Dear Shareholder:
The AQR Alternative Risk Premia Fund (the “Fund”) Class I shares returned -7.51% in 2018. The ICE BofA Merrill Lynch US 3-Month Treasury Bill Index, which is the Fund’s benchmark returned +1.88% over that same period.
The Fund invests in four different asset groups, including through the use of derivatives such as futures and swaps: equities of major developed markets, country specific equity indices, bonds, and currencies. The Fund employs market-neutral and long-short strategies across these asset groups based on six investment styles:
Value – The tendency for cheap assets to outperform expensive ones
Momentum – The tendency for an asset’s recent relative performance to continue in the future
Carry – The tendency for higher-yielding assets to provide higher returns than lower-yielding assets
Defensive – The tendency for lower-risk and higher-quality assets to generate higher risk-adjusted returns
Trend – The tendency for an asset’s recent performance to continue in the future
Volatility – The tendency for options to be richly priced
The Fund’s losses were broad based as each of the four asset groups traded detracted as did five of the Fund’s six investment styles. As mentioned, losses were broad based from a style perspective but the largest drivers were Value and Momentum, particularly implemented within the equities of major developed markets asset group. Despite having two of the three styles defined within equities of major developed markets detract meaningfully, the asset group was the smallest detractor as Defensive provided mostly offsetting gains. The worst performing asset group was country specific equity indices which was impacted negatively by each of the five styles defined for the asset group. In particular, long positioning in underperforming Japanese equities and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng and short positioning in the outperforming Swiss Market Index were amongst the largest detractors. The Volatility style also contributed some losses to country specific equity indices as a result of a number of sharp declines in equity markets in February and the more turbulent fourth quarter. Bonds were impacted by an aggregate short view in markets as a function of Trend whereas performance in the other styles netted to smaller aggregate losses. Currencies were impacted by choppy markets which led to losses from both Momentum and Trend, but those losses were tempered by gains in Value.

Dear Shareholder:
The AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund (the “Fund”) invests in arbitrage strategies, including merger arbitrage, convertible arbitrage, and event-driven strategies. The investment process seeks to efficiently capture a liquidity premium around corporate control and capital raising events by maintaining a diversified portfolio of securities and instruments. Over the 2018 calendar year, the Fund returned +2.19%, with positive contributions from merger arbitrage (+1.9%) and convertible arbitrage (+0.7%) strategies, and a negative contribution from the event-driven strategy (-0.4%). A discussion of specific performance drivers for each of the three core strategies is included below.
Since its inception on January 15, 2009, the Fund’s correlation with overall equity and credit markets remains low. Based on monthly returns since inception through December 31, 2018, the Fund’s equity market beta (relative to the S&P 500 Total Return Index®) is less than 0.1, its annualized volatility is 2.3% and its Sharpe ratio is 0.9.
Fund Description
Unlike textbook arbitrage that requires no capital and where identical securities can simultaneously be bought and sold for different prices, corporate arbitrage investments require significant capital and involve the purchase and sale of related but not identical securities at advantageous prices. For example, in merger arbitrage, the target stock can often be purchased for a price that is less than the merger consideration offered by the acquiring company. Arbitrageurs attempt to capture this difference by buying the target stock, and in the case of a stock merger, short-selling the acquirer’s stock. Similarly, in the case of convertible arbitrage, investors typically purchase a convertible bond at a price below fundamental value and hedge the risk of the underlying equity call option that is embedded in the bond by short selling the issuer’s common stock. Arbitrageurs generally profit when the prices of securities purchased increase relative to their fundamental values.
Like merger arbitrage and convertible arbitrage, the event-driven strategies employed by the Fund involve the purchase of securities around corporate events at discounts to their fundamental values. For every investment, an attempt is made to mitigate the embedded systematic risk via hedging. Where there is no direct hedge for a particular security, correlated indirect hedges are employed. For example, systematic equity market risk is hedged by shorting S&P 500 futures. Similarly, for example, credit and interest rate risks are hedged using derivative contracts (credit default swap indices and Treasury futures). Although indirect hedges can effectively mitigate systematic risk (e.g. beta) on average, they expose the Fund to basis risk – the basket of securities purchased around corporate events does not necessarily move in lockstep with the hedging instruments.
Performance Attribution
Over a long horizon, we expect arbitrage returns to have a low correlation to equity and credit markets and exceed short-term Treasury bill returns by 3.0% to 4.0% on average. In some years, as in 2016 and 2017, arbitrage strategies will generate returns that are greater than the long-run expected average. In other years, as in 2014, 2015, and most recently in 2018, arbitrage investments will fail to reach this expected excess return. Since its inception in 2009, the Fund has averaged 2.1% above short-term Treasury bills1 annually, slightly below expectations for the long-term horizon. Albeit below expectations, the Fund’s performance is not surprising given the macro-economic distortions caused by record low interest rates since the financial crisis, including suppression of convertible bond issuance. Since short term interest rates are no longer pegged near zero, we anticipate convertible new issuance will revert to long-term historical averages and will thus increase in the future.
Merger Arbitrage
Merger arbitrage contributed +1.9% to the Fund’s returns in 2018. Positive contributions from competing bids and orderly deal closures more than offset losses from deal failures. During the year there were periods of increased spread volatility particularly during the first half of 2018. At the

beginning of the year the median annualized spread was 3.8%. Spread levels peaked at 10.7% (as measured by weekly data) in April, before reverting back to 3.8% at the end of the year. There was a significant decrease in the size of the universe year over year as several “mega-mergers” (deals over $50B) completed and deal activity slowed in the third and fourth quarters over concerns around trade tensions and choppy financial markets. Despite this development, the number of North American transactions over $500 million (51) remains above the historical average (49).
The largest individual contributor to merger arbitrage strategy performance was Sky Plc (“Sky”), which was the target of competing bids from Twenty-First Century Fox and Comcast. The competitive process resulted in the initial buyout offer of £10.75 being ultimately increased to £17.28 per Sky share. This situation contributed 0.4% to the Fund’s 2018 return.
Unfortunately global trade tensions resulted in several merger failures in 2018. The most notable was the NXP Semiconductor / Qualcomm transaction, which was abandoned following the companies’ inability to secure approval from China’s State Administration for Market Regulation ahead of the companies’ self-imposed deadline. This transaction was the largest detractor on the year for the merger arbitrage strategy, detracting -0.2% from Fund performance.
Convertible Arbitrage
Convertible arbitrage contributed +0.7% to the Fund’s returns in 2018. Performance was driven by positive developments in a legacy position, described below, and carry of the portfolio, which was partially offset by cheapening of the convertible market. New issuance in the convertible market hit a post-crisis record of $51b in 2018. We believe this new supply was the key driver of the cheapening experienced during the first three quarters of the year as median valuations moved from -1.0% (“rich”) to +0.2% (“cheap”) from the beginning of the year through the third quarter.2 Convertibles continued to cheapen throughout the fourth quarter, ending 2018 at a median valuation of +0.9% cheap. As new issuance slowed considerably we attribute the fourth quarter cheapening to uncertainty and equity market volatility induced by global economic concerns.
The largest contributor to convertible arbitrage returns was the Fund’s legacy position in Amyris, Inc.’s 9.5% convertible bonds. The Fund experienced a +0.7% return from this position as the bonds appreciated in value from 72.5% to 100.3% in response to several financing agreements that removed uncertainty around the company’s ability to pay principal at maturity. On December 6, 2018 the company announced the sale of $60mm of new convertible notes, generating proceeds which it intends to use to repay the 9.5% convertible notes when they mature.
Event-Driven
The event-driven strategy detracted -0.4% from the Fund’s returns in 2018. Losses in the Spinoff strategy (-0.8%) and Closed End Fund strategy (-0.3%), were partially offset by gains in the Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPAC”) strategy (+0.4%). Spinoff strategy underperformance is largely attributable to names underperforming their sectors. There were 20 spinoffs in 2018, the same as in 2017 but below the long term average of 33. In the Closed End Fund (“CEF”) strategy, losses are largely attributable to an overall widening in the discount to NAV. From the start of the year through late-December the median discounts widened across all CEF buckets; municipal bond CEFs went from -6.0% to -13.5%, credit CEFs went from-6.9% to -15.6%, and equity CEFs went from -7.2% to -13.0%. Although widening discounts cause losses to existing positions, they provide attractive investment opportunities. Additional capital was deployed to CEFs when discounts increased and we expect this to generate future profits as discounts revert to normal levels. The Fund’s performance in the SPAC strategy was driven by 33 announced and 20 successfully completed acquirer transactions during 2018. New issuance for SPACs in 2018 topped the robust activity seen in 2017 with 47 SPACs issued raising a combined $10.8 billion of capital. This builds upon a very strong 2017, where 34 SPACs raised $10 billion.
Looking Forward
Overall we are pleased with performance in 2018. Even though merger arbitrage spreads remain slightly below average, we are cautiously optimistic about the opportunity set in 2019. While the scale of the merger arbitrage universe decreased in 2018, the scope of the transactions remains compelling and we believe this will continue to allow for opportunities to construct a diversified portfolio of transactions. Additionally, 2019 is off to a promising start with 4 definitive deals worth $90 billion announced as of January 15th. We are cognizant of continued global trade tensions and are monitoring potential exposure to these developments within the portfolio. We are encouraged by new issuance in the convertible market during 2018. Looking

ahead to 2019 we believe that heightened new issuance will continue if interest rates remain at or exceed current levels, especially if equity volatility remains high. Elevated volatility increases the value of a convertible bonds embedded call option which allows coupon rates to remain low, making financing via convertibles more affordable for cash constrained companies. In the event-driven strategies, we believe opportunities will continue to persist. CEF discounts remain attractive across all buckets when compared to the last 2 years. In SPACs, 6 registrations are pending listing in 2019 seeking to raise over $1 billion, which is in line with the start of 2018. Lastly, there are 17 spinoffs already in the pipeline for 2019, which is slightly above the 14 in the pipeline at this time last year. Irrespective of where the Fund deploys capital in 2019, we will continue to hedge systematic equity, credit, and interest rate market risks, with the intention of delivering uncorrelated excess returns.3

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

AQR EQUITY MARKET NEUTRAL FUND | | | | |

Dear Shareholders:
The AQR Equity Market Neutral Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investors with returns from potential gains of its long and short equity positions. The Fund is designed to be market- or beta-neutral, meaning the Fund seeks to achieve returns that are not closely correlated with the returns of the equity markets in which the Fund invests. Accordingly, the Fund, on average, intends to target a portfolio beta of zero over a normal business cycle. The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets (including borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities and equity related derivative instruments, such as swaps and futures.
Since the Fund targets a beta of zero, an appropriate benchmark is U.S. cash returns, which remain at relatively low levels. In 2018, the strategy’s performance was disappointing, as it returned -11.73%, bringing the annualized performance of the Fund’s Class I down to 5.05% since inception.
Two major market dynamics drove the performance of the Strategy in 2018: (1) pro-growth exuberance in Q1-Q3, followed by (2) a sharp de-risking by market participants in Q4. The net result was the first calendar year since 2001 in which cheap and improving stocks lagged expensive and deteriorating ones (i.e., the combination of Value and Momentum underperformed). In addition to these key drivers, our Investor Sentiment theme, which aims to capture the positioning of “smart money,” detracted, particularly during the Q4 de-risking. However, this difficult year ended on a good note, with all themes contributing positively to December performance.
Geographically, stocks in the U.S. detracted the most from overall returns, followed by Japan. At the sector level, stock selection within Information Technology and Industrials drove losses in 2018.
Securities remained globally diversified with nearly 40% of the Fund invested outside of the U.S. The Fund does take small industry views. As of the end of the year, our largest sector overweight was in Health Care, while our largest underweight was in Financials.
Good strategies can have very tough years without being broken. We continue to believe 2018 was such an instance. All the reasons, risk-based and behavioral, why we have expected our investment ideas to work over the long run – across geographies and market caps and in our live experience over roughly 20 years – remain applicable today. We remain confident in a recovery, though the path there may not be a straight line.

Dear Shareholders:
The AQR Global Macro Fund (the “Fund”) invests across a wide range of asset classes, including fixed income, currencies, commodities, equities and through the use of derivatives such as futures and swaps. Within each asset class, the Fund takes both relative value and directional positions. The targeted annualized volatility for the Fund is 10%, on average, which varies modestly over time based on attractiveness of opportunities within the different asset classes that the Fund trades. The Fund’s strategy trades predominately on macroeconomic news and trends, using a systematic, bottom-up approach that integrates both quantitative and discretionary trading signals.
Our investment philosophy is rooted in the insight that financial markets tend to underreact to macroeconomic news. This implies that macroeconomic news tends to have a persistent effect on asset prices. Our strategy seeks to take advantage of this tendency by investing across liquid markets on the basis of macroeconomic news and trends, an investment approach we callmacro momentum. We form macro momentum views by evaluating both quantitative and discretionary indicators across a variety of dimensions, from growth and inflation to monetary policy and international trade. By integrating both quantitative and discretionary indicators of macro momentum in a bottom-up, risk-controlled portfolio construction, we capture the best features of both approaches while maintaining the benefits of a systematic and disciplined process.
Macro momentum is at the core of our investment philosophy and we also consider price momentum, value and carry indicators. This multifactor approach provides a more holistic picture of each asset’s attractiveness than trading on macro momentum alone. Macro momentum tends to drive asset positioning (long or short) in our portfolio, however, the degree of agreement between macro momentum, on the one hand, and price momentum, value and carry, on the other, determines ultimate position sizing. The bottom-up portfolio construction – in which we evaluate the attractiveness of each asset across a large number of dimensions – allows us to build a highly diversified portfolio that does not depend on a few “best ideas.”
The Fund’s benchmark, the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch US 3-Month Treasury Bill Index, was up +1.88% over the course of 2018. The Fund outperformed this benchmark, with the Class I shares gaining +7.80% net of fees on the year. The Fund saw gains in all traded asset classes. Fixed income added +3.71% (developed bond markets up +2.36%, developed interest rates up +2.24% and slightly offset by yield curve down -0.88%), commodities added +2.34%, currencies added +1.15% (developed currencies up +1.22% and slightly offset by emerging currencies down -0.07%), and equities added +0.59% (developed equity markets up +0.47% and emerging equity markets up +0.12%).
In late 2017, the Trump administration signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which provided a meaningful cut to the corporate tax rate starting in 2018. This led to positive earnings revisions and aided a strong equity market rally in January of 2018. However, increased trade tensions between the U.S. and China and higher interest rates in the U.S. led to increased volatility as 2018 progressed. While volatility had remained low in early 2018, February saw a sharp reversal. Equities sold off in early February after higher than expected wage data in the U.S. increased concerns around margins. Equities were able to partially recover over the second half of February, in part triggered by a budget and debt ceiling deal. Better than expected earnings reports and associated strong technology and energy company performance drove most developed equity markets higher in the second and third quarters. Increased government debt issuance, partially driven by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and budget deal, aided fixed income yields higher in the first three quarters of the year.
U.S. economic outperformance was also a theme throughout most of 2018, as U.S. growth surprised to the upside, while European and Chinese growth surprised to the downside. Inflation in the U.S. breached the Federal Reserve’s target and the unemployment rate continued to fall further below the Federal Reserve’s estimate of the natural rate of unemployment. Accounting for the positive economic data, the Federal Reserve hiked its key policy rates four times in 2018 and suggested further interest rate hikes were likely in the coming year. The European Central Bank also took steps to remove accommodative monetary policy, announcing it would cease asset purchases at the end of 2018. However, Europe as a whole faced increased economic and political uncertainty as growth data slowed and as Italy saw the formation of a Eurosceptic government.

fell on global growth concerns and elevated levels of supply from key producers. Equities were weighed down by weaker than expected GDP growth data in China and Europe and broader cyclical concerns related to earnings, higher yields in the U.S. and a potential policy mistake by the Federal Reserve.
Developed Bond Markets
The Fund’s developed bond markets strategy was the largest positive contributor to the Fund’s performance. Gains were concentrated in a short U.S. Treasuries position in the first three quarters of the year and a short Japanese government bond position in the last two quarters of the year. The short U.S. Treasuries position was based on positive growth surprises and revisions, equity market outperformance, upward inflation revisions and negative price momentum. U.S. Treasuries underperformed over the period, weighed down by upside surprises to wage inflation, as well as increased fiscal deficit expectations in coming years. The short Japanese government bonds position was driven by upside inflation surprises, negative price momentum and unattractive carry and value. The Bank of Japan’s maintenance of yield curve control led to underperformance versus the cross-section, as other developed market bonds rallied in the last two quarters of the year on increased concerns around trade and global growth. Japanese government bonds further underperformed in August as the Bank of Japan adjusted its yield curve control policy to allow modestly higher 10-year Japanese government bond yields.
Commodities
The Fund’s commodities strategies performed well. A long position in WTI and Brent Crude oil in the first and second quarter of the year and a long natural gas position in November added to returns. The Fund was long WTI and Brent early in the year driven by positive GDP and industrial production forecast changes in oil consuming countries and bullish supply changes. Oil rallied over the period, aided by DOE data showing larger than expected inventory draws, supply disruptions and concerns around Iranian production, as the U.S. announced it would withdraw from a nuclear deal with Iran. The Fund was long natural gas in November based on forecast and realized weather factors and positive price momentum. Natural gas rallied meaningfully in November on larger than expected draws in inventory, forecasts for colder than expected weather and concerns around unseasonably low inventory levels.
Developed Currencies
The developed currency strategy added to returns. A short position in the Swedish krona in the first and second quarter and a long U.S. dollar position in the second, third and fourth quarter performed well. The short Swedish krona position was driven by equity market underperformance, negative earnings revisions, negative changes in terms of trade and unattractive carry. The Swedish krona underperformed in the first and second quarter on increased global trade uncertainty, lower than expected inflation data and a more dovish than expected Riksbank, which pushed back the expected timing of its first interest rate hike from the middle of 2018 to the end of 2018. The long U.S. dollar position was based on equity market outperformance, positive economic data surprises, positive changes in terms of trade and attractive price momentum and carry. Increasing interest rate differentials and policy divergence between the Federal Reserve and major foreign central banks drove outperformance in the dollar. Worse than expected economic data in a number of countries and better than expected economic data in the U.S. aided divergence.
Yield Curve
The Fund’s yield curve strategy was the largest detractor to the Fund’s performance. A steepener position in U.K. interest rate swaps and a flattener position in U.S. interest rate swaps performed poorly in the fourth quarter. The steepener position in U.K. interest rate swaps was supported by downside surprises to inflation, negative earnings revisions, carry and value. U.K. interest rate swaps flattened on a weaker British pound and continued Brexit uncertainty, which helped to weigh on longer term yields. The flattener position in U.S. interest rate swaps was based on positive growth surprises, relative flattening price momentum and carry. The U.S. curve flattened by less than the cross-section during the fourth quarter, as global growth concerns and concerns around a potential policy mistake by the Federal Reserve led to a sharp drop in shorter dated yields, as future Fed rate hikes were priced out.

AQR LONG-SHORT EQUITY FUND | | | | |
Michele Aghassi
Principal
Andrea Frazzini

Dear Shareholder:
The AQR Long-Short Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to provide higher risk-adjusted returns with lower volatility relative to global equity markets. It does so using three different sources of return: 1) the potential gains from its long and short equity positions, 2) overall exposure to equity markets, and 3) the tactical variation of its net exposure to equity markets. The strategy primarily seeks to add alpha via its long/short (market-neutral) equity portfolio, which includes the use of derivatives, such as swaps and futures. It also manages its beta relative to the MSCI World Index (“MSCI World”) to a long-term target of 0.5, and within a shorter-term range of 0.3 to 0.7, depending on our market views.
Both the long-short stock selection and the Fund’s overall exposure to global developed equity markets underperformed in 2018, with Class I returning -16.32% net of fees. The Fund’s custom benchmark (50% MSCI World + 50% ICE BofA Merrill Lynch US 3-Month Treasury Bill Index) delivered a return of -3.33% over this period. As such, the Fund underperformed its benchmark.
Two major market dynamics drove the performance of the Strategy in 2018: (1) pro-growth exuberance in Q1-Q3, followed by (2) a sharp de-risking by market participants in Q4. The net result was the first calendar year since 2001 in which cheap and improving stocks lagged expensive and deteriorating ones (i.e., the combination of Value and Momentum underperformed). In addition to these key drivers, our Investor Sentiment theme, which aims to capture the positioning of “smart money,” detracted, particularly during the Q4 de-risking. However, this difficult year ended on a good note, with all themes contributing positively to December performance. Geographically, stocks in the U.S. detracted the most from overall returns, followed by Japan.
At the sector level, stock selection within Information Technology and Industrials drove losses in 2018.
The Fund also experienced underperformance from its static long-term beta exposure of 0.5 to the MSCI World, given this index’s negative performance in 2018. However, our tactical market exposure (the desired deviation from a beta of 0.5) modestly contributed to performance.
Securities remained globally diversified, with nearly 40% of the Fund invested outside of the U.S. The stock selection strategy does take small industry views. As of the end of the year, our largest sector overweight was in Health Care, while our largest underweight was in Financials.
Good strategies can have very tough years without being broken. We continue to believe 2018 was such an instance. All the reasons, risk-based and behavioral, why we have expected our investment ideas to work over the long run – across geographies and market caps and in our live experience over roughly 20 years – remain applicable today. We remain confident in a recovery, though the path there may not be a straight line.

