be

relatively immune to the eurozone financial and sovereign debt problems. Germany and France were also positive contributors, primarily because of outperformance during the first half of the year. By contrast, an overweight in Italy detracted from performance as its equity market was hit by a worsening economic outlook and concerns about the country’s ability to finance its national debt. Our positioning in Japan, where we were underweight during the first half of the year, and overweight during the second half, also contributed negatively. Japanese equities rallied early in the year due to positive earnings announcements, but declined during the second half as exporting firms were hurt by an appreciating Japanese Yen.
The UK remains the top overweight position in the portfolio as strong price momentum more than offsets the decline in economic fundamentals and worsening valuation we have seen in recent months. France is now the second-largest overweight based on a combination of attractive value and an improving sentiment view. Improving sentiment is driven by companies in the CAC 40 index experiencing lower deterioration in earnings expectations than companies in other European indices. Meanwhile, Australia continues to be our largest underweight due to expensive valuations and deteriorating fundamentals. Japan is a modest underweight driven principally by negative price momentum and the strengthening of the Japanese Yen.
We continue to favor European equity markets. Over the recent quarter, our overweight in eurozone countries has moderately increased as we continue to see attractive value opportunities in the region. Valuation spreads across developed equity markets widened over the course of 2011, particularly during the third quarter. This widening was caused by a flight to quality associated with de-risking moves, which favored expensive equity markets and hurt cheap ones, especially those in Europe.
The currency selection strategy detracted significantly from fund performance in 2011, as interest rate and price momentum related factors underperformed. Fluctuations in sentiment created risk-on and risk-off moves that prevented clear trends from emerging in currency markets, making momentum trading very challenging. Heightened volatility associated with these moves also created an unfavorable environment for carry trades. In addition, the sharp changes in monetary policy over the year proved a challenging environment for our attempts to predict the direction of interest rates. An example of this is the interest rate increases by the ECB mid-year that were later reversed. Valuation themes had relatively flat performance over the course of the year as we saw mixed performance from our different signals. Losses were concentrated in the second and third quarters, while we saw some positive contributions at the start and at the end of the year.
Our least successful positions were our underweights in the over-valued Japanese yen and Swiss franc. Both of these low yielding currencies appreciated significantly during the first three quarters of 2011, as investors sought a safe haven from the ongoing European sovereign credit crisis. In response to this move, the Swiss National Bank intervened meaningfully in the currency markets in early September to devalue the currency and effectively cap its exchange rate versus the euro. This caused a reversal in the franc appreciation trend, and resulted in some gains to our short position during the fourth quarter. Similar attempts to intervene by the Bank of Japan proved less successful however, and the yen continued to outperform into the end of the year. The biggest positive contributor was the U.S. dollar, which benefited on an overweight position during the second half.
Going forward, we see attractive opportunities in the British pound and U.S. dollar, where cheap valuation is coupled with improving fundamentals. We also favor the Scandinavian currencies, which offer high and improving levels of carry. Conversely, we continue to hold a large underweight in the euro, where the ongoing sovereign credit crisis has driven weakening economic fundamentals, poor price momentum and forced the ECB to lower interest rates. Additionally, we continue to view the Japanese yen and Swiss franc as expensive at current levels, and maintain our underweights in these two currencies.

Dear Shareholder:
The Diversified Arbitrage Fund Class I returned 0.99% during the 2011 calendar year. During the corresponding period, the BofA Merrill Lynch 3 Month Treasury Bill Index (the Fund’s benchmark) returned 0.10% and the S&P 500 returned 2.11%. 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, 2011 is 0.06 and its annualized volatility is 2.8%.
Arbitrage strategies involving corporate securities were stable through the first half of 2011. However, beginning in early August, increased uncertainty involving European sovereign debt caused an increase in risk aversion and a commensurate widening of arbitrage spreads. Spread widening first affected the merger market and was likely exacerbated by redemption-related selling by one or more large merger arbitrage hedge funds. This resulted in a doubling of annualized merger spreads, from roughly 5% to more than 10%. Cheapening in the convertible bond market followed approximately one month later as long-only convertible funds and Wall Street trading desks reduced their convertible exposures. By the end of 2011, the discount of convertible bonds relative to their theoretical values was in the 90th percentile.
The Fund invests in multiple arbitrage and alternative investment strategies, and tactically allocates to strategies based on relative attractiveness. The long-run strategic allocations to merger arbitrage, convertible arbitrage, and event arbitrage are 33% each. However, as displayed in the table below, strategy weights have varied significantly since the Fund’s inception. For example, the allocation to merger arbitrage decreased to 23% at the end of 2010 and subsequently rebounded to 35% by year-end 2011. Other notable changes in strategy weights during the year include a reduction in credit-related trades reflecting fewer corporate bond issuances and a reduction in secondary market trading, a reduction in dual-class arbitrage trades caused by tightening dual-class spreads, a reduction in price-pressure trades caused by abnormally low corporate security issuance, and an increase in SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Corporations) holdings resulting from increased activity in the SPAC IPO market. While the convertible arbitrage strategy displays only minor year-end variations, as discussed below, intra-year variations have been significant.

As measured by the percentage of long market value, convertible arbitrage continues to have the largest strategy weight. Convertible arbitrage involves the purchase of a convertible security at a price below its fundamental or intrinsic value, and the contemporaneous hedging of the convertible’s risk via shorting the underlying stock. In addition to hedging equity risk, convertible arbitrage investments often require hedging of credit and interest rate risk. With a fully hedged position, the arbitrageur profits when the difference between the convertible security’s fundamental value and its traded value converges. As discussed in prior letters, 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, convertibles richened and as of mid-2011, the median discount of convertible prices relative to their theoretical values was roughly at the long-term historical average. In response to systematic richening in the convertible market, we took two actions. First, we reduced the Fund’s allocation to convertible arbitrage. Second, we repositioned the convertible portfolio to hold equity-sensitive convertibles where the equity short provides a direct hedge to the long convertible position. Both of these actions helped to insulate the Fund from losses during the second half of 2011 when convertible securities cheapened considerably as the European sovereign risk crisis unfolded. Although bond cheapening causes losses even if positions are perfectly hedged (this is essentially the definition of “cheapening”), cheapening episodes are often accompanied by unexpectedly high volatility in the underlying stocks. Because of the convexity inherent in a convertible security’s structure, this volatility allows the arbitrageur to create trading profits as the convertible’s hedge ratio changes with stock price changes. That is, as the stock price underlying the convertible security falls, the arbitrageur reduces the short position by buying stock (buy low) and as the stock price rises, the arbitrageur increases the short position by selling stock (sell high). These trading profits are more likely to be obtained with equity-sensitive convertible bonds where the equity option embedded in the convertible security comprises more of the bond’s value. Whereas, convertible arbitrage funds, as reported by various hedge-fund indices, suffered portfolio losses in 2011, the Fund actually profited. Convertible arbitrage contributed -0.01% to the Fund’s return in the second half of 2011 and contributed +0.32% to the Fund’s return for the year. Importantly, in light of the substantial cheapening that occurred due to selling by long-only holders and by Wall Street market makers, the Fund’s year-end portfolio of hedged convertible securities are attractively cheap relative to historical measures.1
Merger arbitrage involves the assumption of deal failure risk following publicly announced mergers and acquisitions. The most common merger arbitrage trade involves the purchase of the target company’s
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. |

