The Board of Trustees of the AQR Funds (the “Trust”) has approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with respect to each Fund, pursuant to which one or more existing AQR mutual funds (each, a “Target Fund”) will reorganize into another existing Fund (each, an “Acquiring Fund”). Each proposed transaction is referred to as a “Reorganization,” and the proposed transactions are referred to collectively as the “Reorganizations.” The Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund for each Reorganization are shown in the table below.

Each Reorganization is expected to close on or about May 4, 2026 (the “Closing Date”).

Each Fund will pay for a portion of the costs of its Reorganization since its Reorganization is expected to benefit the Fund. Each Reorganization may be terminated or abandoned at any time before its closing by action of the Board of Trustees of the Trust.

When a cash dividend is declared on a stock the Fund has sold short, the Fund is required to pay an amount equal to the dividend to the party from which the Fund has borrowed the stock, and to record the payment as an expense.

 

  2 

Dividends on Short Sales and Interest Expense have been restated to reflect estimated expenses for the current fiscal year due to the Fund’s implementation of a new principal investment strategy that permits the Fund to take long and short positions in equity securities effective on or around May 4, 2026.

 

  3 

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses and Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses after Expense Reimbursements do not correlate to the Ratio to Average Net Assets of Expenses, Before Reimbursements or Ratio to Average Net Assets of Expenses, Net of Reimbursements given in the Fund’s most recent Annual Financial Statements and Other Information included in Form N-CSR, which do not include the restatement of Dividends on Short Sales and Interest Expense or the restatement of All Other Expenses.

 

  4 

All Other Expenses have been restated to reflect the implementation of the Updated Expense Cap (as defined below).

 

  5 

Effective on or around May 4, 2026, the Adviser has contractually agreed to reimburse operating expenses of the Fund in an amount sufficient to limit certain Specified Expenses at no more than 0.20% for Class N Shares and Class I Shares and 0.05% for Class R6 Shares (the “Updated Expense Cap”). From January 29, 2026 to May 3, 2026, the Adviser had contractually agreed to reimburse operating expenses of the Fund in an amount sufficient to limit certain Specified Expenses at no more than 0.15% for Class N Shares and Class I Shares and 0.05% for Class R6 Shares. “Specified Expenses” for this purpose include all Fund operating expenses other than management fees and 12b-1 fees and exclude interest, taxes, dividends on short sales, borrowing costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense relating to short sales, expenses related to class action claims, contingent expenses related to tax reclaim receipts, reorganization expenses and extraordinary expenses. This agreement (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”) will continue at least through January 28, 2028. The Expense Limitation Agreement may be terminated with the consent of the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Non-Interested Trustees of the Trust. The Adviser is entitled to recapture any expenses reimbursed during the thirty-six month period following the end of


 

the month during which the Adviser reimbursed expenses, provided that the amount recaptured may not cause the Specified Expenses attributable to a share class of the Fund during a year in which a repayment is made to exceed either of (i) the applicable limits in effect at the time of the reimbursement and (ii) the applicable limits in effect at the time of recapture.

 

  6 

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses after Expense Reimbursements are 0.70%, 0.40% and 0.30% for Class N Shares, Class I Shares and Class R6 Shares, respectively, if Dividends on Short Sales and Interest Expense are not included.

Example: This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same and takes into account the effect of the Expense Limitation Agreement through January 28, 2028 as discussed in Footnote No. 5 to the Fee Table. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover: The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 56% of the average value of its portfolio.