Dear Shareholder:
The AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund (the “Fund”) is built from the bottom up, seeking relative value and directional opportunities across more than two thousand positions in global stock, bond, commodity, and currency markets. The Fund is risk-balanced across three broad categories (Arbitrage, Stock Selection, and Macro) and underlying that are 9 classic hedge fund strategies. The Fund utilizes a variety of instrument types including, but not limited to, derivatives such as futures and swaps on equities of major developed markets, country specific equity indices, bonds, and currencies.
The Fund’s Class I shares returned -13.70% in 2018. For the year, the Fund realized +6.6% annualized daily volatility and a +0.1 beta to the MSCI World Index. The ICE BofA Merrill Lynch US3-Month Treasury Bill Index, which is the fund’s benchmark, had returned +1.88%. The hedge fund industry, as represented by the Credit Suisse Hedge Fund IndexSM (“CS Index”) and the HFRITM Fund Weighted Composite Index (“HFRI Index”) lost -3.19% and -4.49%, respectively, net of fees for the year. These indices have had correlations to global equities, as represented by the MSCI World Index, of +0.8 and +0.9 respectively, over the past 24 months, which is slightly higher than longer-term correlations, and detracted from performance during a year of equity market decline.
Seven of the Fund’s nine strategies had negative results for the year, though performance in two of the detracting strategies was close to flat. The stock selection strategies, in aggregate, were the largest source of losses and each contributed negatively. The macro strategy group also detracted, while the arbitrage strategy group contributed positively.
Following is a more detailed review of the three strategy groups:
Stock Selection Strategies – Dedicated Short Bias (“DSB”) (-6.3%), Equity Market Neutral (“EMN”)(-4.4%) and Long/Short Equity (-0.8%) all detracted. Losses in the first three quarters of the year were roughly half attributed to EMN, a strategy focused on differentiated stocks by valuation with considerations for growth quality and low-risk measures. Embedded value themes were effectively the sole driver of EMN losses for most of this year but saw a rebound in the fourth quarter. In contrast to EMN, DSB losses continued apace for almost the entire year, losing in 9 of 11 months prior to December’s gain. Long/Short Equity losses were comparably modest, and mostly driven by valuation based themes.
Arbitrage Strategies – Both Event Driven (+2.2%) and Convertible and Volatility Arbitrage (+0.4%) contributed to performance this year. Gains from merger arbitrage portion of Event Driven were not concentrated in any particular deal but were rather widespread, largely driven by successful deal completions. The strategy was also helped by a benign rate of adverse deal terminations. Gains in Convertible and Volatility Arbitrage were similarly broad-based.
Macro Strategies – As a group, macro strategies generated negative returns as all strategies in the group detracted. Managed Futures was the largest source of losses (-2.3%) within the group and particularly struggled during the fourth quarter. Managed Futures losses were incurred across all asset groups but were most significant in currencies. Global Macro (-1.9%) was negatively impacted by relative value positioning in equity indices as well as currencies. Emerging Markets (-0.2%) detracted modestly as losses in stock selection and equity indices were largely offset by gains in currencies. Fixed Income Relative Value (-0.2%) was essentially flat for the year, as losses from the relative value bonds strategy were nearly offset by gains in the remaining sub-strategies.

AQR RISK-BALANCED COMMODITIES STRATEGY FUND | | | | |

Dear Shareholder:
The AQR Risk-Balanced Commodities Fund (the “Fund”) Class I shares returned-17.58% in 2018, with each sector detracting from performance. Base metals were the greatest detractor, falling mostly due to concerns about China demand, as Chinese economic data disappointed and the continuing trade war between the U.S. and China weighed on growth expectations. Energies also fell significantly, despite having gained through the first three quarters of the year, weighed down by concerns around slower global growth and increased production in the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and Russia. Grains fell on strong production data and, like base metals, were impacted by the escalating U.S./China trade war. Most softs fell on favorable growth conditions, with the exception of cocoa, which rose on strong demand and poor weather in key growing regions. Precious metals fell on the year due to rising real rates in the U.S., though prices somewhat recovered in the final quarter of the year as global growth concerns led investors to seek safe-haven assets.
The Bloomberg Commodity TR Index (“BCOM”), the Fund’s benchmark, was down-11.25%, leading to underperformance of-6.33%. Despite this year’s underperformance, the Fund has still outperformed over a three-year period (1.99% vs. 0.30%) and since inception(-7.67% vs.-8.34%). Note that, while we use BCOM as a benchmark, we do not aim to replicate it. The Fund’s construction is sufficiently different that we would expect a difference in the performance of the Fund and this benchmark. Specifically, we expect the magnitude of performance differences to be 10% per year on average, in either direction.
The underperformance in 2018 relative to the passive BCOM benchmark was due primarily to the volatility targeting, as the Fund’s volatility targeting required more than 100% notional exposure due to the low volatility of the underlying assets, leading to losses as commodities underperformed. We aim to maintain a target level of volatility by varying the level of exposure in the Fund. This reduces the likelihood that short periods can determine outcomes over long investment horizons. In years like 2018, when asset volatilities are low and performance is negative, the Fund is more likely to underperform the benchmark as it increases its risk exposure to commodities. This is consistent with the thesis of volatility targeting and does not change our view on its merits. Tactical models offset some of this underperformance, with gains driven primarily by tactical views in energies and softs. The underperformance to the benchmark was also reduced due to the Fund’s allocation to deferred – rather than front-month – futures contracts.
The Fund began the year at a volatility target of 15.1% due to low asset volatilities and a leverage cap on the Fund. Atyear-end, the Fund was no longer constrained due to the leverage cap but had bearish tactical views, so the volatility target increased to 17.1%, just below its 18% long run target.
The strategic portion of the portfolio returned-20.73%, and tactical tilts added 3.16%. The strategic return in this attribution is the return to a long-only portfolio with risk-balanced sector weights and an annual volatility target of 18% (subject to drawdown control). The tactical returns are the returns from the active views in the individual commodities and sectors. The Fund obtains exposure to the individual commodities and sectors by investing in commodity-linked derivative instruments, such as swaps and futures.
The tactical portion of the Fund gained on the year, with much of the positive returns coming from relative value signals within petroleum and softs, more than offsetting losses in base metals. Within petroleum, value contributed much of the positive returns. Value was bullish crude oil and bearish the refined products, which benefited the Fund in the first half of the year as inventory levels were lower than expected for crude and higher than expected for products. Momentum signals gained in softs as they took long positions in cocoa (which outperformed) and short positions in sugar and coffee (which underperformed). In base metals, momentum was the primary detractor. Positive performance from individual asset timing models contributed positively to tactical returns.

AQR RISK-BALANCED COMMODITIES STRATEGY FUND | | | | |
Atyear-end, the Fund’s tactical positioning reflected generally bearish views on commodities, with the largest underweight in base metals and the sole overweight in precious metals. The Fund finished its sixth full year down-17.58%. The Fund’s volatility targeting led it to underperform the BCOM benchmark by-6.33%, with active tilts and deferred contract allocations mitigating losses. While short term results can be noisy, we believe the Fund’s broader diversification, strong risk management and active commodity selection can ultimately deliver more steady volatility and strong returns across market environments in the long term.

Dear Shareholder:
Through the use of derivatives such as futures and swaps as well as securities, the AQR Risk Parity Fund (the “Fund”) invests across a wide variety of global markets – including, during the period presented in this report, developed- and emerging-market equities, global developed and emerging nominal bonds, global developed inflation-linked government bonds commodities, the credit spreads of corporate and sovereign debt and developed and emerging market currencies – in an attempt to build a truly diversified portfolio where all markets matter, but no one market matters too much. Risk parity investing involves allocating to investments by risk, which means that instruments with less risk will generally be allocated more capital than instruments that are deemed riskier. As markets move through different risk regimes, the portfolio is dynamically adjusted with the goal of keeping overall portfolio risk and the balance of risk across asset classes fairly steady through time. We believe this leads to more consistent results across macroeconomic environments, reduces tail risks, and enables the investor to remain invested through difficult market environments. In addition to adjusting position sizes to control for increasing or decreasing risk expectations, we also overlay modest active tilts based on AQR’s proprietary expected-return models. These tilts allow the portfolio to get over- and underweight 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 targeted annualized volatility for the Fund ranges between 7% and 13% based on our perceptions of tactical opportunities within the different asset classes it trades. We expect the Fund to average 10% annualized volatility over time. The Fund started the year targeting a volatility level below its long-term average despite being bullish most asset classes due to the Fund’s exposure limits. These limits are designed to prevent the fund from taking unusually large positions when volatility is forecasted to be very low. At the end of the year, the Fund had bearish views on equities, commodities, inflation-linked bonds and credit spreads and bullish views on nominal bonds. Due to mostly bearish views on asset classes, the Fund ended the year targeting a volatility level below its long-term average.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class I shares returned-6.96% and realized an annualized volatility of 9.0%. During this period, the Fund’s benchmark consisting of 60% S&P 500®/40% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned-2.35% at an average realized volatility of 10.0%. The Fund’s net assets across all share classes were over $256 million at the end of 2018. The Fund experienced losses in three of its four major risk categories for the full year: equities detracted-3.5%, inflation-sensitive assets detracted-2.7%, credit-related assets detracted-2.3% and fixed income contributed +1.5%. Tactical tilts contributed modestly to performance with gains spread across fixed income, inflation-sensitive assets and credit-related assets, while active views on equities mildly detracted.
Equities detracted as major equity indices were down across developed and emerging markets. Equity markets were weighed down by weaker-than-expected economic data outside of the U.S., global trade tensions and concerns related to a hawkish Federal Reserve. Nominal bonds contributed over the year, most notably German bunds, which benefited from weaker-than-expected economic data, a relatively dovish ECB and increased political risk. Inflation-sensitive assets detracted from the Fund on poor commodity performance, while inflation-linked bonds contributed modestly. Commodities experienced losses across most sectors, but most notably in energies, which suffered significantly in the fourth quarter on increased production and inventories, as well as concerns surrounding future production and economic growth. Base metals also suffered from weak economic data in China and global trade tensions. Credit markets, like equities, fell on global growth concerns. Emerging currencies weakened against a stronger U.S. dollar, and were mixed against the euro.
Tactical tilts contributed positively on the year, as losses from active views on equities were more than offset by gains from active views elsewhere. Tactical tilts in equities detracted from performance, driven mostly from a bearish trend reversal early in the year and, to a lesser extent, poor performance from relative-value views. Active views on nominal bonds contributed to performance, with bearish asset-class-timing signals profiting early in the year as bonds fell. Tactical tilts in commodities gained across relative-value, trend following and asset-class-timing signals. Active views on credit spreads

gained on asset-class-timing views in the second half of the year. Emerging currency views gained on relative value and asset-class-timing. As of the end of 2018, the portfolio was tactically overweight in fixed income and underweight in equities, inflation-sensitive assets and credit-related assets. Total exposures ended the year higher than where they began, despite increased forecasted risk in equities and commodities, due to the bullish active view on nominal bonds.
As most major asset classes fell on the year, it is no surprise the Fund underperformed. While nominal bonds gained mildly, lower prices in equity, commodity and credit markets drove the disappointing performance of the Fund. Despite the year’s losses, we remain confident in the value of a risk balanced approach. One of the strengths of the Fund is the limited, humble assumptions necessary to believe in the strategy. If investors believe that taking market risk in the major asset classes is rewarded on average, that the risk-adjusted returns to these asset classes are more similar than they are different and that they tend to pay off at somewhat different times, then the case for our investment approach is a sound one. We remain confident that the diversification benefits of the Fund provide a sound allocation for the wide variety of potential market environments we may face in the coming years.
As of 1/30/2019, AQR Risk Parity Fund will become AQR Multi-Asset Fund.

Dear Shareholder:
Through the use of derivatives such as futures and swaps as well as securities, the AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund (the “Fund”) invests across a wide variety of global markets – including, during the period presented in this report, developed- and emerging-market equities, global developed nominal bonds, global developed inflation-linked government bonds and commodities – in an attempt to build a truly diversified portfolio where all markets matter, but no one market matters too much. Risk parity investing involves allocating to investments by risk, which means that instruments with less risk will generally be allocated more capital than instruments that are deemed riskier. As markets move through different risk regimes, the portfolio is dynamically adjusted with the goal of keeping overall portfolio risk and the balance of risk across asset classes fairly steady through time. We believe this leads to more consistent results across macroeconomic environments, reduces tail risks and enables the investor to remain invested through difficult market environments. In addition to adjusting position sizes to control for increasing or decreasing risk expectations, we also overlay modest asset tilts based on AQR’s proprietary expected-return models. These tilts allow the portfolio to get over- and underweight a broad array of global markets. The ultimate goal is to build a portfolio that, in the long run, will deliver higher returns at a risk level similar to that of traditional portfolios by combining a better asset allocation with return-boosting tactical tilts.
The Fund is generally expected to remain long all of the markets in which it invests. The targeted annualized volatility for the Fund is 15%, on average, which varies over time based on our perceptions of tactical opportunities within the different asset classes it trades. The Fund started the year targeting a volatility level below its long-term average despite being bullish most asset classes due to the Fund’s exposure limits. These limits are designed to prevent the fund from taking unusually large positions when volatility is forecasted to be very low. At the end of the year, the Fund had bearish views on equities, commodities and inflation-linked bonds and bullish views on nominal bonds. Due to mostly bearish views on asset classes, the Fund ended the year targeting a volatility level below its long-term average.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class I shares returned-10.76% and realized an annualized volatility of 13.0%. During this period, the Fund’s benchmark consisting of 60% S&P 500®/40% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned-2.35% at an average realized volatility of 10.0%. The Fund’s net assets across all share classes were over $25 million at the end of 2018. The Fund experienced losses in two of its three major risk categories for the full year: equities detracted-6.8%, inflation-sensitive assets detracted-5.7% and fixed income contributed +1.8%. Tactical tilts contributed modestly to performance with gains spread across fixed income and inflation-sensitive assets, while active views on equities mildly detracted.
Equities detracted as major equity indices were down across developed and emerging markets. Equity markets were weighed down by weaker-than-expected economic data outside of the U.S., global trade tensions and concerns related to a hawkish Federal Reserve. Nominal bonds contributed over the year, most notably German bunds, which benefited from weaker-than-expected economic data, a relatively dovish ECB and increased political risk. Inflation-sensitive assets detracted from the Fund on poor commodity performance, while inflation-linked bonds contributed modestly. Commodities experienced losses across most sectors, but most notably in energies, which suffered significantly in the fourth quarter on increased production and inventories, as well as concerns surrounding future production and economic growth. Base metals also suffered from weak economic data in China and global trade tensions.
Tactical tilts contributed positively on the year, as losses from active views on equities were more than offset by gains from active views elsewhere. Tactical tilts in equities detracted from performance, driven mostly from a bearish trend reversal early in the year and, to a lesser extent, poor performance from relative-value views. Active views on nominal bonds contributed to performance, with bearish asset-class-timing signals profiting early in the year as bonds fell.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Fund’s Class I shares returned -6.22% and realized an annualized volatility of 8.7%. During this period, the Fund’s benchmark consisting of 60% S&P 500®/40% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned-2.35% at an average realized volatility of 10.0%. The Fund’s net assets across all share classes were over $65 million at the end of 2018. The Fund experienced losses in two of its three major risk categories for the full year: equities detracted-4.2%, inflation-sensitive assets detracted-3.5% and fixed income contributed +1.5%. Tactical tilts contributed modestly to performance with gains spread across fixed income and inflation-sensitive assets, while active views on equities mildly detracted.

Dear Shareholder:
The AQR Style Premia Alternative Fund (the “Fund”) Class I shares returned-12.35% in 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Fund realized +8.0% annualized daily volatility and a +0.2 correlation to global equities, as represented by the MSCI World Index. The ICE BofA Merrill Lynch US 3-Month Treasury Bill Index, which is the Fund’s benchmark, returned +1.88% over this period.
The Fund invests in several different asset groups, including through the use of derivatives such as futures and swaps: equities of major developed markets, country specific equity indices, fixed income and interest rate futures, currencies and commodities. The Fund employs market-neutral, long-short strategies across these asset groups based on four investment styles:
Value – The tendency for cheap assets to outperform expensive ones
Momentum – The tendency for an asset’s recent relative performance to continue in the future
Carry – The tendency for higher-yielding assets to provide higher returns than lower-yielding assets
Defensive – The tendency for lower-risk and higher-quality assets to generate higher risk-adjusted returns
Losses occurred in all asset groups described above and two of the four styles traded in the Fund. Value(-15.1%) was the largest style detractor with Momentum(-5.3%) also having a negative impact, while Defensive (+7.4%) was the only meaningful contributor and Carry (+0.6%) gained modestly. Among asset groups, equities of major developed markets ended the year with the largest losses, driven by Value, while Momentum not only failed to provide a positive offset, but exacerbated overall losses. Helpful contributions were provided by Defensive within equities of major developed markets. Performance in country specific equity indices was unique in that all styles detracted during the year, making it the second worst performing asset group. Its developed markets portfolio drove losses with Japan and more generally Asian markets being heavily impacted by the uncertainty surrounding trade policy between the U.S. and key trading partners. Performance in Fixed Income was also unique in that, despite significantly poor performance in Value, the aggregate Fixed Income portfolio was roughly flat, as the remaining three styles produced a near equal offset. The developed market bonds (“Bonds”)sub-strategy within Fixed Income was the primary detractor, particularly due to the Value style. Value’s performance in Bonds was very concentrated, with its long U.S. and short Germany exposure explaining about 90% of Value’s negative return contribution. Currencies and Commodities were each down modestly, and were each driven primarily by fourth quarter losses in Momentum. Currencies losses were driven by long positions in the Canadian and Australian dollars, most of which occurred in the fourth quarter. Commodity losses were largely a function of energy exposure, with spot prices of WTI crude oil and Brent declining nearly-40% during the fourth quarter over growing concern thatU.S-China trade disputes and recent Federal Reserve actions may be weakening global demand.

Dear Shareholder:
The AQR Style Premia Alternative LV Fund (the “Fund”) Class I shares returned-5.21% in 2018. For the year ended December 31, the Fund realized +4.2% annualized daily volatility and a +0.2 correlation to global equities, as represented by the MSCI World Index. The BofA Merrill Lynch3-Month U.S Treasury Bill IndexSM, which is the fund’s benchmark, returned +1.88% over this period.
The Fund invests in several different asset groups, including through the use of derivatives such as futures and swaps: equities of major developed markets, country specific equity indices, fixed income and interest rate futures, currencies and commodities. The Fund employs market-neutral and long-short strategies across these asset groups based on four investment styles:

Momentum – The tendency for an asset’s recent relative performance to continue in the future
Carry – The tendency for higher-yielding assets to provide higher returns than lower-yielding assets
Defensive – The tendency for lower-risk and higher-quality assets to generate higher risk-adjusted returns
Losses occurred in four of the asset groups and two of the four styles traded in the Fund. Value(-6.1%) was the largest style detractor with Momentum(-3.1%) also having a negative impact, while Defensive (+3.8%) was the only meaningful contributor and Carry (+0.2%) gained modestly. Among asset groups, equities of major developed markets ended the year with the largest losses, driven by Value, while Momentum not only failed to provide a positive offset, but exacerbated overall losses. Helpful contributions were provided by Defensive within equities of major developed markets.