equity. Depending on the structure of the transaction, additional trades are used to hedge market and industry risk. For example, in a merger where the consideration is the acquirer’s stock, the Fund seeks to hedge market and industry 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. The Fund began 2011 with a low weight in merger arbitrage, a result of the large number of merger closings in December 2010.2 Because of strong deal flow at the beginning of 2011, the Fund quickly increased its allocation to merger arbitrage back to long-term target levels. During the third quarter of 2011, annualized merger spreads, which began the year around 5%, more than doubled to over 10%. This was caused by significant selling in the merger market in part caused by greater fundamental risk related to increased macroeconomic uncertainty but also caused by redemption-induced selling by some large funds. In our view, since spread widening was in excess of that due solely to declining fundamentals, the Fund increased its exposure to merger arbitrage to 40% during the fourth quarter. By year-end, merger deal spreads had contracted to their beginning-of-year levels. Overall, the Fund realized +0.95% from the merger arbitrage strategy for the year, a result of a substantial number of investable mergers, frequent increased offers, few adverse merger failures, and the tactical allocation towards merger arbitrage when spreads widened during the third quarter. Looking forward to 2012, we expect merger activity and spreads to be similar to those observed in 2011.
As shown in the table above, within the credit event driven/alternative investments category, credit has the largest sub-strategy weight at 10% of total long market value. The credit sub-strategy consists primarily of short-term (average duration of 12-15 months) corporate debentures. Historically, as we have documented using our proprietary corporate debenture 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. Rather, the systematic component of risk is minimal, a direct result of the short-dated nature of the investments. Our analysis using our proprietary database shows that the modest systematic credit and interest rate risk that remains can be hedged at the portfolio level using credit default swaps and Treasury futures. The Fund’s exposure to Credit declined in 2011 from 15% as of year-end 2010 because of a reduction in the issuance of new debentures which resulted in a contraction in portfolio rebalancing by investors that choose to exchange short-term debentures for newly issued longer-term debentures.
The second largest sub-strategy within the event-driven/alternative investment category is SPACs. SPACs are corporations that raise cash through an initial public offering, and place the cash in a trust to be used to acquire an operating company. The number of SPAC initial public offerings has increased during the past year allowing the Fund to increase its exposure from 3% a year ago to its current 6%. Because SPAC assets are held in trust accounts invested in Treasury securities while the SPAC sponsors search for assets to acquire, these investments have very little risk. On the low side, SPACs will generate Treasury bill returns. However, if the SPAC sponsor finds a good acquisition at a great price, the embedded call option on the acquisition target provides significant upside to SPAC investors.
2 | It is not uncommon for a disproportionate number of pending mergers to close in December as merging companies often prefer to avoid having multiple legal entities in the ensuing year. |

Dual-class arbitrage represents the third largest sub-strategy within the event-driven/alternative investment category. Dual-class arbitrage involves trading two classes of stocks issued by the same firm where each class has identical rights to the underlying cash flows of the firm. When the prices of the two classes of stock diverge, buying the low-price share class and shorting the high-price share class generates excess returns on average. In addition, because the dual-class arbitrage strategy has a negative beta, it helps to reduce the systematic equity market risk in the portfolio. As dual-class spreads tightened during the year, the Fund reduced its exposure to dual-class arbitrage from 8% to 5%.
Other sub-strategies (price pressure, PIPEs, closed-end-funds, and other arbitrage and alternative investments) collectively account for 8% of the Fund’s portfolio. The price pressure sub-strategy saw a reduction in exposure from 6% to 1%, a direct result of the decrease in corporate security issuances, particularly in the convertible market. The event-driven/alternative investments category contributed -0.19% to the Fund’s return in 2011, with positive contributions from credit, SPACs, and closed-end-fund arbitrage, offset by negative contributions from dual-class arbitrage, price pressure and other arbitrage and alternative investments.
Overall, the Fund realized a modest +0.99% return in 2011. As of year-end, arbitrage markets in corporate securities are largely stable, especially in the context of current worldwide economic and financial uncertainty. An exception is convertible arbitrage. As noted above, convertible securities are trading well below fundamental values relative to historical levels as a result of widespread selling by long-only holders and by Wall Street market makers seeking to reduce their inventories of convertibles in response to changing regulations and increased macro-economic uncertainty. As of year-end, strategy weights are near long-run expected levels. We anticipate increasing the exposure to convertible arbitrage, however, our ability to do so is constrained by the weak new-issue market and thin secondary market trading. In addition, our leverage is constrained as a 40-Act fund which forces us to focus on less equity-sensitive convertibles that are slightly cheaper but less efficiently hedged. We are exploring various ways to loosen this leverage constraint to allow us to increase the Fund’s exposure in well-hedged equity sensitive convertibles. With respect to the merger market, predicting the deal pipeline with any degree of reliability is difficult due to shocks from the macro-economic environment. If anything, we expect a continuation of the current environment, that is, a steady but less than robust flow of high-quality mergers and somewhat tight spreads and roughly average expected returns. Opportunities in event-driven/alternative investments will depend on the level of corporate activity related to new capital issues and restructuring events. Importantly, irrespective of where the Fund deploys capital in 2012, we will continue to hedge systematic equity, credit, and interest rate risk, with the intention of delivering uncorrelated positive returns.3
3 | Note that the Fund utilizes various derivatives instruments (e.g., futures, options, forwards, and swaps), primarily to hedge against systematic risks including credit risk and interest rate risk. While the purpose of employing derivatives instruments is to decrease the Fund’s overall risk, hedging instruments are imperfect tools and their success depends on the degree of price correlation between the derivative instruments and the assets being hedged. Imperfect correlation may be caused by several factors, including temporary price disparities between derivative markets and markets for the underlying assets. |

