AQR is a global investment management firm dedicated to delivering results for our clients. At the nexus of economics, behavioral finance, data and technology, AQR’s evolution since 1998 has been a continuous exploration of what drives markets and how it can be applied to client portfolios. The firm is headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut, with offices in Bangalore, Munich, Hong Kong, London and Sydney.

We offer traditional long-only and liquid alternative strategies to clients around the globe. Our investment opportunities span most asset classes and markets throughout the world.

AQR’s investment philosophy is defined by three core principles: fundamental investing, systematically applied and thoughtfully designed. As quantitative investors, we believe that a systematic and disciplined approach is the best way to achieve long-term value. Built over twenty-five years, our proprietary models are the result of economic intuition and well-honed insights, which are applied without bias across a broad investable universe. Our emphasis on research and precision applies to every aspect of our investment process, from design to implementation.

AQR’s systematic approach includes:

• Diversification: We construct portfolios to be highly diversified in seeking to generate more consistent returns over time.
• Risk Management: We employ a range of tools and strategies that help mitigate unintended risk.
• Transparency: We believe that when clients know our process, they are more confident investors.
• Optimization: We seek additional value when building portfolios by considering such things as transaction costs and tax implications.