Its developed markets portfolio drove losses with Japan and more generally Asian markets being heavily impacted by the uncertainty surrounding trade policy between the U.S. and key trading partners. Performance in Fixed Income was also unique in that, despite significantly poor performance in Value, the aggregate Fixed Income portfolio was roughly flat, as the remaining three styles produced a near equal offset. The developed market bonds (“Bonds”)sub-strategy within Fixed Income was the primary detractor, particularly due to the Value style. Value’s performance in Bonds was very concentrated, with its long U.S. and short Germany exposure explaining about 90% of Value’s negative return contribution. Currencies and Commodities were each down modestly, and were each driven primarily by fourth quarter losses in Momentum. Currencies losses were driven by long positions in the Canadian and Australian dollars, most of which occurred in the fourth quarter. Commodities losses were largely a function of energy exposure, with spot prices of WTI crude oil and Brent declining nearly-40% during the fourth quarter over growing concern thatU.S-China trade disputes and recent Federal Reserve actions may be weakening global demand.

AQR VOLATILITY RISK PREMIUM FUND | | | | |

Dear Shareholder:
AQR Volatility Risk Premium Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to deliver equity market-like returns with lower overall risk than global equity markets. It invests globally in a broad range of instruments – including, but not limited to, equities, futures, currency futures and forwards, options and swaps. The Fund combines two distinct sources of potential return:
Volatility Risk Premium Strategy – The Fund seeks to capture the volatility risk premium across global developed equity and bond markets by selling (i.e., writing) call and put options to buyers seeking financial insurance in exchange for a premium, or payment, from the option buyer.
Systematic Equity Strategy – The Fund invests approximately 50% of its total assets in an actively managed portfolio of global equities that seeks to outperform the MSCI World Index while targeting a consistent level of risk relative to this benchmark.
The Fund is not designed to be market neutral. Over the long term, the Fund targets a portfolio beta of 0.5, typically within a range of range of 0.4 and 0.6, to the MSCI World Index.
The AQR Volatility Risk Premium Fund Class I Shares returned -4.34% since its inception on November 1, 2018. The Fund’s custom benchmark (50% MSCI World Index + 50% ICE BofA Merrill Lynch US 3-Month Treasury Bill) delivered a return of -3.52% over this period. As such, the Fund underperformed its benchmark.
The Volatility Risk Premium Strategy was close to flat in November and down moderately in December. Losses were concentrated in the Equity Volatility sleeve of the strategy, while the Bond Volatility sleeve was close to flat. Within the Equity Volatility sleeve, the S&P 500 was the primary detractor due to a quick increase in market volatility. For reference, during the month of December the VIX started at 18.1, peaked as high as 36.1, and ended the month at 25.4.
The major market dynamic driving performance of the Stock Selection Strategy in November and December was a sharp de-risking by market participants. Our Investor Sentiment theme, which aims to capture the positioning of “smart money,” detracted, particularly during November when this de-risking was most pronounced. However the year ended on a good note for the strategy, with all themes contributing positively to December performance, offsetting November’s losses.

DEFINITIONS:
Alpha: is a measure of performance on a risk-adjusted basis. Alpha takes the volatility (price risk) of a mutual fund and compares its risk-adjusted performance to a benchmark index. The excess return of the fund relative to the return of the benchmark index is a fund’s alpha.
Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index: is a broad-based bond index comprised of government, corporate, mortgage and asset-backed issues, rated investment grade or higher, and having at least one year to maturity. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index.
Beta:is a measure of volatility of a security or portfolio in comparison to an index or the market as a whole. A beta of 1.0 means the security or portfolio will generally move in tandem with the index or market it is being compared to. A beta greater than 1.0 means the security or portfolio will be more volatile and a beta less than 1.0 means the security or portfolio will be less volatile than the index or market it is being compared to.
Bloomberg Commodity Index Total ReturnSM:is a broad-based index used to represent the most frequently-traded global commodity futures. It was formally known as the Dow Jones – UBS Commodity Index. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index.
ICE BofA Merrill Lynch US 3-Month Treasury Bill Index:is designed to measure the performance of high-quality short-term cash-equivalent investments. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index.
Correlation:is computed into what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1. Perfect positive correlation (+1) implies that as one security moves, either up or down, the other security will move in lockstep, in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation (-1) means that if one security moves in either direction the security that is perfectly negatively correlated will move in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the movements of the securities are said to have no correlation; they are completely random.
Credit:This strategy purchases attractively priced securities on a hedged basis, typically around event induced capital flows.
Credit Suisse Hedge Fund IndexSM:is an asset-weighted benchmark that seeks to measure hedge fund performance and provide the most accurate representation of the hedge fund universe. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index.
HFRITMFund Weighted Composite Index:is a global, equal-weighted index of over 2,000 single-manager funds.
Momentum:An investment style wherein an asset is deemed to have positive momentum if it has performed well in the past relative to other assets in the same universe.
MSCI World Index: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. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index.
S&P 500®:is a capitalization weighted index designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index.
Volatility:is a statistical measurement of up and down asset price fluctuations over time. If an asset has rapid dramatic price swings, its “volatility” will likely be relatively high. If prices are consistent and rarely change, “volatility” of that asset will likely be relatively low. “Volatility” can be measured as the standard deviation of an asset with a specific time horizon. It is often used to quantify the risk of such asset over a time period, typically expressed in annualized terms.

AQR Funds (the “Trust”), was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on September 4, 2008. The Trust is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

The remaining active series are reported in separate books. AQR Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser of each Fund. The Adviser has retained CNH Partners, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of the Adviser, to serve as an investment sub-adviser to the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund and certain strategies of the AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund.
AQR Volatility Risk Premium Fund commenced operations on November 1, 2018.
The investment objective of the AQR Alternative Risk Premia Fund, the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund, the AQR Equity Market Neutral Fund, the AQR Global Macro Fund, the AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund, the AQR Style Premia Alternative Fund and the AQR Style Premia Alternative LV Fund is to seek positive absolute returns.

2. Consolidation of Subsidiaries
The Consolidated Schedules of Investments, Statements of Assets and Liabilities, of Operations, of Changes in Net Assets, of Cash Flows and the Financial Highlights of the AQR Global Macro Fund, AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund, AQR Risk-Balanced Commodities Strategy Fund, AQR Risk Parity Fund, AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund, AQR Risk Parity II MV Fund, AQR Style Premia Alternative Fund and AQR Style Premia Alternative LV Fund (“Consolidated Funds”) include the accounts of AQR Global Macro Offshore Fund Ltd., AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Offshore Fund Ltd., AQR Risk-Balanced Commodities Strategy Offshore Fund Ltd., AQR Risk Parity Offshore Fund Ltd., AQR Risk Parity II HV Offshore Fund Ltd., AQR Risk Parity II MV Offshore Fund Ltd., AQR Style Premia Alternative Offshore Fund Ltd. and AQR Style Premia Alternative LV Offshore Fund Ltd., respectively, which are wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Subsequent references to the Funds within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements collectively refer to the Consolidated Funds and their Subsidiaries.
Each Consolidated Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets (on a tax basis) in its respective Subsidiary, which acts as an investment vehicle in order to affect certain investment strategies consistent with the Funds’ investment objectives and policies. The Funds expect that they will achieve a significant portion of their exposure to commodities and commodities-related investments through investment in the Subsidiaries. Unlike the Funds, the Subsidiaries may invest without limitation in commodities and commodities-related investments.

3. Significant Accounting Policies
The Funds are investment companies and apply specialized accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard CodificationTopic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to reflect current period presentation.

Notes to Financial Statements | | December 31, 2018 |
Use of Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Adviser to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.
Valuation of Investments: All securities and other investments are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 5.
Cash: Cash comprises U.S. Dollar and foreign currency deposits held at a custodian bank(s) which may exceed insured limits. The Funds are subject to risk to the extent that the institutions may be unable to fulfill their obligations.
Due to/from Brokers:Due to/from brokers represents cash balances on deposit with, or cash balances owed to, the Funds’ prime brokers and counterparties. The Funds are subject to credit risk should the prime brokers and counterparties be unable to meet their obligations to the Funds.
Foreign Currency Translation:The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. Dollars. The Funds’ assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars at the prevailing exchange rate at the valuation date. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The Funds’ income earned and expense incurred in foreign denominated currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of such activity.
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the foreign exchange rates on investments and derivatives from the fluctuations that result from changes in the market prices of investments and derivatives held or sold during the period. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized gain (loss) from transactions in investment securities and derivatives and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and derivatives on the Statements of Operations.
Realized gains (losses) from settlement of foreign currency and foreign currency transactions reported on the Statements of Operations arise from the disposition of foreign currency and a change between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books on the transaction date and the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency and foreign currency translations reported on the Statements of Operations arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and assets and liabilities (other than investments) denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Certain fixed-income investments may pay interest in-kind, which represents contractual interest accrued and increases the principal balance. Dividend income (expense) net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the ex-date dividend notification. Upon notification from issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain. For inflation-linked bonds, interest income (expense) is earned on the principal amount and adjusted for the changes in the relevant consumer price index.
Multi-class Operations:Each class of shares offered by the Trust has equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different sub-transfer agency and distribution fees and shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares. Income, non-class specific expenses, realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of relative net assets at the beginning of each day. The Funds are charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to each Fund. Trust level expenses are allocated among the Funds based on the ratio of average net assets or other reasonable methodology.
The Funds record distributions received in excess of income from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates (if actual amounts are not available) and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Funds adjust the estimated amounts of components of distributions (and consequently net investment income) as necessary once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.
The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, capital gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest.
Offering Cost: Offering costs, including professional fees, printing fees and initial registration, are amortized over a period not longer than twelve months from the date the Funds commenced operations.

Federal Income Taxes:Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If so qualified, each Fund will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders. Accordingly no provision for Federal income tax is necessary.
The Adviser evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds are required to analyze all open tax years. Open tax years are those years that are open for examination by the relevant income taxing authority. The Funds have concluded that there is no tax liability/benefit resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax expense will materially change in the next twelve months. The returns of the Funds for the prior three fiscal years as well as current year, or since inception if shorter, are open for examination. As of December 31, 2018, the Funds had no examinations in progress.
For Federal tax purposes, taxable income for each Consolidated Fund and its Subsidiary are calculated separately. The Subsidiaries are classified as controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”) under the Code and each CFCs taxable income is included in the calculation of the relevant Consolidated Fund’s taxable income. Net losses of the Subsidiaries are not deductible by the Consolidated Funds either in the current period or future periods. Each of the CFCs has a fiscal year end of December 31st for financial statement consolidation purposes and a nonconforming tax year end of November 30th.
Distributions to Shareholders:Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds intend to declare and distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions will be determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income (loss) and realized gain (loss) reported on the Funds’ financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been recorded to paid in capital.
Indemnification:In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into various agreements that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as any potential exposure involves future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
4. Securities and Other Investments
Limited Purpose Cash Investment Fund: Certain Funds may invest in the Limited Purpose Cash Investment Fund (the “LPCI Fund”), which is managed by UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS AM”). The LPCI Fund is a registered investment company under the 1940 Act and is subject to the money market regulations as prescribed in Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the LPCI Fund’s eligibility requirements, shares of the LPCI Fund are only available for sale to the Adviser and funds advised by the Adviser. Those Funds investing in the LPCI Fund indirectly bear their share of the advisory and operating expenses borne by the LPCI Fund. Section 2a-3 of the 1940 Act defines an affiliated person as, among other things, a company in which a Fund owns at least 5% of the outstanding voting securities. The LPCI Fund may be considered an affiliated person of some of the Funds in the Trust. Further, pursuant to the 1940 Act, control is presumed to exist when, among other things, a Fund owns more than 25% of the outstanding voting securities of portfolio company. However, the Funds do not invest in the LPCI Fund for the purpose of exercising significant influence over its management, board or policies. A summary of transactions with each affiliated person is included in the Schedules of Investments, if applicable.
Convertible Securities: Certain Funds invest in preferred stocks and fixed-income securities which are convertible into common stock. Convertible securities may be converted either at a stated price or rate within a specified period of time into a specified number of shares of common stock. By investing in a convertible security, the Funds may participate in any capital appreciation or depreciation of a company’s stock, but to a lesser degree than if they had invested in that company’s common stock. Convertible securities rank senior to common stock in a corporation’s capital structure and, therefore, entail less risk than the corporation’s common stock. The Funds may attempt to hedge some of their investments in convertible debt securities by selling short the issuer’s common stock. The premiums attributable to the conversion feature are not amortized.
High Yield Securities: Certain Funds invest in lower-quality debt securities. Investments in lower-rated securities or unrated securities of comparable quality tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities causing greater price volatility. These instruments involve a greater risk of loss due to default by the issuer because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors’ claims.

Inflation-Indexed Bonds: Certain Funds may invest in inflation-indexed bonds which are adjusted for inflation through periodic increases or decreases in the security’s interest accruals, face amount, or principal redemption value, by amounts corresponding to the rate of inflation as measured by an index.
Loan Participations, Assignments and Unfunded Commitments: Certain Funds invest in loan participations and assignments. When a Fund purchases a loan participation, the Fund enters into a contractual relationship with the lender or a third party selling such participations (“Selling Participant”), but not the borrower. In this case, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the borrower and the Selling Participant and any other persons inter-positioned between the Fund and the borrower (“Intermediate Participants”). In contrast, when one of the Funds purchases an assignment, the contractual relationship is with the borrower and the credit risk assumed by the Fund is only with the borrower. Although certain loan participations or assignments are secured by collateral, the Fund could experience delays or limitations in realizing such collateral or have its interest subordinated to other indebtedness of the obligor.
The Funds may also enter into unfunded commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. These unfunded commitments represent a future obligation in full, even though a percentage of the commitment may not be utilized by the borrower. These types of investments may include standby financing commitments, such as revolving credit facilities, which obligate the Fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. The value of the unfunded portion of the investment is determined using a pro-rata allocation, based on its par value relative to the par value of the entire investment. In addition, loan participations and assignments are vulnerable to market conditions such that economic conditions or other events may reduce the demand for loan participations and assignments and certain loan participations and assignments which were liquid, when purchased, may become illiquid.
As of December 31, 2018, AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund’s unfunded commitments were as follows:
| | |
| |
BORROWER | | COMMITMENT AMOUNT |
DEMC, Ltd Class A-2 | | $196,227 |
The Fund has no unrealized gain or loss on the unfunded commitment.
Defaulted Securities and Distressed Investments:Certain Funds held defaulted securities or other securities which were placed in non-accrual status as the collection of a portion or all of the interest has been deemed to be uncollectible. The securities have been identified on the Schedules of Investments. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivable when the collection of a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is probable. The Funds may invest in distressed investments, which are issued by companies that are, or might be, involved in reorganizations or financial restructurings, either out of court or in bankruptcy.
Securities Sold Short: Certain Funds may engage in short sales, which is when a Fund sells securities it does not own as a hedge against some of its long positions and/or in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security. When one of the Funds makes a short sale, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker through which it made the short sale. The Fund may have to pay a fee to borrow the particular security and may be obligated to remit any interest or dividends received on such borrowed securities. Dividends declared on short positions are recorded on the ex-date as an expense. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, which could be unlimited in magnitude, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale if the market price at termination is less than or greater than, respectively, the proceeds originally received. The Fund is also subject to the risk that it may be unable to reacquire a security to terminate a short position except at a price substantially in excess of the last quoted price. The Fund is also subject to risk of loss if the broker were to fail to perform its obligations under the contractual terms. Liabilities for securities sold short are reported at market value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the change in market value is recorded as unrealized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations.
The Funds are required to pledge cash or liquid securities to the broker as collateral for securities sold short. Collateral requirements are calculated daily based on the current market value of the short positions. Daily market fluctuations and trading activity could cause the value of securities sold short to be more or less than the value of the collateral segregated. Cash deposited with the broker for collateral for securities sold short is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and securities segregated as collateral are denoted in the Schedules of Investments. The Funds may receive or pay the net of the following amounts: (i) a portion of the income from the investment of cash collateral; (ii) the broker’s fee on the borrowed securities; and (iii) a financing charge for the difference in the market value of the short position and cash collateral deposited with the broker. This income or fee is calculated daily based upon the market value of each borrowed security and a variable rate that is dependent on the availability of the security.

Futures Contracts: Certain Funds invest in futures contracts as part of their primary investment strategy and to equitize its cash flows. Investments in futures may increase or decrease exposure to a particular market. In the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of a futures commission merchant that holds margin on behalf of the Funds, the Funds may not receive the return of the entire margin owed to the Funds, potentially resulting in a loss. A change in market value of an open futures contract is recorded in the Statements of Operations as net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts. A realized gain (loss) represents the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed or expired, and is reported in the Statements of Operations. The use of long futures contracts subjects the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the variation margin on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The use of short futures contracts subjects the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. Futures contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts:Certain Funds buy and sell forward foreign currency exchange contracts, which are agreements between two parties to buy and sell currencies at a set price on a future date. These contracts are used to protect against a decline in value relative to the U.S. Dollar of the currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated or quoted (or an increase in the value of a currency in which securities that a Fund intends to buy are denominated, when a Fund holds cash reserves and short term investments), or for other investment purposes. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked to market daily and the change in market value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Funds could be exposed to risk if the value of the currency changes unfavorably, if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the Funds are unable to enter into a closing position. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in U.S. Dollars without the delivery of foreign currency. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Swap Contracts:Certain Funds engage in various swap transactions to manage risks within their portfolios or as alternatives to direct investments. Swap transactions may be privately negotiated in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market where payments are settled through direct payments between a Fund and the counterparty. By contrast, certain swap transactions are subject to mandatory central clearing (“centrally cleared swaps”). These swaps are executed through a derivatives clearing member (“DCM”), acting in an agency capacity, and submitted to a central counterparty (“CCP”), in which case all payments are settled with the CCP through the DCM. For centrally cleared swaps, the Schedules of Investments includes the cumulative appreciation (depreciation), while only the current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For credit default and interest rate contracts, an up-front payment received by a Fund is recorded as a liability and an up-front payment made by a Fund is recorded as an asset on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Up-front payments are amortized over the term of the contract. If there is no upfront payment or receipt, market value will equal unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Payments received (paid) by a Fund are recorded as realized gains (losses) from the expiration at a periodic reset date or closing of swap contracts in the Statements of Operations. The Funds’ use of swap contracts create additional risks beyond those that would exist if the Funds invested in the underlying positions directly.
Total Return Swap Contracts:Certain Funds invest in total return swaps to obtain exposure to the underlying referenced instruments, obtain leverage or attain the returns from ownership without actually owning the underlying position. Total return swaps are two-party contracts that generally obligate one party to pay the positive return and the other party to pay the negative return on a specified reference security, security index or index component during the period of the swap. Total return swap contracts are marked to market daily and the change, if any, is recorded as net change in appreciation (depreciation) on swap contracts in the Statements of Operations. Total return swaps normally do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets. If the counterparty to a total return swap contract defaults, a Fund’s risk of loss consists of the net amount of payments the Fund is contractually entitled to receive, if any. The use of long total return swap contracts subject the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The use of short total return swaps subject the Funds to potential unlimited loss. Periodic payments received (paid) by the Funds are recorded as realized gains (losses) from the expiration or closing of swap contracts in the Statements of Operations. Total return swap contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Total Return Basket Swaps:Certain Funds may enter into a total return basket swap agreement to obtain exposure to a portfolio of long and/or short securities. Under the terms of the agreement, the swap is designed to function as a portfolio of direct investments in long and short equity