Dear Shareholder:
In 2011, the Fund’s Class I shares returned -6.37% and realized an annualized volatility of 9.0%. During this same period, the BofA Merrill Lynch 3 Month Treasury Bill Index (the Fund’s benchmark) returned 0.10%. The Barclay BTOP50 index, which contains 28 of the largest Managed Futures hedge funds by AUM, was down -4.11% over this same period. The Fund’s assets grew to $1.6 B 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 2011, the Fund realized gains in fixed income markets, benefiting from a consistent decline in global interest rates throughout the year. Those gains were offset by losses in equity, currency, and commodity markets, where choppy markets and sharp reversals resulted in losses for trend following strategies. For example, global equity and commodity markets declined sharply in mid-March following the Japanese earthquake, only to rebound back strongly by the end of the month, leading to losses for short-term trend-following strategies. In the third quarter of 2011, there was a reversal in long-standing bullish trends in equities, commodities and carry-sensitive currencies due to the European sovereign debt crisis, which led to losses for long-term trend following strategies. Additionally, both short-term and long-term trend following strategies suffered losses in October, as risky markets rebounded very sharply following bearish trends that had been building up throughout Q3.
By design, the Fund tactically changes the amount of risk it takes in pursuing 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 with a reduced allocation to fixed income, and ended the year with its largest risk allocation in fixed income 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 Fund started 2011 targeting 13% annualized volatility (the maximum ex-ante risk the Fund will target), as there were strong and correlated trends in equity, risk currency, and commodity markets following the strong performance of those markets in late 2010. The Fund reduced its risk target over May and June as the performance of different markets diverged, and did not take risk back up until September. The Fund ended the year at a reduced target of 7% annualized volatility. Below is a summary of the asset class risk exposures throughout 2011:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Asset Class Exposure (% of Risk Allocation) | |
| | 12/31/2010 | | | 3/31/2011 | | | 6/30/2011 | | | 9/30/2011 | | | 12/31/2011 | |
Fixed Income | | | 7% | | | | 15% | | | | 30% | | | | 28% | | | | 30% | |
Commodities | | | 32% | | | | 16% | | | | 13% | | | | 19% | | | | 32% | |
Currencies | | | 29% | | | | 39% | | | | 38% | | | | 22% | | | | 17% | |
Equities | | | 32% | | | | 30% | | | | 19% | | | | 31% | | | | 21% | |
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 were slightly positive in 2011. Within short term trend strategies, the shorter horizon signals (a month or less) performed very poorly, while longer horizon signals (around three months) performed very well. Long-term trend strategies performed poorly, detracting in every asset class outside of fixed income. Long-term trend following strategies were particularly hurt in Q3, when long-standing bullish trends in a number of markets reversed sharply. The over-extended trend strategies helped dampen volatility and even added to performance over this period, especially in commodities, where the Fund’s long exposures were reduced on long-term overextended trend indicators.
The Fund gained 7.0% in the fixed income markets in 2011. The Fund started the year with small long positions in most fixed income instruments. The first quarter saw fixed income losses, as optimism about economic recovery led to increases in global bond yields. However, sovereign debt fears resurfaced and macro fears led to worldwide yield declines over the course of the rest of the year, especially in the third quarter. By the end of the year, central banks such as the European Central Bank (“ECB”) and Reserve Bank of Australia (“RBA”) were cutting interest rates and turning increasingly dovish. The Fund benefitted from these yield declines as it increased its fixed income longs throughout the year.
The Fund lost -6.8% in equities in 2011. The Fund suffered losses in long term trend following signals, particularly in the third quarter when equity markets dropped sharply following a choppy but generally up-trending period over the prior 12 months. Short term trend signals did not help to mitigate the losses, as uncertainty over the year led to very choppy markets. The largest losses were in European countries, where worries over the sovereign debt crisis alternating with proposed solutions to the crisis led to extreme choppiness in those markets.
The Fund lost -4.0% in currencies over the course of the year. Most of the losses came in the third quarter, when risk aversion led to a strong carry unwind, as growing economies which had started to raise interest rates saw their currencies depreciate relative to low yielding (or safe-haven) currencies like the U.S. Dollar, Japanese Yen, and Swiss Franc. The Fund lost money over the quarter due to long positions in high carry, high growth currencies as well as from U.S. Dollar strengthening. Over the course of the year, the Swiss

Franc and British Pound were large positive contributors, while the Fund suffered losses in the Swedish Krona, Japanese Yen, Norwegian Krone, and the Euro.
In commodities, the Fund lost -2.6% in 2011. The Fund profited from a bearish trend in natural gas and bullish trends in gold, and brent crude oil, but lost money in the agricultural commodities, industrial metals, and the other energies. Commodities markets generally suffered from choppiness, for example exhibiting sharp sell-offs in the first week of May and in September. Long term overextended trend signals helped to mitigate some of those losses
The Fund’s performance in 2011 was disappointing. While we are always disappointed by negative performance, the Fund did behave as expected in this environment. Trend following strategies tend to do poorly in sharp reversals and choppy markets, which characterized the markets this year. However, losses were mitigated by the Fund’s construction which emphasizes diversification across assets, asset classes, and signals. In particular, strong trends in fixed income markets helped to offset the losses from trend following in other markets. Short-term trend-following and overextended strategies were positive throughout the year, helping offset losses from long-term trend following. 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, 2011, the AQR Risk Parity Fund completed its first full fiscal year. From December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2011, the Fund’s Class I shares returned +5.45% and realized an annualized volatility of 8.24%. During this same period, the Fund’s benchmark the BofA Merrill Lynch 3 Month Treasury returned 0.10% and a 60/40 benchmark consisting of 60% S&P 500 Index/40% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 5.19% at an average realized volatility of 13.21%. The Fund’s net assets across all share classes grew to $389 million by the end of 2011.
Through the use of derivatives such as futures and swaps, 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 in an attempt to build a truly diversified portfolio where all asset classes matter, but no one asset class matters too much. Risk Parity investing involves allocating investments by risk which means that instruments which have lower risk will generally be allocated larger capital than instruments which are deemed more risky. As markets move through different risk regimes, the portfolio is dynamically adjusted to help keep the overall portfolio risk and balance of risks across asset classes fairly steady through time. We believe this leads to more consistent results, reduces tail risk associated with investments in the capital markets, and enables the investor to remain invested through more difficult market environments.
In addition to varying position sizes to control for increasing or decreasing risk expectations, we also overlay modest portfolio tilts based on AQR’s proprietary expected return models, which include signals based on carry, momentum, valuation, and other important economic variables. These views determine over- and underweights across a broad array of global markets. The ultimate goal is to build a portfolio that in the long run will deliver higher returns at a risk level similar to that of traditional portfolios by combining a better asset allocation with return-boosting tactical tilts. The Fund will remain long all of the markets in which we invest while averaging a moderate (under 0.5 on average) beta to the stock market over a full market cycle.
The targeted annualized volatility for the Fund is 10%, on average, which varies modestly over time based on our perceptions of tactical opportunities within the different asset classes we trade. Over the first half of the year, our tactical signals indicated an attractive environment for all four major risk premia in the Fund. In addition, our estimates of market risk were moderate, leading to Fund exposure levels that were higher than normal.
The resurgence of European sovereign concerns in the third quarter led to a big increase in volatility of all risky assets, and our tactical models picked up on the negative trends in equities and commodities, leading to a more bearish stance on those markets. As a result, we reduced exposures in all asset classes during the third

