The Fund seeks attractive long-term risk-adjusted returns through strategic allocations to AQR alternative mutual funds.
Investment Approach
Leveraging AQR’s research and 20-year track record in alternative investing, the Fund is designed to complement an investor’s traditional stock and bond portfolio. The Fund invests in a portfolio of AQR mutual funds, providing exposure to both Active Multi-Asset strategies and Absolute Return strategies:
Active Multi-Asset Strategies: seek to provide tactical and risk-managed allocations among major asset classes across global markets. These strategies are expected to have some correlation to traditional asset classes over the long-term.
Absolute Return Strategies: seek to capture returns from well-established investments styles, such as value and momentum. Certain strategies may also provide exposure to less accessible types of returns. These strategies tend to be uncorrelated to traditional asset classes over the long-term.
Why Invest in the Diversifying Strategies Fund?
A Core Alternative Allocation
The Fund seeks to provide an all-in-one solution for investors seeking a strategic, long-term approach to alternatives.
Low Exposure to Traditional Markets
The Fund seeks reduced sensitivity to stock and bond market movements, which can help improve portfolio resilience across various market environments.
Multiple Sources of Return
The Fund offers diversified exposure to a range of alternative strategies and return sources.

PRINCIPAL RISKS:
There are risks involved with investing including the possible loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
The Fund is new and has a limited operating history.
The Fund is not a complete investment program and should be considered only as one part of an investment portfolio. The Fund is more appropriate for long-term investors who can bear the risk of short-term NAV fluctuations, which at times, may be significant and rapid, however, all investments long- or short-term are subject to risk of loss. Due to the Fund’s strategy of investing in underlying funds (“affiliated funds”), shareholders bear both their proportionate share of expenses in the Fund and, indirectly, the expenses of such affiliated funds.
The affiliated funds will enter into short sales and/or make investments in futures contracts, forward contracts, options, swaps and other derivative instruments. These derivative instruments provide the economic effect of financial leverage by creating additional investment exposure to the underlying instrument, as well as the potential for greater loss. If an affiliated fund uses leverage through activities such as entering into short sales or purchasing derivative instruments, the affiliated fund has the risk that losses may exceed the net assets of the affiliated fund. The Fund could miss attractive investment opportunities by underweighting strategies that subsequently experience significant returns and could lose value by overweighting strategies that subsequently experience significant declines.
Derivatives may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments; this could result in losses that significantly exceed the fund’s original investment. Alternative investments strategies can be subject to increased risks and costs and investors must determine if the addition of these types of investments is appropriate for their specific financial objectives. Diversification and asset allocation do not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss.
An investment in accordance with the Fund’s strategy is subject to risks, including the possibility that the value of the portfolio holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to the companies in which the affiliated funds invest, as well as economic, political or social events in the United States or abroad. International investments are subject to certain risks, including currency movements and social, economic and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are heightened in emerging markets. Commodities and futures generally are volatile and involve a high degree of risk. Investments in alternative strategies employ complex investment strategies and carry substantial risk. There can be no assurance a fund’s investment objective or strategies will be successful. Investing involves risk, including risk of loss.
Given the complexity of the investments and strategies of the affiliated funds, the Multi-Strategy Team relies heavily on quantitative models and information and data supplied or made available by third parties. There is no guarantee that the use of the models and data will help the affiliated funds achieve their objectives. When selecting investments for the Fund, the AQR Multi-Strategy Team limits its selection to AQR mutual funds, so they will select AQR mutual funds even in cases where there are third party mutual funds that are less expensive, or that have longer track records or higher historical returns. AQR has a conflict of interest when it establishes the Fund’s target asset classes, asset allocation objectives or ongoing allocations, because it will allocate only to asset classes where AQR mutual funds are available.
The information is intended to be educational and is not tailored to the investment needs of any specific investor. The information presented herein should not be the primary basis of your investment decisions. You should carefully research any fund you may be considering prior to making an investment decision. Another allocation and other investments, including non-AQR funds, having similar risk and return characteristics may be available. We suggest only AQR funds for the Fund and other fund families may have other options available, including funds with different features and costs.
We can change or update the Fund at any time. Neither AQR nor ALPS will notify you when they are updated. The Fund does not attempt to consider the effect of income taxes on performance or returns and do not reflect any opinion on the tax-appropriateness of the portfolio for any investor. The Fund does not consider the effect of taxes, fees and/or expenses associated with investing. Please consult with your investment or tax advisor, if applicable, prior to taking action.
AQR is the investment adviser to the AQR mutual funds included in the Fund and is entitled to receive an advisory fee from each fund, as reflected in the fund’s prospectus. Additional investments in the AQR mutual funds selected the Fund can lead to additional advisory fees paid to AQR.