or fixed income positions. The absolute notional value of the total return basket swap represents the accumulated notional value of the underlying long components and absolute notional value of the short components held within the total return basket swap at period end. The notional value of each component represents the market value at period end. The Funds have the ability to trade in and out of long and short positions within the swap and will receive all of the economic benefits and risks equivalent to direct investments in these positions such as: capital appreciation (depreciation), corporate actions, and dividends and interest received and paid, all of which are reflected in the swap value. The swap value also includes financing charges and credits related to the notional values of the long and short positions and cash balances within the swap. Finance charges and credits are based on defined market rates plus or minus a specified spread. Positions within the swap are reset periodically, and financing costs are reset generally monthly. During a reset, any realized gains (losses) from positions, income, proceeds from corporate actions and accrued financing costs may become available for cash settlement between the Funds and the swap counterparty. Prior to the reset, these amounts are included as a component of the swap value in Net cash and other receivables (payables). Cash settlement in and out of the swap may occur at a reset date or any other date, at the discretion of the Funds and the counterparty, over the life of the agreement, and is generally determined based on limits and thresholds established as part of the Master Agreement between the Funds and the counterparty. The maturity dates are measured from the commencement of investment in each underlying portfolio swap positions. A change in the market value of a total return basket swap contract is recognized as net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap contracts in the Statements of Operations. Cash settlements between a Fund and the counterparty are recognized as net realized gain (loss) from expiration or closing of swap contracts in the Statements of Operations. Total return basket swap contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Credit Default Swap Contracts:Certain Funds enter into credit default swap contracts to provide a measure of protection against risk of loss following a default, or other credit event in respect of issuers within an underlying index or a single issuer, or to gain credit exposure to an underlying index or issuer. In a credit default contract, the protection buyer typically makes an up-front payment and a periodic stream of payments to a counterparty, the protection seller, in exchange for the right to receive a contingent payment upon the occurrence of a credit event on the reference obligation or all other equally ranked obligations of the reference entity. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring and obligation acceleration. The credit default contracts are marked to market daily and the change, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Variation margin is accounted for as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed, at which time the gains or losses are realized. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the difference between the par value and market value of the reference obligation, net of any proportional amount of the up-front payment, is recorded as a realized gain or loss on swap contracts in the Statements of Operations.
Implied credit spreads are used to determine the value of credit default swap contracts and reflect the cost of buying/selling protection, which may include up-front payments made to enter into the contract. Therefore, higher spreads indicate a greater likelihood that a seller will be obligated to perform (i.e., make payment) under the swap contract. 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.
Risks of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. A 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 specific Fund and the counterparty. The central clearing house acts as the counterparty to each centrally cleared swap transaction, therefore credit risk is limited to the failure of the clearing house. Where a Fund is a seller of protection, the maximum potential amount of future payments the Fund may be required to make is equal to the notional amount of the relevant credit default contract. The Fund’s risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value, as recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilites. Credit default contracts outstanding, including their respective notional amounts at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Interest Rate Swaps:Certain Funds enter into interest rate swaps as part of their investment strategy. Interest rate swaps generally involve agreements to exchange fixed and floating payment obligations, without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. Interest rate swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market or may be executed in a multilateral or other trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange (centrally cleared swaps). Periodic payments received (paid) by the Funds are recorded as realized gains (losses). Interest rate swaps are marked to market daily and the change is recorded as unrealized gain (loss) on swap contracts in the Statements of Operations. The Funds’ risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value, as recorded in the Schedule of Investments. Non-deliverable interest rate swap contracts are settled with the counterparty in U.S. Dollars without the delivery of foreign currency. Centrally cleared interest rate swaps may have forward effective dates. The amortization of the upfront premiums (if applicable) and payments related to these swap contracts begin on the effective date of the contract. Interest rate contracts outstanding, including their respective notional amounts at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Repurchase Agreements: Certain Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. In a repurchase agreement, a Fund takes possession of an underlying debt obligation (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and a Fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. Under the terms of a master repurchase agreement, the underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Fund’s custodian or designated sub-custodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. Investments in repurchase agreements are reflected as assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest earned is recorded as a component of interest income on the Statements of Operations. In periods of increased demand for collateral, a Fund may pay a fee for receipt of collateral, which may result in interest expense to the Fund. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, a Fund has the right to use the collateral to offset losses

incurred. If the counterparty should default, a Fund may seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price. Repurchase agreements outstanding at period end are included within each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Reverse Repurchase Agreements:Certain Funds may enter into reverse repurchase agreements under the terms of a master repurchase agreement. A Fund sells a security that it holds to a counterparty with a contemporaneous agreement to repurchase the same security at an agreed-upon price and date. Reverse repurchase agreements are reflected as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest payments made on reverse repurchase agreements are recorded as a component of interest expense on the Statements of Operations. In periods of increased demand for the security, a Fund may receive a fee for use of the security by the counterparty, which may result in interest income to the Fund. A Fund monitors collateral market value for the reverse repurchase agreement, including accrued interest, throughout the lives of the agreements, and when necessary, delivers or receives cash or securities in order to manage credit exposure and liquidity. If the counterparty defaults or enters insolvency proceeding, realization or return of the collateral to the Fund may be delayed or limited. Reverse repurchase agreements outstanding at period end, if any, including the underlying debt obligation (collateral) assigned to each agreement, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
The collateral held in relation to the repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements was in U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities with a maturity greater than 90 days in the amount of $6,727,597 for AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund.
Options:Certain Funds may 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, a 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 a Fund to unlimited risk of loss. Written covered call options limit the upside potential of a security above the strike price. Put options written subject a Fund to risk of loss if the value of the security declines below the exercise price minus the put premium. A 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.
The maximum financial exposure for written put options is limited to the number of contracts written and the related strike prices. The number contracts, strike price, and expiration date for each written put option contract is disclosed in each respective Fund’s Schedule of Investments, as applicable.
Master Agreements:Certain Funds are parties to master netting arrangements with counterparties (“Master Agreements”). Master Agreements govern the terms of certain like transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying payment netting mechanisms across multiple transactions and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Since different types of transactions have different mechanics and are sometimes traded by different legal entities of a particular counterparty organization, each type of transaction may be covered by a different Master Agreement, resulting in the need for multiple Master Agreements with a counterparty and its affiliates.
As the Master Agreements are specific to unique operations of different asset types, they allow the Funds to i.) close out and net their total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single Master Agreement with a counterparty, ii.) exit transactions through means other than sale, such as through a negotiated agreement with the Funds’ counterparty, a transfer to another party, or close out of the position through execution of an offsetting transaction.
Master Repurchase Agreements govern repurchase, or reverse repurchase transactions, relating to government bonds between certain Funds and select counterparties. Master Repurchase Agreements maintain provisions for initiation, income payments, events of default, and maintenance of collateral.
Prime Broker Arrangements may be entered into to facilitate execution and/or clearing of equities, bonds, equity options or short sales of securities between certain Funds and selected counterparties. These arrangements provide financing terms for such transactions and include guidelines surrounding the rights, obligations, and other events, including, but not limited to, margin, execution, and settlement. These agreements maintain provisions for payments, maintenance of collateral, events of default, and termination. Margin and other assets delivered as collateral are typically held by the prime broker and offset any obligations due to the prime broker.
Customer Account Agreements govern cleared derivatives transactions and exchange-traded futures and options transactions. Upon entering into an exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivative contract, the Funds are required to deposit with the relevant clearing organization cash or securities, which are referred to as the initial margin. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited is recorded as Deposits with brokers for centrally cleared swaps and Deposits with brokers for futures contracts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For exchange-traded futures or centrally cleared swaps, initial margin is posted, and daily changes in fair value are recorded as a payable or receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Variation margin on centrally cleared swaps and

Variation margin on futures contracts. Variation margin is determined separately for exchange-traded futures and centrally cleared swaps and cannot be netted.
International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements and Credit Support Annexes (“ISDA Master Agreements”) govern OTC derivative transactions entered into between certain Funds and a counterparty. ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, netting of settlement payments, agreements to deliver supporting documents, collateral transfer and events of default or termination. Events of termination include a decline in the Fund’s net assets below a specified threshold over a certain period of time or a decline in the counterparty’s long-term and short-term credit ratings below a specified level. In each case, upon occurrence, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all OTC contracts outstanding, including the payment of any losses and costs resulting from such early termination, as reasonably determined by the terminating party. Any decision by a party to elect early termination could be material to the financial statements and impact a Fund’s future derivative activity. Collateral pledged by a Fund for OTC derivatives pursuant to a Master Agreement is segregated by the Fund’s custodian and identified as an asset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities either as a component of Investments in securities, at value (securities) or in Due from brokers (cash).
Collateral and margin requirements differ according to the terms of each type of Master Agreement. Collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure net of existing collateral already in place governed under the relevant Master Agreement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold. Collateral can be in the form of cash, debt securities issued by the U.S. government, money market funds and other securities as agreed to by the Fund and the applicable counterparty, or as permitted by the clearing house or exchange.
Collateral posted for the benefit of a Fund pursuant to a Master Agreement is held by a custodian of the Fund. Amounts which can be invested or repledged, are presented in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Segregation of fund’s collateral in the custodian account helps mitigate counterparty risk. Collateral received is reflected as a liability within Due to brokers in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities subject to master netting agreements on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
5. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
Investment Valuation Policies:The Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of the Funds’ shares are valued as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day that the NYSE is open (each a “Business Day”). The NAV per share of each class within each Fund is computed by dividing the total current value of the assets of such Fund attributable to a class, less class liabilities, by the total number of shares of that class of the Fund outstanding at the time the computation is made. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. For purposes of calculating the NAV, portfolio securities and other financial derivative instruments are valued on each Business Day using valuation methods as adopted by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”).
The Adviser has established a Valuation Committee (the “VC”) to assist the board with oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds’ investments. This includes administering, implementing and overseeing the continual appropriateness of valuation approaches applied and the determination of adjustments to the fair valuation of portfolio securities and other financial derivative instruments in good faith after consideration of market factor changes and events affecting issuers. The Adviser performs a series of activities to provide reasonable assurance of the accuracy of prices including: (i) periodic vendor due diligence meetings, review of approaches and techniques, new developments and processes at vendors, (ii) review of daily comparison of security valuation versus prior day for all securities that exceeded established thresholds, (iii) review of third party model prices against internal model prices, and (iv) review the results of back testing and reports for the Board on the results of fair value determinations.
Where market quotes are readily available, fair market value is generally determined on the basis of official closing prices or the last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from pricing services or established market makers. Where market quotations are not readily available, or if an available market quotation is determined not to reflect fair value, securities or financial derivatives are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the VC in accordance with the valuation procedures approved by the Funds’ Board. Using fair value to price a security may require subjective determinations about the value of a security that could result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their net assets. It is possible the estimated values may differ significantly from the values which would have been used had an active ready market for the investments existed. These differences could be material.
Fair Value Hierarchy:Various inputs are utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels as follows:
Level 1 — Inputs using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board or persons acting at their direction that are used in determining the fair value of investments.
An investment asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement. The objective of fair value measurement remains the same even when there is a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique used. The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation Techniques:The following inputs and techniques may be used by the Funds to evaluate how to classify each major category of assets and liabilities into the appropriate fair value hierarchy in accordance with GAAP.
Equity securities, including securities sold short, rights, exchange options, warrants, Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”) and closed-end investment companies, are valued at the last quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market, or composite in which each security trades and are therefore classified Level 1. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs which are also classified as Level 1.
An equity for which no sales are reported, as in the case of a security that is traded in the over-the-counter market or a less liquid listed equity, is valued at its last bid price (in the case of short sales, at the ask price) and is therefore classified Level 2. In addition, equities traded outside of the Western Hemisphere are classified Level 2 because they are fair valued daily based on the application of a fair value factor (unless the Adviser determines that use of another valuation methodology is appropriate). The Funds apply daily fair value factors, furnished by an independent pricing service, to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign market and the close of the NYSE. The pricing service uses statistical analysis and quantitative models to adjust local market prices using factors such as subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, American Depositary Receipts, futures contracts and exchange rates in other markets in determining fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its net asset value.
Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less) and other investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs and are also classified within Level 2. These include certain U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, and less liquid listed equities. Corporate and sovereign bonds and other fixed-income instruments are valued at estimated fair value using the latest bid prices or evaluated quotes furnished by independent pricing services, as well as quotations from counterparties and other market participants. Evaluated quotes are generally based on a matrix system, which may consider such factors as quoted prices for identical or similar assets, yields, maturities and ratings and are not necessarily reliant on quoted prices. Short-term debt investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. These investments are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently or not at all. Level 3 instruments include illiquid securities. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the Funds may use one or more valuation approaches (e.g., the market approach, the income approach, or the cost approach), including proprietary models for which sufficient and reliable data is available. Within Level 3, the market approach generally is based on the technique of using comparable market transactions, while the use of the income approach includes the estimation of future cash flows discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or durations of any restrictions on the disposition of the investment or adjusted as appropriate for credit, market and/or other risk factors.
The inputs used by the Funds in estimating the value of Level 3 investments include the original transaction price, recent transactions in the same or similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity or debt capital markets, changes in financial ratios or cash flows, benchmark yield curves, credit spreads, estimated default rates, underlying collateral, and other unique security features. Level 3 investments may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the Adviser in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the Funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the fair value of the investment.
Exchange-traded derivatives, such as futures contracts and exchange-traded option contracts, are typically classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on whether or not they are deemed to be actively traded. Futures and option contracts that are listed on national exchanges and are freely transferable are valued at fair value based on their last sales price on the date of determination on the exchange their constitutes the principal market. For option contracts, if no sales occurred on such date, at the mid price on such exchange at the close of business on such date. Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a multilateral trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are valued on daily basis using quotations provided by an independent pricing service.

OTC derivatives, including forward contracts and swap contracts, are valued by the Funds on a daily basis using observable inputs, such as quotations provided by an independent pricing service, the counterparty, dealers or brokers, whenever available and considered reliable.
The value of each total return swap contract and total return basket swap contract is derived from a combination of (i) the net value of the underlying positions, which are valued daily using the last sale or closing price on the principal exchange on which the securities are traded; (ii) financing costs; (iii) the value of dividends or accrued interest; (iv) cash balances within the swap; and (v) other factors, as applicable.
The U.S. Dollar value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts is determined using current forward currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing service.
Credit default swap contracts and interest rate swap contracts are marked to market daily based on quotations as provided by an independent pricing service. The independent pricing services aggregate valuation information from various market participants to create a single reference value for each credit default swap contract and interest rate swap contract.
Generally, a valuation model is used consistently for similar derivative types. In instances where models are used, the value of an OTC derivative depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument as well as the availability and reliability of observable inputs. Such inputs typically may include market prices for reference securities, yield curves, credit spreads, measures of volatility, prepayment rates and implied correlations of such inputs which are obtained from outside brokers and/or pricing services when available. Certain OTC derivatives, such as generic forwards, swaps and options, have inputs which can generally be corroborated by market data and are therefore classified within Level 2. Those OTC derivatives that have less liquidity or for which inputs are unobservable are classified within Level 3. While the valuations of less liquid OTC derivatives may utilize some Level 1 and/or Level 2 inputs, they also may include other unobservable inputs which may be considered significant to the fair value determination.
The Funds value the repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements they have entered based on the respective contract amounts, which approximate fair value. As such, repurchase agreements are carried at the amount of cash paid plus accrued interest receivable (or interest payable in periods of increased demand for collateral), and reverse repurchase agreements are carried at the amount of cash received plus accrued interest payable (or interest receivable in periods of increased demand for collateral).

The fair values of Level 3 investments are based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Adviser’s determination of assumptions that market participants might reasonably use in valuing the securities. Changes in significant unobservable inputs could cause significant changes in valuation to individual securities and in aggregate. Fair value determinations and valuation of investments that are not actively trading involve judgment and may differ materially from valuations that would have been used had greater market activity occurred.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of a Fund’s investments in common stocks, corporate bonds, convertible bonds, convertible preferred stocks and warrants potentially include credit spread, liquidity discount, earnings multiples and volatility. Significant increases in the credit spread or liquidity discount inputs in isolation would potentially result in a significantly lower fair value measurement, whereas an increase in volatility generally results in a higher fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the credit spread would be accompanied by a directionally-similar change in the assumptions used for the volatility and liquidity discount. Investments in common stocks potentially include liquidity discounts, theoretical values, book to value analysis and/or broker quotes. Significant changes in any of these inputs would significantly change the fair value measurement of the position.

The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to wash sale loss deferrals and other book and tax differences including, mark to market on PFICs, mark to market on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, mark to market on regulated futures and options contracts, mark to market and income on certain swaps, certain late year loss deferrals, straddle loss deferrals, loss deferrals on unsettled short sales, gain/(loss) recognition on constructive sales, investments in partnerships, investments in inflation protected securities, deemed dividends from convertible securities, Cayman subsidiary taxable income, CPDI accrued income, capital loss carryforwards and finance charges on equity swaps.
As of December 31, 2018, the effect of permanent book/tax reclassifications resulted in increase (decrease) to the components of net assets as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | |
FUND | | TOTAL DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS (LOSS) | | | PAID-IN CAPITAL | |

AQR Volatility Risk Premium Fund | | | 12,733 | | | | (12,733 | ) |
For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to the difference in tax treatment of certain non-deductible expenses, net operating losses, and income from investments in the Cayman subsidiary. The result of operations and net assets were not affected by the reclassifications.

Pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreements between the Sub-Adviser, the Adviser and the Trust, the Adviser will pay the Sub-Adviser an annual fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.50% and 0.35% of the average daily net assets for the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund and the AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund, respectively.
10. Distribution Plan
The Trust has adopted a Plan of Distribution (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Class N shares of the Funds. The Plan allows for the payment of services related to the distribution and servicing of these shares at a rate of up to 0.25% per annum of the average daily net asset value of the Class N shares of the Funds.
11. Principal Risks and Concentrations
With the exception of AQR Alternative Risk Premia Fund, AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund, AQR Equity Market Neutral Fund, and AQR Long-Short Equity Fund, the Funds are non-diversified. Because the Funds may invest in securities of a smaller number of issuers, the Funds may be more exposed to the risks associated with and developments affecting an individual issuer than a fund that invests more widely, which may, therefore, have a greater impact on the Funds’ performance.
The investment techniques and strategies utilized by the Funds, including investments made on a shorter-term basis or in derivative instruments or instruments with a maturity of one year or less at the time of acquisition, may result in frequent portfolio trading and high portfolio turnover. High portfolio turnover rates will cause the Funds to incur higher levels of brokerage fees and commissions, which may reduce performance, and may cause higher levels of current tax liability to shareholders in the Funds.
In the normal course of business the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). A Fund’s investments in financial derivatives and other financial instruments may expose the Fund to various elements of market risks which include interest rate, foreign currency, equity and commodity risks.
The market values of equities, such as common stocks and preferred securities or equity related investments such as futures and options, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company. They may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries. The Funds may invest in illiquid investments and may experience difficulty in selling those investments in a timely manner at the price that it believes the investments are worth. Prices may fluctuate widely over short or extended periods in response to company, market or economic news. Markets also tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices. This volatility may cause

| | AQR Funds | | | | | | Annual Report | | | | | | December 2018 | | |
| | | |

| | |
Notes to Financial Statements | | December 31, 2018 |
the Fund’s net asset value to experience significant increases or decreases over short periods of time. If there is a general decline in the securities and other markets, the net asset value of a Fund may lose value, regardless of the individual results of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests.
Exposure to the commodities markets may subject a Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative investments and exchange-traded notes may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity.
Fixed income securities are subject to the risk that the securities could lose value because of interest rate changes. For example, bonds tend to decrease in value if interest rates rise. Fixed income securities with longer maturities sometimes offer higher yields, but are subject to greater price shifts as a result of interest rate changes than fixed income securities with shorter maturities. Fixed income securities are generally subject to the risk that the issuer may be unable to make principal and interest payments when they are due.
Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. The Funds may lose money if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply or otherwise change in a manner not anticipated. 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).
Investment in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); the imposition of economic sanctions or other government restrictions; differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. To the extent a fund’s investments in a single country or a limited number of countries represent a higher percentage of the Fund’s assets, the Fund assumes the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries will have a significant impact on its investment performance and it may be subject to increased price volatility.
Emerging markets are riskier than more developed markets because they tend to develop unevenly and may never fully develop. Investments in emerging markets may be considered speculative. Emerging markets are more likely to experience hyperinflation and currency devaluations, which adversely affect returns to U.S. investors. In addition, many emerging securities markets have far lower trading volumes and less liquidity than developed markets.
Currency risk arises from the possibility that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates will affect the value of cash balances held in foreign currencies and non-U.S. denominated financial instruments. The liquidity and trading value of foreign currencies could be affected by global economic factors, such as inflation, interest rate levels, and trade balances among countries, as well as the actions of sovereign governments and central banks. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons.
The Funds may have investments that appreciate or decrease significantly in value over short periods of time. This may cause the Funds’ net asset value per share to experience significant increases or declines in value over short periods of time, however, all investments long-term or short-term are subject to risk of loss.
In addition to market risk, the Funds may be exposed to the risk that one or more securities in the Funds’ portfolio will decline in price, or fail to pay interest or principal when due, because the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial status (credit risk). Credit risk is measured by the loss a Fund would record if the major financial institution or other counterparties failed to perform pursuant to terms of their obligations. Certain Funds may primarily maintain cash balances at one or several major financial institutions that may exceed federally insured limits and as such each of the Funds have credit risk associated with such financial institutions. In general, lower rated securities carry a greater degree of risk that the issuer will lose its ability to make interest and principal payments, which could have a negative impact on the Funds’ net asset value or dividends. The Funds minimize credit risk by monitoring credit exposure and collateral values, and by requiring additional collateral to be deposited with or returned to the Funds when deemed necessary.
Similar to credit risk, a Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions will default. Financial assets, which potentially expose a Fund to counterparty risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. By using derivative instruments, the Funds may be exposed to the risk that derivative counterparties may not perform in accordance with the contractual provisions offset by the value of any collateral received. The Funds’ exposure to credit risk associated with counterparty non-performance is limited to the unrealized gains inherent in such transactions that are recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The counterparties to the Funds’ derivative investments may include affiliates of the Funds’ clearing brokers and other major financial institutions. While the Funds use multiple clearing brokers and counterparties, a concentration of credit risk may exist because of balances held and transactions with a limited number of clearing brokers and counterparties. The Funds minimize counterparty credit risk through credit limits and approvals, credit monitoring procedures, executing master netting arrangements and managing margin and collateral requirements, as appropriate.