quarter, with the largest reductions in equities and credit. Overall, Fund exposures were reduced by about one-third over the third quarter. Due to persisting higher volatility in equities, credit, and commodities, exposure levels remained low toward the end of the year. In order to maintain portfolio risk at a steady target, the Fund moved from a 0.45 beta versus the S&P 500 Index in the second quarter to a 0.20 beta in the third and fourth quarters. However, given the recovery in markets in the fourth quarter, the Fund ended the year with bullish tilts toward fixed-income, credit, and equities and a bearish tilt toward commodities.
The Fund experienced gains in only two of the four major asset class buckets for the full year. To a net return of 5.4% for 2011, fixed income contributed 10.1%, inflation-linked assets contributed 1.7%, equities detracted -3.5%, and credit assets detracted -3.1%. Returns to cash in the portfolio added another 0.1%. The tactical tilts we made in the Fund added to returns in fixed income and credit, but detracted in equities and inflation, on net adding 0.1% to the Fund’s return. Like risk, returns for the year were shaped heavily by the declining global economic outlook and fiscal problems in the European periphery. These dual trends took hold in the third quarter, generating poor returns for nearly all risky assets, especially for markets outside the U.S.
In the equity bucket, the Fund was tactically overweight equities through the first half due to short- and long-term momentum signals. With the global market declines and rising volatility in August, we trimmed notional positions by over 50%, largely driven by higher estimates of equity volatility, and partially due to increasingly bearish views in our trend-following signals. Despite the rapid reduction in position size through August, third quarter equities losses were still large enough to outweigh gains from the rest of the year. Our tactical tilts in equities detracted for the year, with a -0.6% return to trend-following strategies and -0.3% return to macro timing strategies. Both tactical tilts were hurt by overweights in equities going into the third quarter based on positive momentum in both prices and fundamental economic data up to that point. Capital allocation to equities rose slightly from the lows of August, but still finished the year well below our expected long-term average due to elevated risk expectations.
In the nominal bond bucket, the Fund entered the year with a weak tactical overweight on bonds that grew stronger through the year based mostly on positive price trends. Nominal rates continued to fall in the second half as economic news turned more negative and central banks coordinated to provide greater liquidity to markets. Tactical overweights to bonds from asset-timing and trend-following models contributed 1.3% to performance, mostly in the second and third quarters. Relative value trades in fixed-income were flat for the year. The Fund finished the year bullish on fixed-income, and especially bullish on Japanese bonds due to positive price momentum. U.K. gilts were underweight at year-end due to high relative valuation.
In the inflation bucket, the Fund began the year with an overweight on commodities based on strong macroeconomic growth indicators as well as positive market momentum. This contributed modestly to performance in the first quarter as improving economic forecasts and political turmoil in the Middle East pushed most commodity sectors higher, but detracted heavily during the third quarter as assets sensitive to macro economic growth declined. For the year, commodities detracted 1.7% from Fund performance, of which 0.3% was due to poor trend-following performance. The Fund ended the year with a tactical underweight in commodities driven by deteriorating global economic growth. Inflation-linked bonds performed well throughout the year, contributing 3.5%, as real rates fell in the U.S., UK, and France on expectations of lower growth.
In the credit bucket, the Fund suffered from large losses during the third quarter as credit spreads widened drastically and emerging market currencies fell in value. A strong fundamental environment for credit spreads and positive credit market momentum led us to overweight high yield credit at the start of

the year. Although notional exposure to credit assets fell nearly 60% due to rising risk estimates in the third quarter’s resurgence of European debt worries, we maintained a tactical overweight on high yield debt due to attractive spreads and strong corporate balance sheets through the end of the year. While our tactical overweight to high yield credit hurt us throughout the year, we benefited from tactical underweights to emerging currencies and commercial mortgage backed spreads throughout the year.
This has been a good first full year for the Fund, as it managed to beat the benchmark’s return at a much lower level of volatility. We believe the Fund’s especially strong relative performance in the third quarter’s adverse environment showed the benefits of broad risk-based diversification and volatility targeting. We remain significantly concerned about the health of the European economy and, in particular, its financial system. Further, the potential global spillover effects of a bad resolution of the current crisis adds risk to all markets, something we believe is reflected in our current elevated risk estimates. We remain confident, however, that the diversification of a risk parity approach provides a sound allocation for the unusually wide variety of potential market environments we may face in the coming year.

Dear Shareholder:
The Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund attempts to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns by providing exposure to a broadly-diversified portfolio of classic, relative-value alternative strategies. We include strategies that are liquid and which can be built to be low-to-uncorrelated with traditional markets, something we believe should be a key feature of alternative strategies that are meant to be a source of diversifying returns. We believe in providing a great deal of transparency, which means providing insight into our investment process and the economic themes we seek to capture in addition to positions.
Our focus on providing a broadly-diversified portfolio starts with including nine major categories in our Fund. They are Long/Short Equity, Equity Market Neutral, Dedicated Short Bias, Emerging Markets, Convertible Arbitrage, Event Driven, Global Macro, Managed Futures and Fixed Income Relative Value. We believe that each of these categories offers good long term risk-adjusted returns, but they each go through good times and bad times. The key is that they usually go through ups and downs at different times, thus allowing us to benefit by diversifying across the nine and generating more consistent long-term performance. Underlying the nine major categories are approximately 60+ strategies that make up the economic themes and classic strategies within the Fund. Each strategy is built from the bottom up by internal, experienced teams at AQR.
Our portfolio construction approach is to be as diversified and balanced as possible, starting with equal risk weighting as a baseline and then making small tactical tilts around the strategic risk allocation when we think strategies are conditionally attractive or unattractive. Because we are trading in these markets daily and because all of the strategies are managed in one portfolio, we can stay disciplined about rebalancing to our strategic weights, stay nimble by taking advantage of tactical opportunities and also provide efficient exposure by netting positions and transactions costs.
We target 10% annual volatility in the Fund and an annual return of 7-8% net of fees in excess of cash.
The Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund’s I shares returned -2.6% in 2011. This was a partial year for the Fund as it launched on July 18, 2011. While during the same period the Fund’s benchmark, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 3 Month Treasury Index, had a slight positive return of 0.02%, the MSCI World Index lost 8.0% and the S&P 500 Index lost 2.6%. The year was challenging for funds like ours, which employ hedge fund-like investment strategies. The hedge fund industry, as measured by its major indices, posted its second worst annual performance ever. The Dow Jones Credit Suisse (DJCS) Hedge Fund Index lost 2.5% net of fees for the year and 4.1% over the July to December period. The investable DJCS Core Index lost 7.4% net of fees in 2011 and 6.5% since the Fund’s inception. The HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index lost 5.0% net of fees in 2011 and 5.7% over the July to December period. The investable HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index lost 8.9% net of fees in 2011 and 6.9% since the Fund’s inception.

