About ARCIX

AQR Risk-Balanced Commodities Strategy Fund Class I is an open-end mutual fund designed to provide diversified exposure to commodity markets by primarily investing in commodity futures contracts. Its core objective is to seek a total return while carefully balancing risk across major commodity sectors such as energy, agriculture, precious and base metals, softs, and livestock. The fund is notable for employing AQR’s proprietary risk management and allocation techniques, aiming to distribute risk more evenly over time and across sectors than traditional commodity strategies. This dynamic approach includes the tactical adjustment of exposures to various commodities based on quantitative models assessing market attractiveness. Through its diversified and risk-managed structure, the fund plays a significant role as a portfolio diversifier, often sought by investors looking to hedge against inflation and to reduce correlation with traditional asset classes like equities and bonds. Recognized for its disciplined investment process and robust analytical methods, the fund has received industry awards and maintains a focus on long-term risk-adjusted returns. Its institutional share class underscores its suitability for sophisticated investors or large-scale portfolios seeking strategic commodities exposure within a managed risk framework.
