About AUENX
AQR Large Cap Defensive Style Fund Class N is a U.S. equity mutual fund designed with a defensive investment approach targeting large capitalization stocks. The fund’s primary objective is to provide exposure to high-quality U.S. large cap companies known for stable earnings, strong profit margins, and other quality characteristics, aiming to deliver lower portfolio-level risk and higher risk-adjusted returns than the broad market. It employs a systematic investment process to construct a low-volatility portfolio that strives to match market-like returns while seeking to reduce overall volatility and provide downside protection. This makes the fund particularly focused on outperforming during market downturns by mitigating losses. Its sector allocations as of March 2025 show meaningful overweights to traditionally defensive areas such as consumer staples, health care, and industrials, while maintaining underweights in more cyclically sensitive sectors like information technology and consumer discretionary. AQR Large Cap Defensive Style Fund Class N plays a significant role for investors seeking more stable equity exposure, attempting to combine the growth potential of U.S. large caps with prudent risk management and resilience during challenging market environments.