Notes to Financial Statements | | December 31, 2018 |
In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into agreements with certain counterparties for derivative transactions. A number of each Fund’s Master Agreements contain provisions that require each Fund to maintain a predetermined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of a Fund’s net asset value over specified time periods. If a Fund was to violate such provisions, the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions. If such events are not cured by the Fund or waived by the counterparties, they may decide to curtail or limit extension of credit, and the Fund may be forced to unwind its derivative positions which may result in material losses.
The Funds, at times, utilize substantial leverage in their investment program. Such leverage may take the form of trading on margin, investing in derivative instruments that are inherently leveraged, entering into reverse repurchase transactions and entering into other forms of direct and indirect borrowings. There is no guarantee that the Funds’ borrowing arrangement or other arrangements for obtaining leverage will continue to be available, or if available, will be available on terms and conditions acceptable to the Funds. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase funding costs, limit access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to the Funds. In addition, a decline in market value of the Funds’ assets may have particular adverse consequences in instances where they have borrowed money based on the market value of those assets. A decrease in market value of those assets may result in the lender (including derivative counterparties) requiring the Funds to post additional collateral or otherwise sell assets at a time when it may not be in the Funds’ best interest to do so.
The Adviser relies heavily on quantitative models and information and data supplied by third parties. When models and data prove to be incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon may expose the Funds to potential risks. Such models may produce unexpected results, which can result in losses for the Funds.
Periodically, the Funds may be a party to legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Funds are currently not subject to any actions that either individually or in the aggregate are expected to have a material impact on their results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
Please refer to the Funds’ prospectuses for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the Funds.
12. Interfund Lending
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Funds may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program (the “Interfund Lending Program”) to the extent such participation is consistent with each Fund’s investment objective and investment policies. This program allows the Funds to borrow and lend to other AQR Funds that permit such transactions. All loans under the Interfund Lending Program are for temporary cash management or emergency purposes. Interest earned or paid on an interfund lending transaction will be based on the average of certain current market rates, as calculated according to a formula established by the Board. No Fund may borrow or lend money through the program unless it receives a more favorable rate than is typically available for comparable borrowings from a bank or investments in U.S. Treasury bills, respectively.
A lending Fund may lend in aggregate up to 15% of its net assets, but may not lend more than 5% of its net assets to any one borrowing Fund through the Interfund Lending Program. A borrowing Fund may not borrow through the Interfund Lending Program or from any other source more than 33 1/3% of its total assets. If a borrowing Fund’s total outstanding borrowings exceed 10% of its total assets, the Fund must secure each of its outstanding borrowings through the Interfund Lending Program with collateral equal to 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan.
The Funds are not required to borrow money under the Interfund Lending Program and may borrow under other arrangements, including their existing bank line of credit. This could result in a Fund borrowing money at a higher interest rate than it would have received under the Interfund Lending Program.
During the reporting period, the Funds did not utilize the Interfund Lending Program.
13. Line of Credit
Effective February 23, 2018 and terminating on March 22, 2019, the Trust renewed a $350,000,000 committed syndicated line of credit (the “Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as the Administrative Agent. Prior to February 23, 2018 the line of credit commitment amount was $300,000,000 at substantially similar terms. Borrowing, if any, under this arrangement bears, as incurred, interest at the sum of (a) 1.0% per annum plus (b) the higher of (i) the Federal Funds Rate or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate, which is paid monthly. The maximum loan amount available to a Fund is the lesser of an amount which will not exceed the borrowing limits set forth in the Fund’s Prospectus and/or Registration Statement and will not cause the asset coverage ratio for any borrowings by a Fund to drop below the required amount under the Agreement (between 300-500% per Fund). The Agreement is subject to an annual commitment fee which is payable in arrears on a quarterly basis. In the event of a draw upon the line of credit, liquid assets of the borrowing Fund may be designated as collateral until its loan is repaid in full. The Funds did not have any borrowings for the period ended December 31, 2018.
The unused amount available on the line of credit as of December 31, 2018 is $344,600,000.

15. New Accounting Pronouncements and Regulations
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted Final Rule Release No. 33-10231, Investment Company Reporting Modernization in conjunction with Final Rule Release No. 33-10233, Investment Company Liquidity Risk Management Programs and Final Rule Release No. 33-10234, Investment Company Swing Pricing. Collectively, these rules modernize and enhance the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The new rules will allow the SEC to more effectively collect and use data reported by fund, enhance disclosure regarding fund liquidity and redemption practices, and permit open-end funds to offer swing pricing, subject to board approval and review. The amendments to Regulation S-X were applied to the Funds’ financial statements. The adoption had no effect on the Funds’ net assets or results of operations.
In August 2018, the SEC adopted Final Rule Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification. The new rule amends certain disclosure requirements that the SEC determined to be redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded, in light of other SEC disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP, or changes in the information environment. The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors. The amendments to Regulation S-X were applied to the Funds’ financial statements in the current period. The adoption had no effect on the Funds’ net assets or results of operations.
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities (“ASU 2017-08”), which shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The update applies to securities with explicit, non-contingent call features that are callable at fixed prices and on preset dates. The Funds are required to apply ASU 2017-08 for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management has determined that the adoption of ASU 2017-08 will not have a material impact on the financial statements.
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments generally modified the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements such that it removes the following requirements: 1) the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; 2) the requirement to disclose the Funds’ policy for timing of transfers between levels; and, 3) the requirement to disclose the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 also added the requirement to disclose how weighted average is calculated when the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements is required to be disclosed, in addition to making various other clarifying amendments to the disclosure guidance. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments related to the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value

measurements should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted. The Funds have elected to early adopt ASU 2018-13 and the amendments are reflected in the current year financial statements.
16. Subsequent Events
The Board of AQR Funds has approved certain changes to the AQR Risk Parity Fund. In particular, the Board approved a change in the name of the Fund from “AQR Risk Parity Fund” to “AQR Multi-Asset Fund.” The Board also approved revisions to the principal investment strategies of the Fund. These changes became effective on January 30, 2019.
The Funds have evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of this report and have determined that there are no material events other than those noted above.

Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodians, transfer agents and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Fund Expense Examples (Unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Trust, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid for the Period Ending 12/31/18” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. 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.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds by comparing this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. The Fund will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the expenses incurred by the underlying investments in which the Fund invests. These expenses are not included in the table.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical example is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) |
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 November15-16, 2018 to consider the continuation of the: (i) Third Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement, as amended, between AQR Capital Management, LLC (“AQR”) and the AQR Funds on behalf of the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund, AQR Equity Market Neutral Fund, AQR Global Macro Fund, AQR Long-Short Equity Fund, AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund, AQR Risk-Balanced Commodities Strategy Fund, AQR Risk Parity Fund, AQR Risk Parity II MV Fund, AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund, AQR Style Premia Alternative Fund, AQR Style Premia Alternative LV Fund and certain other AQR Funds; (ii) Second Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement between AQR and the AQR Funds (the “Amendment”), to reflect a 5 basis point reduction in the advisory fee for the AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund, effective on May 1, 2019; (iii) Investment Management Agreement II, as amended, between AQR and the AQR Funds on behalf of the AQR Alternative Risk Premia Fund and certain other AQR Funds; (iv) the Second Amended and Restated InvestmentSub-Advisory Agreement between AQR and CNH Partners, LLC (“CNH” or the“Sub-Adviser”) on behalf of the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund and the InvestmentSub-Advisory Agreement between AQR and theSub-Adviser for the AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund (collectively, the“Sub-Advisory Agreements”); and (v) Fifth Amended and Restated Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursement Agreement on behalf of the Funds (the “A&R Fee Waiver Agreement”). Each of the aforementioned series of the Trust may be referred to herein as a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds.” The Investment Management Agreement (including the Amendment), the Investment Management Agreement II and theSub-Advisory Agreements are referred to collectively herein as the “Management Agreement,” as applicable and as the context suggests.
In addition, the Board Members who are not “interested persons” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”), held a separate telephonic meeting on November 9, 2018 with independent legal counsel and representatives of AQR to review the materials provided and the relevant legal considerations (together with thein-person meeting held on November15-16, 2018, the “Meetings”). In accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested and considered materials furnished by AQR and CNH relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement. These materials included: (i) memoranda and materials provided by AQR describing the personnel and services provided to the Funds; (ii) memoranda and materials provided by AQR, describing the personnel and services provided by CNH to the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund and AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund; (iii) performance information for the Funds relevant to the consideration of the Management Agreement; (iv) information independently compiled and prepared by Morningstar Associates, LLC (“Morningstar”) and Broadridge relating to the Funds’ fees and expenses and performance relative to peers; (v) financial information for AQR and a profitability analysis showing the profitability of AQR and CNH from providing services to the Funds; and (vi) a discussion of the compliance programs of AQR and CNH and the regulatory exam histories of each. AQR and CNH are referred to herein as the “Adviser,” as applicable.
At thein-person meeting held on November15-16, 2018, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Management Agreement for an additionalone-year period for each Fund. In approving the continuation of the Management Agreement for a Fund, the Board considered all factors it believed to be relevant with respect to the Fund, including, among other factors: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser; (b) the investment performance of the Fund and the Adviser’s portfolio management; (c) the management fee and the cost of the services provided and profits realized by the Adviser from the relationship with the Funds and the fund complex; (d) economies of scale;(e) fall-out benefits; and (f) other factors.
The Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, such as AQR’s services related to the valuation and pricing of the Funds’ portfolio holdings, direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds and advice from independent legal counsel with respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Board’s consideration. The Board did not identify any particular information as controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weightings to the various items considered.
In considering the renewal of the Management Agreement for each Fund, the Board did not view the Management Agreement as creating third-party beneficiary rights in shareholders to enforce the terms of the Management Agreement against the Adviser.
The following is a summary of the Board’s discussion and views regarding the factors it considered in evaluating the Management Agreement:
The Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided by the Adviser. The Board Members reviewed the services that the Adviser provides to the Funds under the Management Agreement, including certain administrative services. The Board considered the size and experience of the Adviser’s staff, its use of technology, and the Funds’ stated investment objectives, strategies and processes. In connection with the investment advisory services provided to the Funds, the Board Members took into account discussions they had regularly as part of quarterly Board meetings with representatives of the Adviser regarding the management of each Fund’s investments in accordance with the Funds’ stated investment objectives and policies and the types of transactions that are entered into on behalf of the Funds. During these discussions, the Board Members asked questions of, and received answers from, representatives of the Adviser regarding the formulation and implementation of the Funds’ investment strategies, their efficacy and potential risks.
In addition to the investment advisory services provided to the Funds, the Board Members considered that AQR also provides shareholder and administrative services, has responsibility for overseeing CNH with respect to the AQR Diversified Arbitrage Fund and AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund, provides oversight of Fund accounting, provides risk management, provides compliance oversight, oversees third party service providers and provides assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements and other services necessary for the operation of the Funds. In particular, the Board Members considered the compliance, shareholder and administrative services provided to the Funds by AQR under the Management Agreement. The Board recognized that AQR’s oversight of CNH was extensive, including portfolio risk monitoring, compliance testing, trade monitoring and execution, liquidity risk management, and negotiation of agreements with derivative counterparties. The Board Members recognized the enterprise risk of AQR and CNH involved in providing services to the Funds over time.

Finally, the Independent Board Members had several opportunities to meet outside the presence of Fund management in executive session separately with independent legal counsel to discuss and consider the Management Agreement. Based on the presentations and materials at the Meetings and their familiarity gained through regular Board presentations over time, the Board concluded that the services provided to the Funds by AQR and, as applicable, CNH pursuant to the Management Agreement were of a high quality and benefit the Funds.
Investment Performance of the Funds and the Adviser’s Portfolio Management. The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund. In particular, the Independent Board Members considered the investment performance of the Funds relative to their stated objectives and the Adviser’s efforts to achieve such goals as well as the performance of the Funds relative to funds identified by Morningstar as their peers. The Board was cognizant of the fact that in some cases Fund performance was challenged over certain measurement periods in comparison to Morningstar peers or benchmarks. The Board considered that Morningstar comparisons may be of limited use in some cases due to the differences between the way a Fund is managed from other funds in the Morningstar category and peer group. In other cases, underperformance in relation to Morningstar peers may be due to differences in a Fund’s investment parameters compared to its peer funds, including risk limits, volatility targets, model limits on exposure to a particular country, and the Fund’s investment universe. Finally, the use of drawdown control and internal risk protections may affect a Fund’s performance in relation to its peers or benchmark. The Board noted the underperformance of several Funds during theone-year period ended September 30, 2018, which had been the subject of specific presentations by AQR, at the Board’s request, at regular Board meetings during the year. The presentations, which addressed in detail the drivers of underperformance, supported a conclusion that the Funds were being managed consistent with their stated policies and strategies.. Certain Funds also underperformed their Morningstar Category peers for the three-year period, which in some cases may have been impacted by theone-year performance. The Board also was cognizant of significant redemptions from certain Funds over the prior year due to underperformance. The Board also considered the Adviser’s performance in managing other registered investment companies and private funds, noting that other funds the Adviser manages might have investment objectives, policies or restrictions different from those of the Funds. Based on these factors, the Board Members determined that the performance of each Fund is consistent with its stated objectives and strategies and the Adviser’s investment process.
The Management Fee and the Cost of the Services and Profits Realized by the Adviser from the Relationship with the Funds. The Board, including the Independent Board Members, received information regarding the management fees paid by the Funds to the Adviser pursuant to the Management Agreement. The Board examined this information in order to determine the reasonableness of the fees in light of the nature and quality of services provided to the Funds and the costs incurred by and benefits to the Adviser in providing those services, and other relevant factors.
To assist in this analysis, the Board received a report independently prepared by Broadridge (the “Broadridge Report”). The Broadridge Report showed comparative fee information for each Fund’s respective Broadridge category, including expense comparisons of contractual investment management fees and actual net expenses. The Board considered (i) the proposed 0.05% decrease in the management fee for the AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund and (ii) the proposed 0.02% and 0.05% increase in the expense caps pursuant to the A&R Fee Waiver Agreement for the AQR Multi-Strategy Alternative Fund and AQR Style Premia Alternative Fund, respectively. The Board also reviewed information regarding the fees the Adviser charges for other funds and accounts managed by the Adviser, includingsub-advised mutual funds, with similar investment strategies to the Funds. The Board noted the greater services provided by the Adviser to the Funds in contrast to the limited role of the Adviser when itsub-advises third party mutual funds or advises separate accounts or hedge funds.
The Board also received and reviewed information regarding the profitability of the Adviser with respect to Fund-related activities and the profitability of CNH with respect to itssub-advisory services for two of the Funds. The Adviser provided the Board Members a detailed description of the methodology and inputs used to determine profitability. AQR advised that an independent third party expert had reviewed the methodology for allocating costs to different lines of business and to individual AQR Funds and reminded the Board that it had met with the third party to discuss its review at a previous meeting. 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, costs of recruiting and retaining personnel, taxes, expense allocations and business mix.
The Board reviewed the Adviser’s unaudited financial information. The purpose of the review was to help the Independent Board Members determine whether the firm has the necessary resources to continue to provide high quality services to the Funds and attract and retain high quality employees.
Based on their review of the materials presented at the Meeting and discussions of these materials, the Board concluded that the management fees under the Management Agreement are reasonable and the Adviser’s and CNH’s profitability were not excessive.
Economies of Scale. The Adviser provided the Board with information concerning the extent to which economies of scale were realized as the Funds grew and whether fee levels were reflective of such economies of scale. To show that economies are being shared, the Adviser presented information regarding each Fund’s management fees relative to comparable funds of similar and/or larger sizes, showing that management fees were set at a competitive level. It also provided Morningstar data for the purpose of showing the hypothetical effective management fee for each Fund (other than the AQR Risk Parity Fund, AQR Risk Parity II MV Fund and AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund) at higher asset levels compared to its peers, some of which have breakpoints. At the request of the Independent Trustees, additional information was provided highlighting a Fund’s management fee relative to its category and peer group for the AQR Funds with more than $2 billion in assets under management (“AUM”) as of September 30, 2018. The Board considered this information in determining the reasonableness of continuing to operate each Fund (other than the AQR Risk Parity Fund, AQR Risk Parity II MV Fund and AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund) without management fee breakpoints at the Fund’s current AUM level. The Board recognized that economies were also being shared through the expense limitation agreements for the Funds. The Board noted that, under the Management Agreement, none of the Funds, except for the AQR Risk Parity Fund, AQR Risk Parity II MV

