1 The Class R6 Shares of the Fund commenced operations on January 8, 2014. Therefore, operating expenses for the Class R6 Shares are estimated for the current fiscal year.
2 The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or to reimburse expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, dividends on short sales, borrowing costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense relating to short sales and extraordinary expenses) at no more than 0.75% for Class R6 Shares (the “Fee Waiver Agreement”). This arrangement will continue at least through January 28, 2015. The Fee Waiver Agreement may only be terminated with the consent of the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” of the Trust within the meaning of the 1940 Act . Under the Fee Waiver Agreement, the Adviser is entitled to recapture the fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed, only to the extent that such recapture can be made during the thirty-six months following the applicable period during which the Adviser waived fees or reimbursed expenses. In no case will the Adviser recapture any amount that would cause the aggregate operating expenses of the Fund attributable to a share class during a year in which a repayment is made to exceed the applicable limits described above during such year.


  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 with respect to the Class R6 Shares, takes into account the effect of the Fee Waiver Agreement through January 28, 2015, as discussed in Footnote No. 2 to the Fee Table. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
    
  1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Class R6 Shares $77 $240 $417 $930
Class Y Shares $56 $176 $307 $689

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 fiscal period of January 1, 2013 through September 30, 2013, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 59% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund seeks to outperform, after expenses, the MSCI EAFE Index (the International Equity Benchmark ) while seeking to control its tracking error relative to this benchmark. The Fund will target a forecasted tracking error generally in the range of 3 - 7% relative to the International Equity Benchmark over a long-term business cycle, but actual tracking error will vary based on market conditions, sector positioning, securities selection and other factors. The International Equity Benchmark is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the performance of equities in developed markets, excluding the United States and Canada.
The Adviser uses a set of value, momentum and economic factors to generate an investment portfolio based on the Adviser’s global asset allocation models and security selection procedures. The Adviser believes that a better risk-adjusted return may be achievable by applying both value and momentum strategies simultaneously:
Value strategies favor securities that appear cheap based on fundamental measures, often as a result of distress or lack of favor. Examples of value strategies include using price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios for choosing individual equities and countries, and purchasing power parity for choosing currencies.
Momentum strategies favor securities with strong short-term performance. Examples of momentum strategies include simple price momentum for choosing individual equities and countries, and foreign exchange rate momentum for selecting currencies.
In addition to these two main strategies, the Adviser may use a number of additional quantitative strategies based on the Adviser’s proprietary research.
Generally, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity and equity-related instruments (including, but not limited to, exchange-traded funds, equity index futures, equity index swaps and depositary receipts). The Fund will invest in companies with a broad range of market capitalizations, including smaller capitalization companies The Fund invests primarily in securities comprising the International Equity Benchmark and also invests to some extent in securities outside the International Equity Benchmark which the Adviser deems to have similar investment characteristics to the securities comprising the International Equity Benchmark . The Fund may invest in or use options, warrants, equity swaps, financial futures contracts, forward foreign currency contracts and other types of derivative instruments in seeking to achieve its investment objective. A portion of the Fund’s assets will be held in cash or cash equivalents including, but not limited to, money market instruments, interests in short-term investment funds or shares of money market or short-term bond funds.
The Fund may invest to a lesser extent in securities of issuers in countries and currencies not included in the International Equity Benchmark . However, the Adviser does not currently expect such securities to be a significant component of the Fund’s investment portfolio.
The Adviser believes that the management of transaction costs should be considered when determining whether an investment is attractive. Transaction costs include commissions, bid-ask spreads, market impact and time delays (time between decision and implementation when a market may move for or against you). The Adviser considers transaction costs both in its forecasting model and optimization process to seek to ensure that trades for the Fund will remain attractive after transaction costs are reflected.
Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
Risk is inherent in all investing. The value of your investment in the Fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly from day to day and over time. You may lose part or all of your investment in the Fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. The Fund is not a complete investment program and should be considered only as one part of an investment portfolio. The Fund is more appropriate for long-term investors who can bear the risk of short-term NAV fluctuations, which at times, may be significant and rapid. The following is a summary description of certain risks of investing in the Fund.
Common Stock Risk: Common stocks are subject to greater fluctuations in market value than certain other asset classes as a result of such factors as a company’s business performance, investor perceptions, stock market trends and general economic conditions.
Counterparty Risk: The Fund may enter into various types of derivative contracts. These derivative contracts may be privately negotiated in the over-the-counter market. These contracts also involve exposure to credit risk, since contract performance depends in part on the financial condition of the counterparty. If a privately negotiated over-the-counter contract calls for payments by the Fund, the