The main themes developing over the year were the sovereign debt crisis in Europe, US budget issues accompanied by a downgrade by S&P, and renewed uncertainty about the global economic recovery. Prices reacted sharply to these themes, which in some cases may have created price dislocations unrelated to fundamentals, such as excessive flow into perceived safe-havens. This was particularly true in the third quarter when global equity and commodity markets fell sharply and a strong flight-to-quality scenario played out across and within asset classes. The fourth quarter started with renewed optimism and risk appetite which saw global stock and commodity markets recover much of their third quarter losses. This rebound proved difficult to sustain, however, as concerns about the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and the threat of contagion for the global economy triggered a new wave of risk aversion for the remainder of the year. These developments affected adversely strategies with a beta to de-risking and flight-to-quality scenarios. Policymakers globally took active steps to accommodate economic growth by reducing or keeping stable key interest rates which helped sustain the rally in fixed income securities.
On a relative basis the Fund’s performance was slightly better than the performance of the major hedge fund indices and global equity markets. The Fund’s realized volatility was below target, realizing 5.5% volatility based on daily returns. The Fund’s realized beta to the MSCI World index was less than 0.1. Of the nine major categories, four had positive returns and five had negative returns. The estimated contributions were as follows:
Long/Short Equity: -1.1%
Equity Market Neutral: -1.1%
Dedicated Short Bias: 1.6%
Emerging Markets: -1.1%
Event Driven: 0.6%
Convertible Arbitrage: 0.5%
Global Macro: -2.1%
Managed Futures: -0.1%
Fixed Income Relative Value: 0.2%
Following is a more detailed review of the performance of the categories with notable contributions.
Dedicated Short Bias: The Fund profited from shorting stocks based on investor sentiment in US, Japanese and European markets. The UK portfolio detracted slightly. The category also benefited from being slightly net short the equity market (recall for the most part we hedge out the market exposure via a long portfolio) as stock markets fell on a net basis during the period since the Fund’s inception. The strategy contributed both in the third quarter and in the fourth quarter with September, October and particularly November contributing, and August and December detracting. Portfolio gains were driven largely by the US region, particularly in the month of November when heavily shorted stocks underperformed with the strong market reversal. The Japanese portfolio had modest contributions in both quarters, while the region of Europe detracted in the third quarter but contributed in the fourth quarter with heavily shorted stocks underperforming during both the rally and the subsequent reversal.
Event Driven: The category provided a strong contribution during the period, particularly in the fourth quarter. Returns were driven by merger deal spreads contracting from a high of above 15% in early August to below 7% at year-end accompanied by a very low incidence of deal failure. The Fund tactically increased its exposure to the category in mid-August to take advantage of merger spreads increasing sharply with the global de-risking early in the month. The Fund ended the year with a tactical underweight in the strategy to reflect normal spread levels but very slow deal flow.

AQR MULTI-STRATEGY ALTERNATIVE FUND | | |
Convertible Arbitrage: Converts cheapened in the third quarter due to increased market volatility around the US debt ceiling vote and later due to continuing macroeconomic uncertainty worldwide. However, the increased volatility benefited the strategy as the option component of equity sensitive names strengthened and gamma trading yielded some gains. New issuance remained very slow during this period. Cheapness continued to increase in the fourth quarter as high as 6.5% and remains above 5.5% levels, making converts attractively priced. We increased our tactical weight to 90% as a result with a view towards increasing it further to 100% once new issuance improves.
Emerging Markets: The category detracted significantly during the period with losses in the currency, equity directional and stock selection components. The currency relative value strategy drove the bulk of the performance with losses due mostly to carry and trend themes. Carry underperformed as high-yielding emerging currencies in Eastern Europe and Latin America sold off due to high beta to the global economic downturn. These losses were mitigated somewhat by our systematic carry drawdown control process. Trend factors took a hit as prior positive trends in Eastern European and Latin American currencies reversed in the third quarter. The equity directional and stock selection components, which were long throughout the period, also detracted with the global sell-off. The equity index relative value component contributed modestly.
Long/Short Equity: The category detracted significantly during the period with losses concentrated in the third quarter and positive performance in the fourth quarter. In the third quarter, losses came from being net long the market (recall again here for the most part we hedge out the market exposure of this strategy) while global equity markets sold off sharply. The UK portfolio also detracted with losses in most themes. In the fourth quarter, positive performance was concentrated in the month of October when global equity markets rallied on optimism about the global economic recovery. October saw positive performance from all geographical regions and from the directional component of the strategy. Renewed risk aversion in November and December resulted in negative performance. Our growth indicators in the stock portfolio contributed in all regions except the US, while our industry selection model contributed in all regions.
Equity Market Neutral: The category underperformed during the period, both in the third quarter and in the fourth quarter. In the third quarter, value themes suffered, particularly in Europe and the UK. The Japanese portfolio’s strong performance helped partially offset losses in the other regions. In the fourth quarter, losses were concentrated mostly in the region of Europe where valuation themes struggled with continuing risk aversion and uncertainty about reliable solutions to the region’s sovereign debt crisis leading investors towards safer, more expensive stocks. Earnings quality themes also detracted in Europe, the UK and the US.
Global Macro: The category was the biggest detractor in the Fund during the period. The primary source of underperformance was the developed currencies relative value strategy where trend and carry themes detracted significantly, while value was flat. Carry was hit especially hard in the third quarter when global de-risking directed funds into low-yielding (or safe-haven) currencies such as the Japanese Yen. Rate predicting factors also took a hit as we saw a complete re-pricing of expected policy moves. Trend losses were entirely driven by price momentum themes with the worsening risk environment causing a reversal in the general trend of outperformance in high-yielding and risk-sensitive currencies. Position-wise, the biggest detractors were our value-driven shorts in Japanese Yen and Swiss Francs as both of them appreciated with the risk-off moves in the third quarter, and our trend and carry driven long in New Zealand Dollars which depreciated with the carry-trade unwind. The developed equity relative value strategy also detracted for the period with the losses concentrated in the third quarter when European debt concerns hurt our value-driven long European positions while our value and trend driven short in Australia lost as Gross Domestic Product growth positively surprised markets and the global slowdown led to speculation

of rate cuts by the RBA. The developed equity directional strategy also detracted as its long position in the basket of developed equity markets was hurt during the sell-off in the third quarter. We saw some gains from our long positions in the fixed income directional category which benefited from aggressive monetary policy actions globally.
While we attempt to build each strategy to be uncorrelated either at all points in time or on average over time, we also recognize that strategies can take on conditional correlations to traditional markets, either because of changing tactical views, as in managed futures, or because a relative value strategy is trading with more correlation than expected. As such, we monitor the Fund’s positions on a daily basis and estimate the conditional beta of the Fund to traditional markets, specifically equity markets. If that beta is beyond a threshold we’ll put on a hedge overlay at the Fund-level to attempt to bring the beta back down to within the threshold. During the period, the overlay contributed 3.8% to the Fund’s return, mostly in the third quarter when the position was relatively large. In the fourth quarter, the Fund’s estimated residual long market exposure was small on average and our overlay position was modest. The overlay return is incorporated in the contributions presented above for each of the underlying categories as we allocate the contribution to each category on the basis of its contribution to the estimated beta of the Fund.
As of the end of the year, the Fund was tactically underweight managed futures due to the misalignment of trends at different time horizons in equities and currencies. The Fund was also underweight global macro strategies and fixed income relative value strategies, as we are seeing relatively fewer opportunities to invest in cheap and improving asset classes while earning carry. The Fund reduced its tactical underweight in convertible arbitrage to reflect improved cheapness (prices relative to fair value) levels in the aggregate convertible bond space, while new issuance remains slow but is expected to improve in the first quarter of 2012. Finally, we implemented a tactical underweight in the event driven category as merger deal flow is relatively weak and median deal spreads have reverted to moderate levels from the peaks early in the fourth quarter.
The Fund makes extensive use of derivative instruments such as futures, forwards and swaps in order to implement investment ideas in a diverse array of markets. Derivatives account for the majority of positions in the Fund with -3.1% of performance during the period attributable to these positions.