Fund and AQR Risk Parity II HV Fund, have breakpoints in their management fees that would allow investors to benefit directly in the form of lower fees as fund assets grew. The Board considered that the funds in the AQR fund complex share some common resources and, as a result, an increase in the overall size of the complex could permit each Fund to incur lower expenses than it would otherwise as a stand-alone entity. The Board also considered the Adviser’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and further enhance the quality of, its operations. In particular, the Board noted the continuing enhancements to AQR’s services to the Funds in areas such as compliance, portfolio management, technology and administration. AQR advised that its growth as a firm has resulted in additional benefits to the AQR Funds, such as the ability to negotiate better terms with service providers, to undertake securities lending activities and to establish a dedicated money market fund for the AQR Funds. The principals of the Adviser have also provided seed capital in excess of regulatory minimums for extended periods.
Other Factors. The Board also took into account other ancillary or“fall-out” benefits that the Adviser or its affiliates may derive from its relationship with the Funds, both tangible and intangible, including thesub-advisory fees paid to CNH, noting that no payments are received by the Adviser from the Funds beyond the fees under the Management Agreement. The Board was advised by AQR that AQR may obtain greater exposure to the public as a result of managing the AQR Funds, which could lead to additional business opportunities, such assub-advisory mandates. The Adviser may also obtain reputational benefits. The Board also received information regarding the Adviser’s brokerage and soft dollar practices, noting that the Adviser does not presently intend to make use of soft dollars to acquire third-party research. The Board considered that the Adviser is responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities for the Funds, selection of broker-dealers and best execution, and aggregation and allocation of trade orders among the firm’s various advisory clients.
Conclusion. Counsel advised the Board concerning the statutory and regulatory requirements for approval and disclosure of investment management agreements. No single factor was determinative to the decision of the Board. Based on the foregoing and such other matters as were deemed relevant, all of the Board Members, including all of the Independent Board Members, concluded that the management fee rates under the Management Agreement are reasonable in relation to the services provided by the Adviser (including CNH, when applicable) to the Funds, as well as the costs incurred and benefits to be gained by the Adviser (including CNH, when applicable) in providing such services, including the investment advisory and administrative components. The Board also found the investment management fees to be reasonable in comparison to the fees charged by advisers to other comparable funds of similar size. As a result, all of the Board Members, including the Independent Board Members voting separately, approved the continuation of the Management Agreement with respect to each Fund. The Independent Board Members were represented by independent legal counsel who assisted them in their deliberations.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements (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 August 15-16, 2018 to consider the approval of the Investment Management Agreement II between the Trust, on behalf of the AQR Volatility Risk Premium Fund (the “New Fund”), and AQR Capital Management, LLC (“AQR” or the “Adviser”) (the “Investment Management Agreement”). In addition, the Board Members who are not “interested persons” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”), held a separate telephonic meeting on August 13, 2018 with independent legal counsel and representatives of AQR and Fund counsel to review the materials provided and the relevant legal considerations (together with thein-person meeting held on August 15-16, 2018, the “Meetings”). In accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested, reviewed and considered materials furnished by AQR relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the Investment Management Agreement. These materials included: (1) memoranda and materials provided by AQR describing the personnel and services to be provided to the New Fund; (2) performance information for comparable accounts, if available, relevant to the consideration of the Investment Management Agreement; (3) information independently compiled and prepared by Morningstar Associates, LLC (“Morningstar”) relating to the New Fund’s proposed fees and expenses; (4) a discussion of the financial information of AQR; and (5) a discussion of the compliance program and the regulatory exam history of AQR.
At the in-person meeting held on August 15-16, 2018, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, approved the Investment Management Agreement for an initial two-year period for the New Fund. The Board considered all factors it believed to be relevant with respect to the New Fund, including, among other factors: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services expected to be provided by the Adviser; (b) the investment performance of the Adviser and the Adviser’s portfolio management capabilities; (c) the management fee and the cost of the services and profits that may be realized by the Adviser from the relationship with the New 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 the New Fund’s portfolio holdings, direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the New 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 weightings to the various items considered.
In considering the approval of the Investment Management Agreement for the New Fund, the Board did not view the Investment Management Agreement as creating third-party beneficiary rights in shareholders to enforce the terms of the Investment Management Agreement against the Adviser.
The following is a summary of the Board’s discussion and views regarding the factors it considered in evaluating the Investment 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 New Fund under the Investment Management Agreement, including certain administrative services. The Board considered the size and experience of the Adviser’s staff, its use of technology, and the New Fund’s stated investment objectives, strategies and processes. The Board reviewed the overall qualifications of the Adviser as an investment adviser. In connection with the investment advisory services to be provided to the New Fund, the Board Members took into account discussions they had with representatives of the Adviser regarding the management of the New Fund’s investments in accordance with the New Fund’s stated investment objectives and policies and the types of transactions that would be entered into on behalf of the New Fund. During these discussions, the Board Members asked questions of, and received answers from, representatives of the Adviser regarding the formulation and proposed implementation of the New Fund’s investment strategies, their efficacy and potential risks.
In addition to the investment advisory services to be provided to the New Fund, the Board Members considered that AQR also will provide shareholder and administrative services, oversight of Fund accounting, marketing services, risk management, compliance oversight, and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements and other services necessary for the operation of the New Fund. In particular, the Board Members reviewed the compliance, shareholder and administrative services to be provided to the New Fund by AQR under the Investment Management Agreement. The Board Members recognized the entrepreneurial risk that AQR would assume in connection with launching the New Fund and the enterprise risk involved in providing services to the New Fund over time.
Finally, the Independent Board Members had an opportunity to meet outside the presence of Fund management in executive session separately with independent legal counsel to discuss and consider the Investment Management Agreement. Based on the presentations and materials at the Meetings, the Board concluded that the services to be provided to the New Fund by AQR pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement were expected to be of a high quality and would benefit the New Fund.
Investment Performance and the Adviser’s Portfolio Management. Because the New Fund is newly formed, the Board did not consider the investment performance of the New 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 New Fund. The Board also considered the resources and strengths of the Adviser and the experience of the portfolio management team with respect to the investment strategies proposed for the New Fund. Based on these factors, the Board Members determined that AQR would be an appropriate investment adviser for the New Fund.
The Management Fee and the Cost of the Services and Profits to be Realized by the Adviser from the Relationship with the New Fund. The Board, including the Independent Board Members, received and reviewed information regarding the management fees to be paid by the New Fund to the Adviser pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement. The Board examined this information in order to determine the reasonableness of the fees in light of the nature and quality of services to be provided to the New Fund.

To assist in this analysis, the Board received a report independently prepared by Morningstar. The report showed comparative fee information for the New Fund’s prospective Morningstar category, including expense comparisons of contractual investment management fees and actual net expenses.
The Board also received and reviewed information regarding the expected profitability of the Adviser with respect to New Fund-related activities. 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, taxes, expense allocations and business mix.
The Board reviewed the Adviser’s unaudited financial information. The purpose of the review was to help the Independent Board Members determine whether the firm has the necessary resources to continue to provide high quality services to the New Fund and attract and retain high quality employees.
Based on their review of the materials presented at the Meeting and discussions of these materials, the Board concluded that the proposed management fees under the Investment Management Agreement are reasonable.
Economies of Scale. Because the New Fund is newly formed and had not commenced operations as of August 15-16, 2018, and the eventual aggregate amount of the New Fund’s assets was uncertain, the Adviser was not able to provide the Board with specific information concerning the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the New Fund grows. The Board considered the Adviser’s representation that the proposed management fee does not include breakpoints because AQR believes the New Fund is priced competitively compared to its peers even at higher asset levels. The Board recognized that economies would also be shared through the adoption of an expense limitation agreement for the New Fund. 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 the New Fund to incur lower expenses than it would otherwise as a stand-alone entity. The Board also considered the Adviser’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and further enhance the quality of, its operations.
Other Factors. The Board also took into account other ancillary or “fall-out” benefits that the Adviser or its affiliates may derive from its relationship with the New 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 New Fund, selection of broker-dealers and best execution, and aggregation and allocation of trade orders among the firm’s various advisory clients. The Board noted that the 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 an investment management agreement. No single factor was determinative to the decision of the Board. Based on the foregoing and such other matters as were deemed relevant, the Board, including all of the Independent Board Members, concluded that the proposed management fee rates under the Investment Management Agreement are reasonable in relation to the services to be provided by the Adviser to the New Fund, as well as the costs expected to be incurred and benefits expected 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 an anticipated size. As a result, the Board, including the Independent Board Members voting separately, approved the Investment Management Agreement with respect to the New Fund. The Independent Board Members were represented by independent legal counsel who assisted them in their deliberations.

Dear Shareholder:
The AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) actively invests in futures, futures-related instruments, forward contracts and swaps, both long and short across the global equity, fixed income, commodity and currency markets. The Fund uses both short-term and long-term trend-following signals to attempt to profit from different trends that occur in all of these markets. Trend following can be simply described as going long markets that are rising in price and going short markets that are falling in price.
In addition to trend-following signals, we also incorporate signals that seek to identify over-extended trends and reduce risk when the chance of a reversal is perceived as higher than normal, since market reversals generally cause losses for trend-following strategies.
We expect that the correlation of this strategy to equity markets will average close to zero over a full economic cycle. That said, it is the nature of the strategy to exhibit a positive beta when markets have been rising and a negative beta when the markets have been falling.
A difficult fourth quarter extended losses for the Fund in 2018. The Fund’s Class I shares returned-8.88% versus a +1.88% return for its benchmark, the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch US 3-Month Treasury Bill Index. The strategy performed in line with the SG Trend Index, which returned -8.11% in 2018. This index is an equal weighted composite of 10 of the largest trend-following managed futures hedge funds. By asset class, gross of fees, equities detracted -0.25%, fixed income detracted -0.98%, commodities detracted -1.86%, and currencies detracted -4.75%.
2018 was a challenging year for our Fund and for the trend-following industry more broadly, with the fourth quarter being particularly difficult. A number of transitionary themes impacted markets: 2017’s broadly-based upswing in global growth gave way to global deceleration (outside the U.S.), global monetary conditions tightened with the tone of forward guidance from the U.S. altering frequently, and political risks rose with more populist and protectionist policies gaining traction around the world. Against this backdrop, several markets across asset classes experienced large reversals in the fourth quarter and a lack of sustained direction over the full year.
After a broad upswing in global growth in 2017, 2018 saw a continuation of mainly U.S. economic strength. Data for third quarter U.S. GDP growth showed a 3.0% year-over-year increase, the strongest pace since 2015. Despite the early-2018 large pullback in U.S. equities caused by increasing inflationary pressures, strong economic growth coupled with significantly reduced tax liabilities led to rising corporate profits, and U.S. equities resumed a profitable uptrend, making new highs before the start of the fourth quarter. Strong U.S. growth also provided justification for tighter monetary policy in 2018, which helped drive a profitable rising-rate trend over the first three quarters of the year. Early in the fourth quarter, the fixed income trend continued as U.S. Treasury yields rose to new multi-year highs, as the unemployment rate fell to a new multi-decade low of 3.7% and a key gauge of growth in the service sector rose to a record high. Comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Powell at the time struck a hawkish tone on the extent of future rate hikes, noting that policymakers “may go past neutral” and that rates are “a long way from neutral at this point.” In contrast, the rest of the world experienced deteriorating economic conditions for most of 2018, with economies such as the Eurozone, Canada and China decelerating in the first half, reversing the positive economic trends they enjoyed in 2017. In the midst of the deceleration, some trends sharply reversed and were key loss drivers for the year, such as the appreciating euro and depreciating U.S. dollar trends in the second quarter. Additionally, international equities reversed bullish trends, causing losses for the Fund in the middle of the year, with bearish trends forming in Europe and emerging markets before the fourth quarter.
In the fourth quarter, global growth showed signs of continued deterioration, with particularly worrisome developments in Europe and China. Economic data delivered negative surprises in the Eurozone, with GDP, Industrial Production, and PMIs pointing towards the weakest growth in several years. Concerns about Europe were exacerbated by a standoff between the new populist government

in Italy and the European Commission over deficit spending targets, as well as continued Brexit risks and increasing likelihood of a “no deal” Brexit. In China, economic data also disappointed relative to consensus forecasts in the fourth quarter, fueling speculation that trade tensions with the U.S. might be weighing on growth.
European and emerging market equity indices declined further and were profitable trends for the Fund during the fourth quarter.
These gains more than offset losses from U.S. equity markets in the fourth quarter, as the S&P 500’s bullish trend sharply reversed in October given Chairman Powell’s hawkish guidance and a worsening of global economic conditions. With mounting global growth concerns and weakness in equity markets, the Chairman meaningfully changed his rhetoric at the end of November, highlighting that rates were “just below” neutral. This prompted significant reversals in, and losses from, U.S. fixed income markets during the quarter, causing the Fund to give back gains from fixed income trends earned earlier in the year. Bond yields and short-term rates fell sharply, to the point where markets even priced in a small chance for a surprise pause in rate hikes at December’s Fed meeting. The Fed not only raised rates, but by committing to further rate hikes and describing balance sheet normalization as “on automatic pilot”, it reversed tone (again) and went back to being perceived as hawkish. Given heightened risk of a policy error, market participants’ outlook on U.S. growth deteriorated, causing government bonds to rally further and global equities to extend their losses. Notably, continued bearish equity trends contributed positively to Fund returns in December. This led to positive returns from equities during the fourth quarter, which partially offset losses in equities caused by reversals earlier in the year.
Finally, after oil and related commodities exhibited a sustained and profitable rally of nearly 30% in the first three quarters of the year, prices sharply reversed in the fourth quarter and ended the year lower. Throughout the year, planned U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil imports by early November and other supply concerns helped support prices, but crude oil came under significant downward pressure in October and November. U.S. crude production hit new record highs during the quarter, while output from OPEC and Russia reached the highest levels since the production cuts agreed to in late 2016 and renewed in 2017. Critically, the U.S. decided to grant waivers allowing countries to continue importing Iranian crude in spite of sanctions, meaning the world had access to ample energy supplies. The result was a significant reversal which caused losses from commodities in the fourth quarter and the year overall.
By signal type, long-term signals and over-extended signals drove losses in 2018 due to a number of reversals of longer-term trends throughout the year. In contrast, short-term signals contributed positively to performance as their views changed to align with a number of notable reversals through the year, some of which led to sustained directional moves.
The strategy’s average annualized volatility target is 10.0%, which we allow to vary based on the conditional attractiveness of trends in the markets we trade. The Fund entered the year targeting a below-average 7.9% volatility, due to signal disagreement in some fixed income and currency markets. The Fund ended the year with a volatility level of 9.4%.
In 2018, the Fund performed roughly in line with the industry, as gauged by the SG Trend Index. The strategy’s outperformance in Q1 and Q3 was likely due to its risk management and portfolio construction processes, respectively. Underperformance in other quarters was likely driven by being balanced across signal horizons and by our over-extended signals.

The Fund uses both short-term and long-term trend-following signals to attempt to profit from different trends that occur in all of these markets. Trend following can be simply described as going long markets that are rising in price and going short markets that are falling in price. The Fund applies substantially the same strategies as the AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund except targets a higher volatility.
In addition to trend-following signals, we also incorporate signals that seek to identify over-extended trends and reduce risk when the chance of a reversal is perceived as higher than normal, since market reversals generally cause losses for trend-following strategies.
We expect that the correlation of this strategy to equity markets will average close to zero over a full economic cycle. That said, it is the nature of the strategy to exhibit a positive beta when markets have been rising and a negative beta when the markets have been falling.

DEFINITIONS:
Beta: is a measure of volatility of a security or portfolio in comparison to an index or the market as a whole. A beta of 1.0 means the security or portfolio will generally move in tandem with the index or market it is being compared to. A beta greater than 1.0 means the security or portfolio will be more volatile and a beta less than 1.0 means the security or portfolio will be less volatile than the index or market it is being compared to.
ICE BofA Merrill Lynch US 3-Month Treasury Bill Index: is designed to measure the performance of high-quality short-term cash-equivalent investments. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index.
Correlation: is computed into what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1. Perfect positive correlation (+1) implies that as one security moves, either up or down, the other security will move in lockstep, in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation (-1) means that if one security moves in either direction the security that is perfectly negatively correlated will move in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the movements of the securities are said to have no correlation; they are completely random.
SG Trend Index: is designed to track the 10 largest (by AUM) trend following Commodity Trading Advisors (“CTAs”) and be representative of the trend followers in the managed futures space.
Volatility: is a statistical measurement of up and down asset price fluctuations over time. If an asset has rapid dramatic price swings, its “volatility” will likely be relatively high. If prices are consistent and rarely change, “volatility” of that asset will likely be relatively low. “Volatility” can be measured as the standard deviation of an asset with a specific time

1. Organization
AQR Funds (the “Trust”), was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on September 4, 2008. The Trust is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As of December 31, 2018, the Trust consists of thirty-nine active series, two of which are presented in this book (collectively, the “Funds” and each individually a “Fund”): AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund and AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund. The remaining active series are reported in separate books. AQR Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser of each Fund.
The investment objective of the AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund and the AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund is to seek positive absolute returns. Each fund offers Class I, Class N and Class R6 shares.
2. Consolidation of Subsidiaries
The Consolidated Schedules of Investments, Statements of Assets and Liabilities, of Operations, of Changes in Net Assets and the Financial Highlights of the AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund and the AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund (“Consolidated Funds”) include the accounts of AQR Managed Futures Strategy Offshore Fund Ltd., and AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Offshore Fund Ltd., respectively, which are wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Subsequent references to the Funds within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements collectively refer to the Consolidated Funds and their Subsidiaries.
Each Consolidated Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets (on a tax basis) in its respective Subsidiary, which acts as an investment vehicle in order to affect certain investment strategies consistent with the Funds’ investment objectives and policies. The Funds expect that they will achieve a significant portion of their exposure to commodities and commodities-related investments through investment in the Subsidiaries. Unlike the Funds, the Subsidiaries may invest without limitation in commodities and commodities-related investments.

3. Significant Accounting Policies
The Funds are investment companies and apply specialized accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard CodificationTopic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies. The accounting policies are in in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to reflect current period presentation.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Adviser to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.
Valuation of Investments: All securities and other investments are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 5.
Cash:Cash comprises U.S. Dollar and foreign currency deposits held at a custodian bank(s) which may exceed insured limits. The Funds are subject to risk to the extent that the institutions may be unable to fulfill their obligations.
Due to/from Brokers:Due to/from brokers represents cash balances on deposit with, or cash balances owed to, the Funds’ prime brokers and counterparties. The Funds are subject to credit risk should the prime brokers and counterparties be unable to meet their obligations to the Funds.
Foreign Currency Translation:The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. Dollars. The Funds’ assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars at the prevailing exchange rate at the valuation date. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The Funds’ income earned and expense incurred in foreign denominated currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of such activity.
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the foreign exchange rates on investments and derivatives from the fluctuations that result from changes in the market prices of investments and derivatives held or sold during the period. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized gain (loss) from transactions in investment securities and derivatives and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and derivatives on the Statements of Operations.

| | | |

| | |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | | December 31, 2018 |
Realized gains (losses) from settlement of foreign currency and foreign currency transactions reported on the Statements of Operations arise from the disposition of foreign currency and a change between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books on the transaction date and the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency and foreign currency translations reported on the Statements of Operations arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and assets and liabilities (other than investments) denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end.
Investment Transactions and Related Income:Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are calculated on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Certain fixed-income investments may pay interest in-kind, which represents contractual interest accrued and increases the principal balance. Dividend income (expense) net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the ex-date dividend notification. Upon notification from issuers, some of the dividend income received from a real estate investment trust may be redesignated as a reduction of cost of the related investment and/or realized gain. For inflation-linked bonds, interest income (expense) is earned on the principal amount and adjusted for the changes in the relevant consumer price index.
Multi-class Operations:Each class of shares offered by the Trust has equal rights as to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class may bear different sub-transfer agency and distribution fees and shareholders of a class have exclusive voting rights regarding any matter relating solely to that class of shares. Income, non-class specific expenses, realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of relative net assets at the beginning of each day. The Funds are charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to each Fund. Trust level expenses are allocated among the Funds based on the ratio of average net assets or other reasonable methodology.
The Funds record distributions received in excess of income from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates (if actual amounts are not available) and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Funds adjust the estimated amounts of components of distributions (and consequently net investment income) as necessary once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.
The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, capital gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest.
Federal Income Taxes:Each Fund is treated as a separate taxable entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). If so qualified, each Fund will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders. Accordingly no provision for Federal income tax is necessary.
The Adviser evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds are required to analyze all open tax years. Open tax years are those years that are open for examination by the relevant income taxing authority. The Funds have concluded that there is no tax liability/benefit resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax expense will materially change in the next twelve months. The returns of the Funds for the prior three fiscal years as well as current year, or since inception if shorter, are open for examination. As of December 31, 2018, the Funds had no examinations in progress.
For Federal tax purposes, taxable income for each Consolidated Fund and its Subsidiary are calculated separately. The Subsidiaries are classified as controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”) under the Code and each CFCs taxable income is included in the calculation of the relevant Consolidated Fund’s taxable income. Net losses of the Subsidiaries are not deductible by the Consolidated Funds either in the current period or future periods. Each of the CFCs has a fiscal year end of December 31st for financial statement consolidation purposes and a nonconforming tax year end of November 30th.
Distributions to Shareholders:Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds intend to declare and distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions will be determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income (loss) and realized gain (loss) reported on the Funds’ financial statements presented under GAAP.
Distributions classified as a tax basis return of capital, if any, are reflected on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and have been recorded to paid in capital.

