AQR  provides  advice  to  Clients  based  on  specific  investment  objectives  and  strategies.    Under  certain 
circumstances,  AQR tailors advisory services to the  individual  needs or requirements  of a Client.   For  example, 
certain investors impose restrictions on their  managed accounts, such as prohibiting certain securities or certain 
types of securities, controlling sector and industry concentrations in their portfolios or directing AQR to trade in a 
particular  manner  or  within  a  certain  timeframe.    Likewise,  other  Clients  may  request  certain  customization  to 
address specific tax or investment needs. 
AQR also provides non-discretionary model portfolio recommendations to unaffiliated model portfolio platforms or 
sponsors (“Model Platforms”).  Such model portfolio recommendations employ the same or similar strategies utilized 
for AQR’s discretionary Clients and include baskets or portfolios of individual securities (Unified Managed Accounts 
(“UMA”)).  In addition, AQR also participates in Model Platforms in which AQR provides one or more model portfolios 
that allocate exclusively to a number of Series Funds (Fund Strategist Program (“FSP”)).  AQR is not responsible 
for determining the suitability of AQR’s strategy for the underlying clients of the Model Platforms and AQR does not 
determine the timing or manner of execution with respect to any of the securities or investments related to a model 
portfolio.  Clients receiving model portfolio recommendations, their overlay managers, Model Platforms or others 
retain  investment  discretion  to  utilize  the  model  portfolio  recommendations, and  may  deviate  from  AQR’s 
recommendations. 
Assets Under Management 
As  of  December  31,  2023,  AQR  had  approximately  $97,686,600,000  in  Client  net  assets  under  management4 
(“AUM”), all of which were managed on a discretionary basis. 
order to develop one or more performance track records in new investment products and/or strategies before offering them to outside investors.  
In certain circumstances, a Seed Fund may not be made available to outside investors.  Similarly, AQR or persons affiliated with AQR, from 
time to time and as permitted by applicable law, create proprietary reference funds (“Reference  Funds”) to implement certain model portfolio 
strategies or other products.  For the avoidance of doubt, the term Clients includes Seed Funds and Reference Funds.  In addition, AQR also 
advises certain other Clients whose assets include or are comprised solely of those of persons affiliated with AQR.