Markets ended 2011 on a stronger note, after what had been a volatile year by historical standards. Despite a -15% drop in the third quarter on European sovereign debt troubles, US equity markets rebounded in the fourth quarter encouraged by an improved outlook on the US economy due to a decrease in unemployment and positive changes in manufacturing production, as well as some progress on the European crises. For the full year, the Russell 1000 Index returned 1.50% while the Russell 1000 Growth Index returned 2.64%. The AQR Momentum Fund (the “Fund”) underperformed the market, losing -2.68% for the year.
Most of the underperformance to the Russell 1000 Index was driven by stock-level underweights of past losers and overweights of past winners within sectors, particularly in the Information Technology, Energy, and Healthcare sectors. In Information Technology, large negative contributors were overweights in Juniper Networks, a provider of Internet infrastructure solutions for telecommunication services companies, and EMC Corporation, a provider of enterprise storage, who both experienced large price drops at the end of July on poor second quarter performance results. Underweights in IBM and Google, especially in the third quarter, further detracted from performance. Large contributors to underperformance in Energy include the Fund’s overweights in oil servicing companies that performed particularly poorly compared to other Energy companies in the third quarter due to higher sensitivities to drops in oil prices.
Relative exposures across sectors played a smaller role in underperformance. The Fund’s overweight in the Energy sector detracted, particularly in the second and third quarters, as declining oil prices underscored investor concerns of global economic weakness.
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 EMini futures, to gain market exposure and equitize daily flows. The Fund’s derivatives positions in 2011 contributed about 0.05% over the year, consistent with market performance for the year.

US small cap stocks fared worse than their large- and mid-cap peers, particularly in the third quarter. The Russell 2000 Index finished down -4.18% for the year and the Russell 2000 Growth Index returned -2.91% for the year. The AQR Small Cap Momentum Fund (the “Fund”) outperformed both Russell indices, down -2.62% in 2011.
Outperformance relative to the Russell 2000 Index was driven by relative exposures within the Health Care and Consumer Discretionary sectors, while defensive sector exposures, like Utilities detracted. In Health Care, the Fund benefitted from its overweight in Pharmasset, the developer of the first all-oral regimen for treating hepatitis C. Returning almost 500% for the year, the stock was trending up even before the announcement of its acquisition by Gilead in mid November. In Consumer Discretionary, large contributors to outperformance included the Fund’s overweight in retailers, Crocs and Select Comfort, who both reported strong sales growth and earnings ahead of expectations in the second quarter, and underweight in Eastman Kodak, who lost a major patent battle in the second quarter.
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 Mini futures, to gain market exposure and equitize daily flows. The Fund’s derivatives positions in 2011 contributed about -0.22% to performance over the year, consistent with market performance for the year.

Similar to the US market, global markets also suffered a dismal third quarter on European debt concerns and general economic weakness, but lacking strengthening global economic indicators, did not recover in the fourth quarter. The MSCI World ex-USA Index fell by -12.21%, while the MSCI World ex-USA Growth Index fell by a similar -12.71% for the year. The AQR International Momentum Fund (the “Fund”) underperformed both benchmarks, returning -14.36%.
The Fund’s underperformance relative to the broader MSCI World ex-USA Index, was primarily driven by over and underweights across sectors. Specifically, in the third quarter, the fund was underweight Consumer Staples and Health Care, defensive sectors that outperformed during the volatile third quarter, and overweight Materials and Industrials, two sectors that underperformed relative to the market due to higher sensitivities to the perceived economic slowdown.
Stock-level overweights of past winners and underweights of past losers in Materials, Industrials, and Energy detracted from performance. Within the Materials sector, underperformance was due primarily to the fund’s overweights of Xstrata and Rio Tinto, mining companies whose prices fell relative to those of peers in August, after missing analysts’ estimates and on higher sensitivity to the general perceived downturn in that month. In Industrials, a large contributor to negative performance was an overweight in Siemens, a German industrial conglomerate whose price dropped in August on below consensus second quarter earnings.
Stock exposures within countries also detracted from performance. As mentioned above, overweights in UK mining companies such as Rio Tinto, Xstrata, and Anglo American, hurt the Fund relative to the broader markets as UK mining companies underperformed the rest of the UK market. In Canada, Energy companies also underperformed the broader markets in Canada, especially in August on concerns of an economic slowdown. Here, the Fund’s underweight in Barrick Gold, a Canadian gold mining company that gained significantly versus the rest of the market in the third quarter on strengthening gold prices, further decreased performance.
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 2011 contributed about -0.07% to performance over the year, consistent with UK equity markets being down for the year.

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. 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. 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.
AQR International 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. Foreign investing involves special risks such as currency fluctuations and political uncertainty. 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.

The investment objective of the AQR Global Equity Fund is long-term capital appreciation. The principal investment strategies of the AQR Global Equity Fund include seeking to outperform the MSCI World Total Return Index (the “Global Equity Benchmark”) while seeking to control its tracking error relative to this benchmark. The Global Equity Benchmark is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the performance of equities in developed markets, including the United States and Canada. The AQR Global Equity Fund commenced operations on December 31, 2009. The Fund offers Class I, Class N and Class Y shares.