Indemnification:In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into various agreements that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as any potential exposure involves future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
4. Securities and Other Investments
Limited Purpose Cash Investment Fund: The Funds may invest in the Limited Purpose Cash Investment Fund (the “LPCI Fund”), which is managed by UBS Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS AM”). The LPCI Fund is a registered investment company under the 1940 Act and is subject to the money market regulations as prescribed in Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the LPCI Fund’s eligibility requirements, shares of the LPCI Fund are only available for sale to the Adviser and funds advised by the Adviser. Those Funds investing in the LPCI Fund indirectly bear their share of the advisory and operating expenses borne by the LPCI Fund. Section 2a-3 of the 1940 Act defines an affiliated person as, among other things, a company in which a Fund owns at least 5% of the outstanding voting securities. The LPCI Fund may be considered an affiliated person of some of the Funds in the Trust. Further, pursuant to the 1940 Act, control is presumed to exist when, among other things, a Fund owns more than 25% of the outstanding voting securities of portfolio company. However, the Funds do not invest in the LPCI Fund for the purpose of exercising significant influence over its management, board or policies. A summary of transactions with each affiliated person is included in the Schedules of Investments, if applicable.
Futures Contracts:The Funds invest in futures contracts as part of their primary investment strategy and to equitize its cash flows. Investments in futures may increase or decrease exposure to a particular market. In the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of a futures commission merchant that holds margin on behalf of the Funds, the Funds may not receive the return of the entire margin owed to the Funds, potentially resulting in a loss. A change in market value of an open futures contract is recorded in the Statements of Operations as net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts. A realized gain (loss) represents the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed or expired, and is reported in the Statements of Operations. The use of long futures contracts subjects the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the variation margin on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The use of short futures contracts subjects the Funds to unlimited risk of loss. Futures contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts:The Funds buy and sell forward foreign currency exchange contracts, which are agreements between two parties to buy and sell currencies at a set price on a future date. These contracts are used to protect against a decline in value relative to the U.S. Dollar of the currencies in which portfolio securities are denominated or quoted (or an increase in the value of a currency in which securities that a Fund intends to buy are denominated, when a Fund holds cash reserves and short term investments), or for other investment purposes. The market value of the contract will fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked to market daily and the change in market value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Funds could be exposed to risk if the value of the currency changes unfavorably, if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the Funds are unable to enter into a closing position. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in U.S. Dollars without the delivery of foreign currency. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Swap Contracts:The Funds engage in various swap transactions to manage risks within their portfolios or as alternatives to direct investments. Swap transactions may be privately negotiated in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market where payments are settled through direct payments between a Fund and the counterparty. By contrast, certain swap transactions are subject to mandatory central clearing (“centrally cleared swaps”). These swaps are executed through a derivatives clearing member (“DCM”), acting in an agency capacity, and submitted to a central counterparty (“CCP”), in which case all payments are settled with the CCP through the DCM. For centrally cleared swaps, the Schedules of Investments include the cumulative appreciation (depreciation), while only the current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For credit default and interest rate contracts, an up-front payment received by a Fund is recorded as a liability and an up-front payment made by a Fund is recorded as an asset on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Up-front payments are amortized over the term of the contract. If there is no upfront payment or receipt, market value will equal unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Payments received (paid) by a Fund are recorded as realized gains (losses) from the expiration at a periodic reset date or closing of swap contracts in the Statements of Operations. The Funds’ use of swap contracts create additional risks beyond those that would exist if the Funds invested in the underlying positions directly.
Total Return Swap Contracts:The Funds invest in total return swaps to obtain exposure to the underlying referenced instruments, obtain leverage or attain the returns from ownership without actually owning the underlying position. Total return swaps are two-party contracts that generally obligate one party to pay the positive return and the other party to pay the negative return on a specified reference security, security index or index component during the period of the swap. Total return swap contracts are marked to market daily and the change, if any, is recorded as net change in appreciation (depreciation) on swap contracts in the Statements of Operations. Total return swaps normally do not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets. If the counterparty to a total return swap contract defaults, a Fund’s risk of loss consists of the net amount of payments the Fund is contractually entitled to receive, if any. The use of long total return swap contracts subject the Funds to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The use of short total return swaps subject the Funds to potential unlimited loss. Periodic payments received (paid) by the Funds are recorded as realized gains (losses) from the expiration

or closing of swap contracts in the Statements of Operations. Total return swap contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Master Agreements:The Funds are parties to master netting arrangements with counterparties (“Master Agreements”). Master Agreements govern the terms of certain like transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying payment netting mechanisms across multiple transactions and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Since different types of transactions have different mechanics and are sometimes traded by different legal entities of a particular counterparty organization, each type of transaction may be covered by a different Master Agreement, resulting in the need for multiple Master Agreements with a counterparty and its affiliates.
As the Master Agreements are specific to unique operations of different asset types, they allow the Funds to i) close out and net their total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single Master Agreement with a counterparty, ii) exit transactions through means other than sale, such as through a negotiated agreement with the Funds’ counterparty, a transfer to another party, or close out of the position through execution of an offsetting transaction.
Prime Broker Arrangements may be entered into to facilitate execution and/or clearing of equities, bonds, equity options or short sales of securities between the Funds and selected counterparties. These arrangements provide financing terms for such transactions and include guidelines surrounding the rights, obligations, and other events, including, but not limited to, margin, execution, and settlement. These agreements maintain provisions for payments, maintenance of collateral, events of default, and termination. Margin and other assets delivered as collateral are typically held by the prime broker and offset any obligations due to the prime broker.
Customer Account Agreements govern cleared derivatives transactions and exchange-traded futures and options transactions. Upon entering into an exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivative contract, the Funds are required to deposit with the relevant clearing organization cash or securities, which are referred to as the initial margin. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited is recorded as Deposits with brokers for centrally cleared swaps and Deposits with brokers for futures contracts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For exchange-traded futures or centrally cleared swaps, initial margin is posted, and daily changes in fair value are recorded as a payable or receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Variation margin on centrally cleared swaps and Variation margin on futures contracts. Variation margin is determined separately for exchange-traded futures and centrally cleared swaps and cannot be netted.
International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements and Credit Support Annexes (“ISDA Master Agreements”) govern OTC derivative transactions entered into between the Funds and a counterparty. ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, netting of settlement payments, agreements to deliver supporting documents, collateral transfer and events of default or termination. Events of termination include a decline in the Fund’s net assets below a specified threshold over a certain period of time or a decline in the counterparty’s long-term and short-term credit ratings below a specified level. In each case, upon occurrence, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all OTC contracts outstanding, including the payment of any losses and costs resulting from such early termination, as reasonably determined by the terminating party. Any decision by a party to elect early termination could be material to the financial statements and impact a Fund’s future derivative activity. Collateral pledged by a Fund for OTC derivatives pursuant to a Master Agreement is segregated by the Fund’s custodian and identified as an asset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities either as a component of Investments in securities, at value (securities) or in Due from brokers (cash).
Collateral and margin requirements differ according to the terms of each type of Master Agreement. Collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure net of existing collateral already in place governed under the relevant Master Agreement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold. Collateral can be in the form of cash, debt securities issued by the U.S. government, money market funds and other securities as agreed to by the Fund and the applicable counterparty, or as permitted by the clearing house or exchange.
Collateral posted for the benefit of a Fund pursuant to a Master Agreement is held by a custodian of the Fund. Amounts which can be invested or repledged, are presented in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Segregation of fund’s collateral in the custodian account helps mitigate counterparty risk. Collateral received is reflected as a liability within Due to brokers in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities subject to master netting agreements on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
5. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
Investment Valuation Policies:The Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of the Funds’ shares are valued as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day that the NYSE is open (each a “Business Day”). The NAV per share of each class within each Fund is computed by dividing the total current value of the assets of such Fund attributable to a class, less class liabilities, by the total number of shares of that class of the Fund outstanding at the time the computation is made. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. For purposes of calculating the NAV, portfolio securities and other financial derivative instruments are valued on each Business Day using valuation methods as adopted by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”).

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | | December 31, 2018 |
The Adviser has established a Valuation Committee (the “VC”) to assist the Board with oversight and monitoring of the valuation of the Funds’ investments. This includes administering, implementing and overseeing the continual appropriateness of valuation approaches applied and the determination of adjustments to the fair valuation of portfolio securities and other financial derivative instruments in good faith after consideration of market factor changes and events affecting issuers. The Adviser performs a series of activities to provide reasonable assurance of the accuracy of prices including: (i) periodic vendor due diligence meetings, review of approaches and techniques, new developments and processes at vendors, (ii) review of daily comparison of security valuation versus prior day for all securities that exceeded established thresholds, (iii) review of third party model prices against internal model prices, and (iv) review the results of back testing and reports for the Board on the results of fair value determinations.
Where market quotes are readily available, fair market value is generally determined on the basis of official closing prices or the last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, based on quotes obtained from pricing services or established market makers. Where market quotations are not readily available, or if an available market quotation is determined not to reflect fair value, securities or financial derivatives are valued at fair value, as determined in good faith by the VC in accordance with the valuation procedures approved by the Funds’ Board. Using fair value to price a security may require subjective determinations about the value of a security that could result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent closing price and from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their net assets. It is possible the estimated values may differ significantly from the values which would have been used had an active ready market for the investments existed. These differences could be material.
Fair Value Hierarchy:Various inputs are utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels as follows:
Level 1 — Inputs using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets or exchanges for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 — Other significant observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs.
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, which may include assumptions made by the Board or persons acting at their direction that are used in determining the fair value of investments.
An investment asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement. The objective of fair value measurement remains the same even when there is a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique used. The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Valuation Techniques:The following inputs and techniques may be used by the Funds to evaluate how to classify each major category of assets and liabilities into the appropriate fair value hierarchy in accordance with GAAP.
Equity securities, including securities sold short, rights, exchange options, warrants, Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”) and closed-end investment companies, are valued at the last quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market, or composite in which each security trades and are therefore classified Level 1. Investments in mutual funds are valued daily at their NAVs which are also classified as Level 1.
An equity for which no sales are reported, as in the case of a security that is traded in the over-the-counter market or a less liquid listed equity, is valued at its last bid price (in the case of short sales, at the ask price) and is therefore classified Level 2. In addition, equities traded outside of the Western Hemisphere are classified Level 2 because they are fair valued daily based on the application of a fair value factor (unless the Adviser determines that use of another valuation methodology is appropriate). The Funds apply daily fair value factors, furnished by an independent pricing service, to account for the market movement between the close of the foreign market and the close of the NYSE. The pricing service uses statistical analysis and quantitative models to adjust local market prices using factors such as subsequent movement and changes in the prices of indices, American Depositary Receipts, futures contracts and exchange rates in other markets in determining fair value as of the time a Fund calculates its net asset value.
Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less) and other investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs and are also classified within Level 2. These include certain U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds and less liquid listed equities. Corporate and sovereign bonds and other fixed-income instruments are valued at estimated fair value using the latest bid prices or evaluated quotes furnished by independent pricing services, as well as quotations from counterparties and other market participants. Evaluated quotes are generally based on a matrix system, which may consider such factors as quoted prices for identical or similar assets, yields, maturities and ratings and are not necessarily reliant on quoted prices.

Short-term debt investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. These investments are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently or not at all. Level 3 instruments include illiquid securities. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the Funds may use one or more valuation approaches (e.g., the market approach, the income approach, or the cost approach), including proprietary models for which sufficient and reliable data is available. Within Level 3, the market approach generally is based on the technique of using comparable market transactions, while the use of the income approach includes the estimation of future cash flows discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or durations of any restrictions on the disposition of the investment or adjusted as appropriate for credit, market and/or other risk factors.
The inputs used by the Funds in estimating the value of Level 3 investments include the original transaction price, recent transactions in the same or similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity or debt capital markets, changes in financial ratios or cash flows, benchmark yield curves, credit spreads, estimated default rates, underlying collateral, and other unique security features. Level 3 investments may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the Adviser in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the Funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the fair value of the investment.
Exchange-traded derivatives, such as futures contracts and exchange-traded option contracts, are typically classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on whether or not they are deemed to be actively traded. Futures and option contracts that are listed on national exchanges and are freely transferable are valued at fair value based on their last sales price on the date of determination on the exchange their constitutes the principal market. For option contracts, if no sales occurred on such date, contracts will be valued at the mid price published by the exchange at the close of business. Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a multilateral trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are valued on daily basis using quotations provided by an independent pricing service.
OTC derivatives, including forward contracts and swap contracts, are valued by the Funds on a daily basis using observable inputs, such as quotations provided by an independent pricing service, the counterparty, dealers or brokers, whenever available and considered reliable.
The value of each total return swap contract and total return basket swap contract is derived from a combination of (i) the net value of the underlying positions, which are valued daily using the last sale or closing price on the principal exchange on which the securities are traded; (ii) financing costs; (iii) the value of dividends or accrued interest; (iv) cash balances within the swap; and (v) other factors, as applicable.
The U.S. Dollar value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts is determined using current forward currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing service.
Credit default swap contracts and interest rate swap contracts are marked to market daily based on quotations as provided by an independent pricing service. The independent pricing services aggregate valuation information from various market participants to create a single reference value for each credit default swap contract and interest rate swap contract.
Generally, a valuation model is used consistently for similar derivative types. In instances where models are used, the value of an OTC derivative depends upon the contractual terms of, and specific risks inherent in, the instrument as well as the availability and reliability of observable inputs. Such inputs typically may include market prices for reference securities, yield curves, credit spreads, measures of volatility, prepayment rates and implied correlations of such inputs which are obtained from outside brokers and/or pricing services when available. Certain OTC derivatives, such as generic forwards, swaps and options, have inputs which can generally be corroborated by market data and are therefore classified within Level 2. Those OTC derivatives that have less liquidity or for which inputs are unobservable are classified within Level 3. While the valuations of less liquid OTC derivatives may utilize some Level 1 and/or Level 2 inputs, they also may include other unobservable inputs which may be considered significant to the fair value determination.
The Funds value the repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements they have entered based on the respective contract amounts, which approximate fair value. As such, repurchase agreements are carried at the amount of cash paid plus accrued interest receivable (or interest payable in periods of increased demand for collateral), and reverse repurchase agreements are carried at the amount of cash received plus accrued interest payable (or interest receivable in periods of increased demand for collateral).

6. Federal Income Tax Matters
At December 31, 2018, the cost and aggregate gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of long security positions, short security positions and derivative instruments for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
FUND | | COST OF INVESTMENTS | | | GROSS UNREALIZED APPRECIATION | | | GROSS UNREALIZED DEPRECIATION | | | NET UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION) | |
AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund | | $ | 6,903,768,532 | | | $ | 332,301,589 | | | $ | (267,164,959 | ) | | $ | 65,136,630 | |

The differences between book basis and tax basis appreciation (depreciation) on investments is primarily attributable to differences in the tax treatment of mark to market gain/loss on regulated futures contracts and forward foreign currency contracts.

As of December 31, 2018, the components of net assets (excluding paid-in capital) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | |

AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund | | | — | | | | (91,738,657 | ) | | | 6,660,674 | | | | (17,983,872 | ) | | | (4,096,973 | ) | | | (107,158,828 | ) |
The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to mark to market on forward foreign currency exchange contracts, mark to market on regulated futures contracts, loss deferrals from tax straddles, certain late year loss deferrals, and capital loss carryforwards.
As of December 31, 2018, the effect of permanent book/tax reclassifications resulted in increase (decrease) to the components of net assets as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | |
FUND | | TOTAL DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS (LOSS) | | | PAID-IN CAPITAL | |
AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund | | $ | 114,271,882 | | | $ | (114,271,882 | ) |
AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund | | | 19,999,531 | | | | (19,999,531 | ) |
For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to the difference in tax treatment of net operating losses and income from investments in the Cayman subsidiary. The result of operations and net assets were not affected by the reclassifications.
As of December 31, 2018, for federal income tax purposes, the following Funds have capital loss carryforwards available to offset future capital gains, if any, to the extent provided by the U.S. Treasury regulations:
| | | | | | | | |
| | |
FUND | | SHORT-TERM | | | LONG-TERM | |
AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund | | $ | 468,771,673 | | | $ | 535,853,454 | |
AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund | | | 44,549,685 | | | | 47,188,972 | |
7. Investment Transactions
During the year ended December 31, 2018, there was no cost of purchases or proceeds from sales of investments (excluding swap contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures contracts and short-term investments).
8. Derivative Instruments and Activities
The Funds use derivative instruments as part of their principal investment strategy to achieve their investment objectives. The Funds’ derivative contracts are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. All derivative instruments held by the Funds were subject to a master netting agreement or similar arrangement.

9. Investment Advisory and Other Agreements
The Adviser serves as the investment adviser to each of the Funds pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement, dated January 29, 2017, as amended (the “Investment Management Agreement”). Under the Investment Management Agreement, the Adviser furnishes a continuous investment program for each Fund’s portfolio, makes day-to-day investment decisions for each Fund, and manages each Fund’s investments in accordance with the stated policies of each Fund. The Adviser is also responsible for selecting brokers and dealers to execute purchase and sale orders for the portfolio transactions of each Fund, subject to its obligation to seek best execution, and also provides certain other administrative services to each Fund. The Adviser provides persons satisfactory to the Funds’ Board to serve as officers of the Funds.
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Funds currently pay the Investment Advisory fee calculated on the average daily net assets for each Fund, in the annual ratios below:
| | | | |
| |
FUND | | RATIO | |
AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund | | | 1.05 | % |
AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund | | | 1.45 | |
The Trust and the Adviser have entered into a Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursement Agreement (“Fee Waiver Agreement”) whereby the Adviser has agreed to waive its fee and/or reimburse each Fund at least through April 30, 2019 for Class I, N and R6 shares, respectively, unless otherwise noted. Pursuant to the Fee Waiver Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to waive and/or reimburse each Fund to the extent that the total annual fund operating expense ratios (including the consolidated expenses of the Subsidiaries), exclusive of interest, taxes, borrowing costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend and interest expense related to short sales, and extraordinary expenses exceed the following ratios:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |

AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund | | | 1.65 | | | | 1.90 | | | | 1.55 | |
For the year ended December 31, 2018 the Funds’ Adviser waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses for each of the Funds as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | |
FUND | | INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES WAIVED | | | EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS | | | TOTAL | |
AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund | | $ | 56,489 | | | $ | 2,115 | | | $ | 58,604 | |
The Trust, in turn, agreed that the Funds will repay the fee waiver/expense reimbursement to the Adviser. A repayment shall be payable only to the extent it can be made during the thirty-six months following the applicable month during which the Adviser waived fees or reimbursed the applicable Fund for its operating expenses under the Agreement. Such repayment shall be made only out of the class of the Fund for which the applicable fee waiver and expense reimbursement was made. Repayments with respect to a Fund must be limited to amounts that do not cause the aggregate operating expenses of the Fund attributable to a share class during a year in which such repayment is made to exceed the lesser of (i) the applicable limits in effect at the time of the waiver and/or reimbursement, or (ii) the applicable limits in effect at the time of recapture.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the amounts waived and reimbursed by the Adviser, as well as the amounts available for potential future recoupment by the Adviser and the expiration schedule at December 31, 2018 are as follows:

