About QDSRX
AQR Diversifying Strategies Fund Class R6 is an actively managed alternative mutual fund designed to provide capital appreciation by diversifying across a broad range of asset classes and strategies. The fund employs a multi-strategy, fund-of-funds approach, allocating to a selection of affiliated AQR alternative mutual funds. Through this structure, it achieves exposure to global markets—including both developed and emerging economies—and a variety of asset classes such as equities, fixed income, commodities, and currencies. The fund’s underlying strategies include long and short positions in different securities and derivatives, with an emphasis on both active multi-asset and absolute return strategies, such as value, momentum, merger, and convertible arbitrage. This construction aims to reduce correlation to traditional stock and bond markets, offering multiple sources of alternative returns. The fund is positioned as a potential tool for risk reduction or return enhancement within a diversified portfolio, targeting moderate annualized volatility and seeking to deliver attractive risk-adjusted performance over time. Established in 2020, the fund primarily serves institutional investors, reflecting a high minimum investment and a relatively elevated expense ratio reflective of its active and alternative management approach.
