Portfolio Holdings Disclosure
Portfolio holdings of each Fund will be disclosed on a quarterly basis no later than sixty (60) days following the end of the preceding quarter on forms required to be filed with the SEC as follows: (i) portfolio holdings as of the end of each fiscal year will be filed as part of the Annual Financial Statements and Other Information included in Form N-CSR and on Form N-PORT; (ii) portfolio holdings as of the end of the first and third fiscal quarters will be filed on Form N-PORT; and (iii) portfolio holdings as of the end of the first six months of the Fund’s fiscal year will be filed as part of the Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information included in Form N-CSR and on Form N-PORT. The Trust’s Forms N-CSR and N-PORT (and its predecessor Form N-Q) will be available on the SEC website at sec.gov. A complete uncertified schedule of investments for each Fund, as of the Fund’s first and third fiscal quarters, each Fund’s Semi-Annual Financial Statements and Other Information included in Form N-CSR and each Fund’s Annual Financial Statements and Other Information included in Form N-CSR will also be made available on the Fund’s website at https://funds.aqr.com.
Non-public information regarding a Fund, including portfolio holdings information, may be disclosed more frequently or in advance of the website posting or its filing with the SEC on the EDGAR filing system to agents, service providers, analysts, rating agencies, pricing services, proxy voting services or others including the following: advisers and sub-advisers to the Funds, independent registered public accountants, counsel, administrator, transfer agent or custodians, who require access to such information in order to fulfill their contractual duties to the Funds, or consultants, data aggregators, mutual fund evaluation services, due diligence departments of broker dealers and wirehouses that regularly analyze the portfolio holdings and calculate information derived from holdings of the Funds, and which supply their analyses (but not the holdings themselves) to their clients. Such parties, either by law, agreement or by the nature of their duties, are required to keep the non-public portfolio holdings information received from the Funds confidential.
The Funds or the Adviser have entered into ongoing arrangements to disclose complete portfolio holdings more frequently or in advance of the website posting or its filing with the SEC on the EDGAR filing system to the following persons or entities:
| | The Board of Trustees of the Funds, and, if necessary, Disinterested Trustee counsel and Fund counsel |
| | Employees of the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser and their affiliates |
| | The Custodians of the Funds |
| | The Administrator of the Funds |
| | The Transfer Agent of the Funds |
| | The Distributor of the Funds |
| | The Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm of the Funds |
| | Bloomberg |
| | Factset |
| | ISS Governance Services |
| | IHS Markit |
| | Infinit Outsourcing, Inc. |
| | Financial Recovery Technologies, LLC |
| | Compliance Solutions Strategies |
| | FundApps Limited |
| | Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc. |
| | Ernst & Young LLP |
| | Acuity Knowledge Partners |
| | Lake Avenue Funding EC VII LLC |
With respect to each such arrangement, a Fund has a legitimate business purpose for the release of information. As described above, the release of the portfolio holdings to these persons or entities is subject to confidential treatment to prohibit the person or entity from sharing with an unauthorized source or trading upon the information provided. The Funds, the Adviser and their affiliates do not receive any compensation in connection with such arrangements.
In addition, in connection with the purchase and sale of portfolio securities and in the course of seeking best execution, the Adviser and Sub-Adviser provide information regarding individual portfolio holdings to broker-dealers who may be selected to execute or clear trades for the Funds or serve as counterparties to the Fund’s derivative or short positions. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) provide limitations on a broker-dealer’s ability to trade for its own accounts or the accounts of others on the basis of such information. In addition, in connection with a redemption in kind, the redeeming shareholder may be required to agree to keep the information about the securities to be so distributed confidential, except to the extent necessary to dispose of the securities.
The Adviser also may make available certain information about a Fund’s portfolio prior to the public dissemination of portfolio holdings, including, but not limited to, the Fund’s portfolio characteristics data; the Fund’s country, currency and sector exposures; the Fund’s asset class and instrument type exposures; the Fund’s long/short exposures; and the Fund’s performance attribution, including contributors/detractors to Fund performance, by posting such information to the Fund’s website (https://funds.aqr.com) or upon reasonable request made to the Fund or the Adviser.
Non-public portfolio holdings information may be disclosed to certain third parties (other than as noted above) by written request (which may be completed via email) prior to its being posted on the Funds’ website or filed with the SEC through the EDGAR filing system, upon the preapproval of the president or a vice president of the Trust and a senior member of the Adviser’s Legal or Compliance Departments after making a good faith determination that the disclosure would serve a legitimate business purpose of the Fund and is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. In addition, the recipient must agree to maintain the confidentiality of the portfolio holdings information. The Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer and the executive officers of the Trust monitor the release of non-public information regarding the Trust. In order to assess whether there are any conflicts between the interests of the Funds’ shareholders and the interests of the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser or their affiliates, the Trustees will review at each regular meeting of the Board of Trustees the information related to any such written approvals that have been approved by the president or a vice president of the Trust and a senior member of the Adviser’s Legal or Compliance Departments since the last regular meeting of the Board of Trustees. As noted above, pre-approval by the president or a vice president of the Trust and a senior member of the Adviser’s Legal or Compliance Departments is not necessary with respect to the disclosure of certain non-public portfolio holdings information to certain third parties or with respect to the disclosure of certain other information about a Fund’s portfolio prior to the public dissemination of portfolio holdings information.
The Adviser manages other accounts such as separate accounts, model portfolios, unregistered products and funds sponsored by companies other than the Adviser. These other accounts may be managed in a similar fashion to certain Funds and thus may have similar portfolio holdings. Such accounts may make disclosures at different times than the Funds’ portfolio holdings are disclosed. Additionally, clients of such accounts have access to their portfolio holdings, and may not be subject to the foregoing restrictions.
The Chief Compliance Officer of the Trust is responsible for ensuring that the Funds have adopted and implemented policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the Trust’s portfolio holdings disclosure policy and, to the extent necessary, the Chief
Compliance Officer and/or his or her designee shall monitor the Funds’ compliance with this policy.
Any exceptions to the policy may be made only if approved by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Trust upon determining that the exception is in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders. The Chief Compliance Officer must report any exceptions made to the policy to the Trustees at its next regularly scheduled meeting.
Each violation of the disclosure policy must be reported to the Chief Compliance Officer. If the Chief Compliance Officer, in the exercise of his or her duties, deems that such violation constitutes a “Material Compliance Matter” within the meaning of Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act, he or she shall report it to the applicable Trustees, as required by Rule 38a-1.
The Trustees reserve the right to amend the Trust’s policies and procedures regarding the disclosure of portfolio holdings at any time and from time to time without prior notice and in their sole discretion. The Board of Trustees also considers the reports and recommendations of the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer regarding any material compliance matters that may arise with respect to the disclosure of portfolio holdings information and periodically, as required under the circumstances, considers whether to approve or ratify any amendment to the Trust’s policies and procedures regarding the dissemination of portfolio holdings information.