10. Distribution Plan
The Trust has adopted a Plan of Distribution (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Class N shares of the Funds. The Plan allows for the payment of services related to the distribution and servicing of these shares at a rate of up to 0.25% per annum of the average daily net asset value of the Class N shares of the Funds.
11. Principal Risks and Concentrations
The Funds are non-diversified. Because the Funds may invest in securities of a smaller number of issuers, the Funds may be more exposed to the risks associated with and developments affecting an individual issuer than a fund that invests more widely, which may, therefore, have a greater impact on the Funds’ performance.
The investment techniques and strategies utilized by the Funds, including investments made on a shorter-term basis or in derivative instruments or instruments with a maturity of one year or less at the time of acquisition, may result in frequent portfolio trading and high portfolio turnover. High portfolio turnover will cause the Funds to incur higher levels of brokerage fees and commissions, which may reduce performance, and may cause higher levels of current tax liability to shareholders in the Funds.
In the normal course of business the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk). A Fund’s investments in financial derivatives and other financial instruments may expose the Fund to various elements of market risks which include interest rate, foreign currency, equity and commodity risks.
Exposure to the commodities markets may subject a Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative investments and exchange-traded notes may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity.
Fixed income securities are subject to the risk that the securities could lose value because of interest rate changes. For example, bonds tend to decrease in value if interest rates rise. Fixed income securities with longer maturities sometimes offer higher yields, but are subject to greater price shifts as a result of interest rate changes than fixed income securities with shorter maturities. Fixed income securities are generally subject to the risk that the issuer may be unable to make principal and interest payments when they are due.
Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. The Funds may lose money if short-term or long-term interest rates rise sharply or otherwise change in a manner not anticipated.
Investment in securities of foreign issuers may involve certain risks that are greater than those associated with investments in securities of U.S. issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, regulatory and other conditions; changes in currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations (including limitations on currency movements and exchanges); the imposition of economic sanctions or other government restrictions; differing accounting, auditing, financial reporting and legal standards and practices; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. To the extent a fund’s investments in a single country or a limited number of countries represent a higher percentage of the fund’s assets, the fund assumes the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries will have a significant impact on its investment performance and it may be subject to increased price volatility.
Emerging markets are riskier than more developed markets because they tend to develop unevenly and may never fully develop. Investments in emerging markets may be considered speculative. Emerging markets are more likely to experience hyperinflation and currency devaluations, which adversely affect returns to U.S. investors. In addition, many emerging securities markets have far lower trading volumes and less liquidity than developed markets.
Currency risk arises from the possibility that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates will affect the value of cash balances held in foreign currencies and non-U.S. denominated financial instruments. The liquidity and trading value of foreign currencies could be affected by global economic factors, such as inflation, interest rate levels, and trade balances among countries, as well as the actions of sovereign governments and central banks. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons.
The market values of equities, such as common stocks and preferred securities or equity related investments such as futures and options, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company. They may also decline due to factors which affect a particular industry or industries. The Funds may invest in illiquid investments and may experience difficulty in selling those investments in a timely manner at the price that it believes the investments are worth. Prices may fluctuate widely over short or extended periods in response to company, market or economic news. Markets also tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices. This volatility may cause
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | AQR Funds | | | | | | Annual Report | | | | | | December 2018 | | |
| | | |
59
| | |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | | December 31, 2018 |
the Fund’s net asset value to experience significant increases or decreases over short periods of time. If there is a general decline in the securities and other markets, the net asset value of a Fund may lose value, regardless of the individual results of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests.
The Funds may have investments that appreciate or decrease significantly in value over short periods of time. This may cause the Funds’ net asset value per share to experience significant increases or declines in value over short periods of time, however, all investments long- or short-term are subject to risk of loss.
In addition to market risk, the Funds may be exposed to the risk that one or more securities in the Funds’ portfolio will decline in price, or fail to pay interest or principal when due, because the issuer of the security experiences a decline in its financial status (credit risk). Credit risk is measured by the loss a Fund would record if the major financial institution or other counterparties failed to perform pursuant to terms of their obligations. The Funds may primarily maintain cash balances at one or several major financial institutions that may exceed federally insured limits and as such each of the Funds have credit risk associated with such financial institutions. In general, lower rated securities carry a greater degree of risk that the issuer will lose its ability to make interest and principal payments, which could have a negative impact on the Funds’ net asset value or dividends. The Funds minimize credit risk by monitoring credit exposure and collateral values, and by requiring additional collateral to be deposited with or returned to the Funds when deemed necessary.
Similar to credit risk, a Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions will default. Financial assets, which potentially expose a Fund to counterparty risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. By using derivative instruments, the Funds may be exposed to the risk that derivative counterparties may not perform in accordance with the contractual provisions offset by the value of any collateral received. The Funds’ exposure to credit risk associated with counterparty non-performance is limited to the unrealized gains inherent in such transactions that are recognized in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The counterparties to the Funds’ derivative investments may include affiliates of the Funds’ clearing brokers and other major financial institutions. While the Funds use multiple clearing brokers and counterparties, a concentration of credit risk may exist because of balances held and transactions with a limited number of clearing brokers and counterparties. The Funds minimize counterparty credit risk through credit limits and approvals, credit monitoring procedures, executing master netting arrangements and managing margin and collateral requirements, as appropriate.
In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into agreements with certain counterparties for derivative transactions. A number of each Fund’s Master Agreements contain provisions that require each Fund to maintain a predetermined level of net assets, and/or provide limits regarding the decline of a Fund’s net asset value over specified time periods. If a Fund was to violate such provisions, the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions. If such events are not cured by the Fund or waived by the counterparties, they may decide to curtail or limit extension of credit, and the Fund may be forced to unwind its derivative positions which may result in material losses.
The Funds, at times, utilize substantial leverage in their investment program. Such leverage may take the form of trading on margin, investing in derivative instruments that are inherently leveraged, entering into reverse repurchase transactions and entering into other forms of direct and indirect borrowings. There is no guarantee that the Funds’ borrowing arrangement or other arrangements for obtaining leverage will continue to be available, or if available, will be available on terms and conditions acceptable to the Funds. Unfavorable economic conditions also could increase funding costs, limit access to the capital markets or result in a decision by lenders not to extend credit to the Funds. In addition, a decline in market value of the Funds’ assets may have particular adverse consequences in instances where they have borrowed money based on the market value of those assets. A decrease in market value of those assets may result in the lender (including derivative counterparties) requiring the Funds to post additional collateral or otherwise sell assets at a time when it may not be in the Funds’ best interest to do so.
The Adviser relies heavily on quantitative models and information and data supplied by third parties. When models and data prove to be incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon may expose the Funds to potential risks. Such models may produce unexpected results, which can result in losses for the Funds.
Periodically, the Funds may be a party to legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Funds are currently not subject to any actions that either individually or in the aggregate are expected to have a material impact on their results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
Please refer to the Funds’ prospectuses for a more complete description of the principal risks of investing in the Funds.
12. Interfund Lending
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Funds may participate in a joint lending and borrowing program (the “Interfund Lending Program”) to the extent such participation is consistent with each Fund’s investment objective and investment policies. This program allows the Funds to borrow and lend to other AQR Funds that permit such transactions. All loans under the Interfund Lending Program are for temporary cash management or emergency purposes. Interest earned or paid on an interfund lending transaction will be based on the average of certain current market rates, as calculated according to a formula established by the Board. No Fund

| | |
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | | December 31, 2018 |
may borrow or lend money through the program unless it receives a more favorable rate than is typically available for comparable borrowings from a bank or investments in U.S. Treasury bills, respectively.
A lending Fund may lend in aggregate up to 15% of its net assets, but may not lend more than 5% of its net assets to any one borrowing Fund through the Interfund Lending Program. A borrowing Fund may not borrow through the Interfund Lending Program or from any other source more than 33 1/3% of its total assets. If a borrowing Fund’s total outstanding borrowings exceed 10% of its total assets, the Fund must secure each of its outstanding borrowings through the Interfund Lending Program with collateral equal to 102% of the outstanding principal value of the loan.
The Funds are not required to borrow money under the Interfund Lending Program and may borrow under other arrangements, including their existing bank line of credit. This could result in a Fund borrowing money at a higher interest rate than it would have received under the Interfund Lending Program.
During the reporting period, the Funds did not utilize the Interfund Lending Program.
13. Line of Credit
Effective February 23, 2018 and terminating on March 22, 2019, the Trust renewed a $350,000,000 committed syndicated line of credit (the “Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as the Administrative Agent. Prior to February 23, 2018 the line of credit commitment amount was $300,000,000 at substantially similar terms. Borrowing, if any, under this arrangement bears, as incurred, interest at the sum of (a) 1.0% per annum plus (b) the higher of (i) the Federal Funds Rate or (ii) the Eurodollar Rate, which is paid monthly. The maximum loan amount available to a Fund is the lesser of an amount which will not exceed the borrowing limits set forth in the Fund’s Prospectus and/or Registration Statement and will not cause the asset coverage ratio for any borrowings by a Fund to drop below the required amount under the Agreement (between 300-500% per Fund). The Agreement is subject to an annual commitment fee which is payable in arrears on a quarterly basis. In the event of a draw upon the line of credit, liquid assets of the borrowing Fund may be designated as collateral until its loan is repaid in full.
The unused amount available on the line of credit as of December 31, 2018 is $344,600,000.
The Fund had the following borrowings for the year ended December 31, 2018:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
FUND | | AVERAGE BORROWINGS | | | AVERAGE INTEREST RATE% | | | NUMBER OF DAYS OUTSTANDING | | | OUTSTANDING BALANCE | | | INTEREST PAID | |
AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund | | $ | 20,000,000 | | | | 3.38 | % | | | 1 | | | | — | | | $ | 1,877 | |
Interest expense paid, if any, as a result of borrowing under this agreement is included in Interest expense in the Statements of Operations.

As of December 31, 2018, the Funds had individual shareholder and/or omnibus accounts owning more than 5% of the total shares outstanding of the Fund as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | |
FUND | | NUMBER OF INDIVIDUAL SHAREHOLDERS AND/OR OMNIBUS ACCOUNTS | | | TOTAL PERCENTAGE INTEREST HELD | |
AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund | | | 6 | | | | 75.84 | % |
AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund | | | 5 | | | | 84.36 | % |

15. New Accounting Pronouncements and Regulations
In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted Final Rule Release No. 33-10231, Investment Company Reporting Modernization in conjunction with Final Rule Release No. 33-10233, Investment Company Liquidity Risk Management Programs and Final Rule Release No. 33-10234, Investment Company Swing Pricing. Collectively, these rules modernize and enhance the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The new rules will allow the SEC to more effectively collect and use data reported by fund, enhance disclosure regarding fund liquidity and redemption practices, and permit open-end funds to offer swing pricing, subject to board approval and review. The amendments to Regulation S-X were applied to the Funds’ financial statements. The adoption had no effect on the Funds’ net assets or results of operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements | | December 31, 2018 |
In August 2018, the SEC adopted Final Rule Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification. The new rule amends certain disclosure requirements that the SEC determined to be redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded, in light of other SEC disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP, or changes in the information environment. The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors. The amendments to Regulation S-X were applied to the Funds’ financial statements in the current period. The adoption had no effect on the Funds’ net assets or results of operations.
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments generally modified the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements such that it removes the following requirements: 1) the requirement to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; 2) the requirement to disclose the Funds’ policy for timing of transfers between levels; and, 3) the requirement to disclose the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 also added the requirement to disclose how weighted average is calculated when the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements is required to be disclosed, in addition to making various other clarifying amendments to the disclosure guidance. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments related to the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted. The Funds have elected to early adopt ASU 2018-13 and the amendments are reflected in the current year financial statements.
16. Subsequent Events
The Funds have evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of this report and have determined that there are no material events other than those noted above.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Board of Trustees of AQR Funds and Shareholders of AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund and AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund
Opinions on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of assets and liabilities, including the consolidated schedules of investments, ofAQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund and AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund and their subsidiaries (two of the funds constituting AQR Funds, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds” ) as of December 31, 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018, including the related notes,and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018 and each of the consolidated financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodians, transfer agents and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Fund Expense Examples (Unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Trust, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid for the Period Ending 12/31/18” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. 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.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed annual rate of return of 5% before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and other funds by comparing this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. The Fund will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the expenses incurred by the underlying investments in which the Fund invests. These expenses are not included in the table.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical example is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) |
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 November15-16, 2018 to consider the continuation of the Third Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement, as amended, between AQR Capital Management, LLC (“AQR” or the “Adviser”) and the AQR Funds on behalf of the AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund, AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund and certain other AQR Funds (the “Management Agreement”). Each of the aforementioned series of the Trust may be referred to herein as a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds.”
In addition, the Board Members who are not “interested persons” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Board Members”), held a separate telephonic meeting on November 9, 2018 with independent legal counsel and representatives of AQR to review the materials provided and the relevant legal considerations (together with thein-person meeting held on November15-16, 2018, the “Meetings”). In accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested and considered materials furnished by AQR relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement. These materials included: (i) memoranda and materials provided by AQR describing the personnel and services provided to the Funds; (ii) performance information for the Funds relevant to the consideration of the Management Agreement; (iii) information independently compiled and prepared by Morningstar Associates, LLC (“Morningstar”) and Broadridge relating to the Funds’ fees and expenses and performance relative to peers; (iv) financial information for AQR and a profitability analysis showing AQR’s profitability from providing services to the Funds; and (v) a discussion of the compliance program of AQR and the regulatory exam history of AQR.
At thein-person meeting held on November15-16, 2018, the Board, including the Independent Board Members, unanimously approved the continuation of the Management Agreement for an additionalone-year period for each Fund. In approving the continuation of the Management Agreement for a Fund, the Board considered all factors it believed to be relevant with respect to the Fund, including, among other factors: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser; (b) the investment performance of the Fund and the Adviser’s portfolio management; (c) the management fee and the cost of the services provided and profits realized by the Adviser from the relationship with the Funds and the fund complex; (d) economies of scale;(e) fall-out benefits; and (f) other factors.
The Board also considered other matters it deemed important to the approval process, such as AQR’s services related to the valuation and pricing of the Funds’ portfolio holdings, direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds and advice from independent legal counsel with respect to the review process and materials submitted for the Board’s consideration. The Board did not identify any particular information as controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weightings to the various items considered.
In considering the renewal of the Management Agreement for each Fund, the Board did not view the Management Agreement as creating third-party beneficiary rights in shareholders to enforce the terms of the Management Agreement against the Adviser.
The following is a summary of the Board’s discussion and views regarding the factors it considered in evaluating the Management Agreement:
The Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided by the Adviser. The Board Members reviewed the services that the Adviser provides to the Funds under the Management Agreement, including certain administrative services. The Board considered the size and experience of the Adviser’s staff, its use of technology, and the Funds’ stated investment objectives, strategies and processes. In connection with the investment advisory services provided to the Funds, the Board Members took into account discussions they had regularly as part of quarterly Board meetings with representatives of the Adviser regarding the management of each Fund’s investments in accordance with the Funds’ stated investment objectives and policies and the types of transactions that are entered into on behalf of the Funds. During these discussions, the Board Members asked questions of, and received answers from, representatives of the Adviser regarding the formulation and implementation of the Funds’ investment strategies, their efficacy and potential risks.
In addition to the investment advisory services provided to the Funds, the Board Members considered that AQR also provides shareholder and administrative services, provides oversight of Fund accounting, provides risk management, provides compliance oversight, oversees third party service providers and provides assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements and other services necessary for the operation of the Funds. In particular, the Board Members considered the compliance, shareholder and administrative services provided to the Funds by AQR under the Management Agreement. The Board Members recognized the enterprise risk involved in providing services to the Funds over time.
Finally, the Independent Board Members had several opportunities to meet outside the presence of Fund management in executive session separately with independent legal counsel to discuss and consider the Management Agreement. Based on the presentations and materials at the Meetings and their familiarity gained through regular Board presentations over time, the Board concluded that the services provided to the Funds by AQR pursuant to the Management Agreement were of a high quality and benefit the Funds.
Investment Performance of the Funds and the Adviser’s Portfolio Management. The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund. In particular, the Independent Board Members considered the investment performance of the Funds relative to their stated objectives and the Adviser’s efforts to achieve such goals as well as the performance of the Funds relative to funds identified by Morningstar as their peers. The Board was cognizant of the fact that Fund performance was challenged over the three- and five-year periods ended September 30, 2018 in comparison to Morningstar peers, which had been discussed with the Board during a portfolio overview presentation during the year. The presentation, which addressed in detail the drivers of underperformance, supported a conclusion that the Funds were being managed consistent with their stated policies and strategies. The Board also was cognizant of significant redemptions from the Funds over the prior year due to underperformance. The Board considered that Morningstar comparisons may be of limited use due to the differences between the way the Funds are managed from other funds in the Morningstar managed futures category and peer group, noting that underperformance in relation to Morningstar peers may be due to differences in a Fund’s investment parameters compared to its peer funds, including risk limits, volatility targets, and each Fund’s investment universe. In addition, the use of drawdown control and internal risk protections may affect a

Fund’s performance in relation to its peers. The Adviser also informed the Board that many peer funds use strategies in addition to trend-following. Finally, because the AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund is managed with a higher volatility level, its performance was more adversely impacted. The Board also considered the Adviser’s performance in managing other registered investment companies and private funds, noting that other funds the Adviser manages might have investment objectives, policies or restrictions different from those of the Funds. Based on these factors, the Board Members determined that the performance of each Fund is consistent with its stated objectives and strategies and AQR’s investment process.
The Management Fee and the Cost of the Services and Profits Realized by the Adviser from the Relationship with the Funds. The Board, including the Independent Board Members, received information regarding the management fees paid by the Funds to the Adviser pursuant to the Management Agreement. The Board examined this information in order to determine the reasonableness of the fees in light of the nature and quality of services provided to the Funds and the costs incurred by and benefits to the Adviser in providing those services, and other relevant factors.
To assist in this analysis, the Board received a report independently prepared by Broadridge (the “Broadridge Report”). The Broadridge Report showed comparative fee information for each Fund’s respective Broadridge category, including expense comparisons of contractual investment management fees and actual net expenses. The Board considered that (i) the AQR Managed Futures Strategy Fund’s management fee and net expense ratio were below the Broadridge category and peer group medians; and (ii) the management fee for the AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund, which is managed with a higher volatility target, was in line with the Broadridge category and peer group medians and its net expense ratio was in line with the Broadridge peer group median and slightly above the category median. The Board was aware that the AQR Managed Futures Strategy HV Fund has a higher expense ratio and management fee in light of its higher volatility approach. The Board also reviewed information regarding the fees the Adviser charges for other funds and accounts managed by the Adviser, includingsub-advised mutual funds, with similar investment strategies to the Funds. The Board noted the greater services provided by the Adviser to the Funds in contrast to the limited role of the Adviser when itsub-advises third party mutual funds or advises separate accounts or hedge funds.
The Board also received and reviewed information regarding the profitability of the Adviser with respect to Fund-related activities. The Adviser provided the Board Members a detailed description of the methodology and inputs used to determine profitability. AQR advised that an independent third party expert had reviewed the methodology for allocating costs to different lines of business and to individual AQR Funds and reminded the Board that it had met with the third party to discuss its review at a previous meeting. 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, costs of recruiting and retaining personnel, taxes, expense allocations and business mix.
The Board reviewed the Adviser’s unaudited financial information. The purpose of the review was to help the Independent Board Members determine whether the firm has the necessary resources to continue to provide high quality services to the Funds and attract and retain high quality employees.
Based on their review of the materials presented at the Meeting and discussions of these materials, the Board concluded that the management fees under the Management Agreement are reasonable and the Adviser’s profitability was not excessive.
Economies of Scale. The Adviser provided the Board with information concerning the extent to which economies of scale were realized as the Funds grew and whether fee levels were reflective of such economies of scale. To show that economies are being shared, the Adviser presented information regarding each Fund’s management fees relative to comparable funds of similar and/or larger sizes, showing that management fees were set at a competitive level. It also provided Morningstar data for the purpose of showing the hypothetical effective management fee for each Fund at higher asset levels compared to its peers, some of which have breakpoints. At the request of the Independent Trustees, additional information was provided highlighting a Fund’s management fee relative to its category and peer group for the AQR Funds with more than $2 billion in assets under management (“AUM”) as of September 30, 2018. The Board considered this information in determining the reasonableness of continuing to operate each Fund without management fee breakpoints at the Fund’s current AUM level. The Board recognized that economies were also being shared through the expense limitation agreements for the Funds. The Board noted that, under the Management Agreement, neither of the Funds have breakpoints in their management fees that would allow investors to benefit directly in the form of lower fees as fund assets grew. The Board considered that the funds in the AQR fund complex share some common resources and, as a result, an increase in the overall size of the complex could permit each Fund to incur lower expenses than it would otherwise as a stand-alone entity. The Board also considered the Adviser’s overall operations and its efforts to expand the scale of, and further enhance the quality of, its operations. In particular, the Board noted the continuing enhancements to AQR’s services to the Funds in areas such as compliance, portfolio management, technology and administration. AQR advised that its growth as a firm has resulted in additional benefits to the AQR Funds, such as the ability to negotiate better terms with service providers, to undertake securities lending activities and to establish a dedicated money market fund for the AQR Funds. The principals of the Adviser have also provided seed capital in excess of regulatory minimums for extended periods.
Other Factors. The Board also took into account other ancillary or“fall-out” benefits that the Adviser or its affiliates may derive from its relationship with the Funds, both tangible and intangible, noting that no payments are received by the Adviser from the Funds beyond the fees under the Management Agreement. The Board was advised by AQR that AQR may obtain greater exposure to the public as a result of managing the AQR Funds, which could lead to additional business opportunities, such assub-advisory mandates. The Adviser may also obtain reputational benefits. The Board also received information regarding the Adviser’s brokerage and soft dollar practices, noting that the Adviser does not presently intend to make use of soft dollars to acquire third-party research.

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