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 and warrants, are valued at the latest quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market in which each security trades. The value of securities listed on the NASDAQ shall generally be the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. 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 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, which may include the use of proprietary valuation models which may consider market transactions in comparable securities and the various relationships between securities in determining value and/or market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, credit spreads, estimated default rates, underlying collateral, and other unique security features. 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 and AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund sell securities they do not own as a hedge against some of their long positions and/or in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security (short sale). When the Funds make a short sale, they must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. The Funds 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 Funds are also subject to the risk that they may be unable to reacquire a security to terminate a short position except at a price substantially in excess of the last quoted price. The Fund is also subject to risk of loss if the broker were to fail to perform its obligations under the contractual terms. Liabilities for securities sold short are reported at market value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the change in market value is recorded as unrealized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations.
The Funds are required to pledge cash or securities to the broker as collateral for the securities sold short. Collateral requirements are calculated daily based on the current market value of the short positions. Cash deposited with broker for collateral for securities sold short is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and securities segregated as collateral are denoted in the Schedule of Investments. The Funds may receive or pay the net of the following amounts: (i) a portion of the income from the investment of cash collateral; (ii) the broker’s fee on the borrowed securities; and (iii) a financing charge for the difference in the market value of the short position and cash collateral deposited with the broker. This income or fee is calculated daily based upon the market value of each borrowed security and a variable rate that is dependent on the availability of the security. The net amount of fees of $5,015,807 and $34,744 are included in dividend and interest on securities sold short in the Statements of Operations for AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund and AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund, respectively.
Futures Contracts: The Funds invest in futures contracts. The Funds, excluding AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund, AQR Risk Parity Fund and AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund, invest in futures in order to hedge their investments or equitize their cash flows against fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates or market conditions. The AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund, AQR Risk Parity Fund and AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund invest in futures as part of their primary investment strategy. Investments in futures may increase or decrease exposure to a particular market. In the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of a futures commission merchant that holds margin on behalf of the Funds, the Funds may not be entitled to the return of all of the margin owed to the Funds, potentially resulting in a loss. No monies are paid to or received by a Fund upon the purchase or sale of a futures contract. Initially, a Fund will be required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents, known as initial margin, based on the value of the contract. Subsequent payments to and from the broker, will be made on a periodic basis as the price of the underlying instruments fluctuates. Changes in the market value of open futures contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Operations. Realized gains or losses, representing the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are reported in the Statements of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The use of long futures contracts subjects the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, up to the contract amount of the futures contracts. The use of short futures contracts subjects the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. Futures contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Forward Currency Contracts: The Funds 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 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 Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Funds could be exposed to risk if the value of the currency changes unfavorably, if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the Fund is unable to enter into a closing position.

Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. 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 reference entity 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 Statements 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: Certain Funds enter into credit default swap contracts to provide a measure of protection against risk of loss following a default, or other credit event in respect of issuers within an underlying index or a single issuer, or to gain credit exposure to an underlying index or issuer. In a credit default contract, the protection buyer typically makes an up front payment and a periodic stream of payments to a counterparty, the protection seller, in exchange for the right to receive a contingent payment upon the occurrence of a credit event on the reference obligation or all other equally ranked obligations of the reference entity. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring and obligation acceleration. An upfront payment received by a Fund, as the protection seller, or an upfront payment made by a Fund, as the protection buyer, is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Upfront payments are amortized over the term of the contract. 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.
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 Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
The credit default swaps in which the AQR Risk Parity Fund is providing protection at December 31, 2011 are summarized as follows:

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 enters 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 the 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 causing greater price volatility. These instruments involve a greater risk of loss due to default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors’ claims.
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 for the benefit of a Fund is held in a segregated account by the Fund’s custodian and with respect to those amounts which can be sold or repledged, are presented in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Collateral pledged by the Fund is segregated by the Fund’s custodian and identified in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Collateral can be in the form of cash 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 generally 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, the Fund realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid. When a Fund enters into a closing transaction, the Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premiums paid or received. Written uncovered call options subject the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. Written covered call options limit the upside potential of a security above the strike price. Put options written subject the Funds to risk of loss if the value of the security declines below the exercise price minus the put premium.
The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Written and purchased options are non-income producing investments.
Transactions in call and put options written during the period ended December 31, 2011 for the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund were as follows:

Securities Lending: The Trust (excluding the 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 various JPMorgan Money Market Funds. Upon termination of a loan, the Funds are required to return to the borrower the posted cash collateral. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time. Securities lending income is comprised of income earned on cash collateral investments (“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 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 Adviser 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, 2011 are open for examination. As of December 31, 2011, 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. Trust level expenses are allocated among the Funds based on the ratio of average net assets or some other reasonable methodology.
The Funds record distributions received in excess of income from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates (if actual amounts are not available) and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Funds adjust the estimated amounts of components of distributions (and consequently net investment income) as necessary once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.
The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, 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 Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund in connection with the organization of the Fund, professional fees, printing fees and the offering of the initial registration were $101,582. All costs were expensed during the initial reporting period.
Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. The market value of investment securities and the other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
Although the net assets of the Funds are presented at the foreign exchange rates and market values at the close of the period, the Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the foreign exchange rates from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held or sold during the period. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investment transactions.
Reported realized foreign currency gains or losses arise from the disposition of foreign currency, 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 U.S. 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’ prime brokers and counterparties. The Funds are subject to credit risk should the prime brokers and counterparties be unable to meet their obligations to the Funds.
Distributions to Shareholders: The Funds intend to declare and distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions will be determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. To the extent these “book/tax” differences are permanent in nature (i.e., that they result from other than timing of recognition — “temporary differences”), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax-basis treatment.
Indemnification: In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into various agreements that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as any potential exposure involves future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

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 capital loss carryforwards, passive foreign investment companies (“PFIC”), forward foreign currency exchange contracts, swap contracts and the tax treatment of income and gain or loss from the subsidiary.
At December 31, 2011, 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 swap contracts, distribution reclassifications, foreign currency reclassifications, sale of Real Estate Investment Trusts, PFIC’s and the tax treatment of income and gain or loss from the subsidiary. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.
The tax character of the distributions paid during the periods ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, were as follows:

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered short-term as under previous law. Any post-enactment capital losses generated will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment tax years.
5. Fair Value Measurements
The Funds utilize various inputs in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. GAAP establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs be used when available. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels as follows:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, pre-payment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Valuation methodology and inputs
An investment asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement. The objective of fair value measurement remains the same even when there is a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique used.
The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following are certain inputs and techniques that the Funds use 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 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 Funds 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 Funds based on various valuation models which consider the terms of underlying contracts and market data inputs received from third parties.

Notes to Financial Statements | | | December 31, 2011 | |
Credit default swaps are carried at their estimated fair value, as determined in good faith by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees. In addition to credit quality, the Funds monitor a variety of factors including cash flow assumptions, market activity, market sentiment and valuation as part of their ongoing process of assessing payment and performance risk. As payment and performance risk increases, the value of a credit default swap 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 beginning of the period. Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 or from Level 3 to Level 2 are due to a decline or an increase in market activity (e.g. frequency of trades), which resulted in a lack of or increase in available market inputs to determine price.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.

The update is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the update’s adoption on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

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, AQR Risk Parity Fund and AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative 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.

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, 2011, were as follows:
| | | | |
FUND CLASS | | AMOUNT | |
AQR Global Equity Fund — Class I | | $ | 8,479 | |

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. 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. Prior to May 1, 2011, the Funds (excluding AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund) reserved the right to charge a redemption fee on redemption proceeds for shares that were held for less than 60 days. Effective May 1, 2011, this fee was eliminated for Classes I, N and L.
11. In-Kind Transactions
Effective January 1, 2010, 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.
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.
The Funds may have elements of risk not typically associated with investments in the United States of America due to concentrated investments in a limited number of countries or regions, which may vary throughout the year. Such concentrations may subject the Funds to additional risks resulting from political or economic conditions in such countries or regions and the possible imposition of adverse governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and their prices to be more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies.
Swap agreements involve, to varying degrees, elements of market risk (generally equity price risk related to equity index swap agreements, interest rate risk related to bond swap agreements and commodity risk related to synthetic swap agreements utilizing futures) and exposure to loss in excess of the amount reflected on the Statements of Assets and
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | AQR Funds | | | | | | Annual Report | | | | | | December 2011 | | 189 |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
Notes to Financial Statements | | | December 31, 2011 | |
Liabilities. The notional amounts, which are disclosed as of period end in the swap tables included in the Schedules of Investments, reflect the current investment exposure each Fund has under the swap agreement which may exceed the net asset value of the Fund.
The Funds are not limited in the percentage of its assets that may be invested in convertible securities. Convertible securities generally offer lower interest or dividend yields than non-convertible securities of similar quality. The market values of convertible securities tend to decline as interest rates increase and, conversely, to increase as interest rates decline. However, the convertible security’s market value tends to reflect the market price of the common stock of the issuing company when that stock price is greater than the convertible’s “conversion price,” which is the predetermined price at which the convertible security could be exchanged for the associated stock.
Convertible securities and non-convertible income producing securities are subject to certain risks, including (i) if interest rates go up, the value of convertible securities and non-convertible income-producing securities in the Funds’ portfolio generally will decline; (ii) during periods of declining interest rates, the issuer of a security may exercise its option to prepay principal earlier than scheduled, forcing the Funds to reinvest in lower yielding securities (call or prepayment risk); and (iii) during periods of rising interest rates, the average life of certain types of securities may be extended because of slower than expected principal payments (extension risk).
Credit risk is the risk that one or more securities in the Funds’ portfolio will decline in price, or fail to pay interest or principal when due, because the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial status. The Funds’ investments in convertible and nonconvertible debt securities involve credit risk. However, in general, lower rated securities carry a greater degree of risk that the issuer will lose its ability to make interest and principal payments, which could have a negative impact on the Funds’ net asset value or dividends.
As of December 31, 2011, 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, 2011, the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund and AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund pledged a substantial portion of their assets for securities sold short to JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A.
13. Line of Credit
The Trust (excluding the AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund and AQR Risk Parity Fund) has secured a committed, $150,000,000 line of credit with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Borrowings, if any, under this arrangement bear interest at the Federal 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 March 16, 2012. It is Management’s intention to enter into an agreement with similar terms through 2012. As of and for the period ended December 31, 2011, the Funds did not have any outstanding borrowings under this agreement.
14. Principal Ownership
As of December 31, 2011, the Funds had individual shareholder accounts, owning more than 5% of the total shares outstanding of the Fund as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
FUND | | NUMBER OF SHAREHOLDERS | | | TOTAL PERCENTAGE INTEREST HELD | |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of AQR Funds:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations, of 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 Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund, AQR Momentum Fund, AQR Small Cap Momentum Fund and AQR International Momentum Fund (nine of the portfolios constituting AQR Funds, hereinafter referred to as the “Funds”) at December 31, 2011, 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, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative procedures where securities purchased had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Fund Expense Examples (Unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Trust, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid for the Period Ended 12/31/11” 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 May 18, 2011, to consider the approval of the investment management agreement (the “Investment Management Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of the AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund (the “Fund”), and AQR Capital Management, LLC (“AQR”) and the approval of the investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) by and among the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, AQR and CNH Partners, LLC (“CNH” or the “Sub-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 and CNH relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory 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 the consideration of the Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement; (c) information independently compiled and prepared by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) relating to the proposed Fund’s fees and expenses; (d) a discussion of the financial statements of AQR and CNH; and (e) a discussion of the compliance programs of AQR and CNH and regulatory exam histories of each. AQR and the Sub-Advisor are referred to herein as the “Adviser,” as applicable. The Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are referred to herein as the “Management Agreement,” as applicable.
At the in person meeting held on May 18, 2011, the Board, including the Board Members who are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Board Members”), unanimously approved the Investment Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial two-year period. 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 the Adviser; (b) the investment performance of the Adviser’s portfolio management; (c) the management fee and the cost of the services and profits to be realized by the Adviser from the relationship with the 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 the Adviser 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 the Adviser. The Board Members reviewed the services that the Adviser would provide to the Fund under the Management Agreement. The Board considered the size and experience of the Adviser’s staff, its use of technology, and the Fund’s investment objective, strategy and process. The Board reviewed the overall qualifications of the Adviser 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 the Adviser 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 the Adviser 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 the Adviser.
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, has responsibility for overseeing CNH with respect to the Fund, oversight of Fund accounting, marketing services, and provides assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements and other services necessary for the operation of the Fund. In particular, the Board reviewed the compliance and administrative services to be provided to the Fund by AQR. The Board also reviewed a wide range of services to be provided to certain of the Fund’s shareholders under a shareholder services agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and AQR. These services include providing information and services to Fund shareholders, including professional and informative reporting, access to analysis and explanations of Fund reports, and electronic access to Fund information.
Finally, the Independent Board Members had an opportunity to meet outside the presence of management in executive session separately with counsel to discuss and consider the Management Agreement. Based on the presentations at the May 18, 2011, Board meeting, the Board 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.

Board Approval of Investment Management Agreement (Unaudited) |
Investment Performance of the Adviser’s Portfolio Management. Because the Fund is newly formed, the Board did not consider the investment performance of the Fund. The Board based its review of the Adviser’s performance primarily on the experience of the Adviser in managing other registered investment companies and private funds, noting that other funds the Adviser manages might have investment objectives, policies or restrictions different from those of the 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 the Adviser 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 and that CNH would be an appropriate sub-adviser for the Fund.
The Management Fee and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by the Adviser from the Relationship with the Fund. The Board, including the Independent Board Members, received and reviewed information regarding the management fees to be paid by the Fund to the Adviser pursuant to the Management Agreement. The Board examined this information in order to determine the reasonableness of the fees in light of the nature and quality of services 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 noted that breakpoints are part of the Fund’s proposed management fee rate and that the proposed management 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 took into consideration the Adviser’s profits from the management of other private accounts. The Board also 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. The Board concluded that the sub-advisory fee for the Fund is reasonable.
Economies of Scale. Because the Fund is newly formed and had not commenced operations as of May 18, 2011, and the eventual aggregate amount of Fund assets was uncertain, the Adviser 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. However, the Adviser presented information to show that the fees were set at a level that is competitive relative to funds of a larger scale. The Board considered that the funds in the AQR fund complex share some common resources and, as a result, an increase in the overall size of the complex could permit each fund to incur lower expenses than it would otherwise as a stand-alone entity. The Board also considered the Adviser’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and 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 management agreements. No single factor was determinative to the decision of the Board. Based on the foregoing and such other matters as were deemed relevant, all of the Board Members, including all of the Independent Board Members, concluded that the proposed management fee rates and projected total expense ratios are reasonable in relation to the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund, as well as the costs incurred and

benefits to be gained by the Adviser in providing such services, including the investment advisory and administrative components. The Board also found the proposed investment management fees to be reasonable in comparison to the fees charged by advisers to other comparable funds of similar, actual or anticipated size. As a result, all of the Board Members, including the Independent Board Members, approved the Investment Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund. The Independent Board Members were represented by counsel who assisted them in their deliberations.