AQR Funds 2 Summary Prospectus


Fund must be prepared to make such payments when due. In addition, if a counterparty’s creditworthiness declines, the Fund may not receive payments owed under the contract, or such payments may be delayed under such circumstances and the value of agreements with such counterparty can be expected to decline, potentially resulting in losses by the Fund.
Currency Risk: The risk that changes in currency exchange rates will negatively affect securities denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies. The liquidity and trading value of foreign currencies could be affected by global economic factors, such as inflation, interest rate levels, and trade balances among countries, as well as the actions of sovereign governments and central banks. Adverse changes in currency exchange rates (relative to the U.S. dollar) may erode or reverse any potential gains from the Fund’s investments in securities denominated in a foreign currency or may widen existing losses. The Fund’s net currency positions may expose it to risks independent of its securities positions.
Derivatives Risk: In general, a derivative contract typically involves leverage, i.e. , it provides exposure to potential gain or loss from a change in the level of the market price of the underlying security, currency or commodity (or a basket or index) in a notional amount that exceeds the amount of cash or assets required to establish or maintain the derivative contract. Adverse changes in the value or level of the underlying asset or index can result in a loss to the Fund substantially greater than the amount invested in the derivative itself. The use of derivative instruments also exposes the Fund to additional risks and transaction costs. These instruments come in many varieties and have a wide range of potential risks and rewards, and may include futures contracts, options, swaps and forward foreign currency contracts. A risk of the Fund’s use of derivatives is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate perfectly with the overall securities markets.
Foreign Investments Risk: Foreign investments often involve special risks not present in U.S. investments that can increase the chances that the Fund will lose money. These risks include:
The Fund generally holds its foreign securities and cash in foreign banks and securities depositories, which may be recently organized or new to the foreign custody business and may be subject to only limited or no regulatory oversight.
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates can affect the value of the Fund’s portfolio.
The economies of certain foreign markets may not compare favorably with the economy of the United States with respect to such issues as growth of gross national product, reinvestment of capital, resources and balance of payments position.
The governments of certain countries may prohibit or impose substantial restrictions on foreign investments in their capital markets or in certain industries.
Many foreign governments do not supervise and regulate stock exchanges, brokers and the sale of securities to the same extent as does the United States and may not have laws to protect investors that are comparable to U.S. securities laws.
Settlement and clearance procedures in certain foreign markets may result in delays in payment for or delivery of securities not typically associated with settlement and clearance of U.S. investments.
Forward and Futures Contract Risk: The successful use of forward and futures contracts draws upon the Adviser’s skill and experience with respect to such instruments and are subject to special risk considerations. The primary risks associated with the use of forward and futures contracts, which may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and total return , are (a) the imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the instruments held by the Fund and the price of the forward or futures contract; (b) possible lack of a liquid secondary market for a forward or futures contract and the resulting inability to close a forward or futures contract when desired; (c) losses caused by unanticipated market movements, which are potentially unlimited; (d) the Adviser’s inability to predict correctly the direction of securities prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and other economic factors; (e) the possibility that the counterparty will default in the performance of its obligations; and (f) if the Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities from its portfolio to meet daily variation margin requirements, and the Fund may have to sell securities at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so.
Hedging Transactions Risk: The Adviser from time to time employs various hedging techniques. The success of the Fund’s hedging strategy will be subject to the Adviser’s ability to correctly assess the degree of correlation between the performance of the instruments used in the hedging strategy and the performance of the investments in the portfolio being hedged. Since the characteristics of many securities change as markets change or time passes, the success of the Fund’s hedging strategy will also be subject to the Adviser’s ability to continually recalculate, readjust, and execute hedges in an efficient and timely manner. For a variety of reasons, the Adviser may not seek to establish a perfect correlation between such hedging instruments and the portfolio holdings being hedged. Such imperfect correlation may prevent the Fund from achieving the intended hedge or expose the Fund to risk of loss. In addition, it is not possible to hedge fully or perfectly against any risk, and hedging entails its own costs.
Investment in Other Investment Companies Risk: As with other investments, investments in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds ("ETFs"), are subject to market and selection risk. In addition, if the Fund acquires shares of investment companies, shareholders bear both their proportionate share of expenses in the Fund (including management and advisory fees) and, indirectly, the expenses of the investment companies. The Fund may invest in money market mutual funds . An investment in a money market mutual fund is not insured or guaranteed by a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although such funds seek to preserve the value of the Fund’s investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market mutual fund .
Leverage Risk: As part of the Fund’s principal investment strategy, the Fund will make investments in futures contracts, options, forward contracts, swaps and other derivative instruments. The futures contracts, options, forward contracts, swaps and certain other derivatives provide the economic effect of financial leverage by creating additional investment exposure, as well as the potential for greater loss.  If the Fund uses leverage through purchasing derivative instruments, the Fund has the risk of capital losses that exceed the net assets of the Fund. The net asset value of the Fund employing leverage will be more volatile and sensitive to market movements. Leverage may involve the creation of a liability that requires the Fund to pay interest.

Manager Risk: If the Fund’s portfolio managers make poor investment decisions, it will negatively affect the Fund’s investment performance.
Market Risk: Market risk is the risk that the markets on which the Fund’s investments trade will increase or decrease in value. Prices may fluctuate widely over short or extended periods in response to company, market or economic news. Markets also tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices. If there is a general decline in the securities and other markets, your investment in the Fund may lose value, regardless of the individual results of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests.
Mid Cap Securities Risk: The prices of securities of mid cap companies generally are more volatile than those of large capitalization companies and are more likely to be adversely affected than large cap companies by changes in earnings results and investor expectations or poor economic or market conditions, including those experienced during a recession.
Model and Data Risk: Given the complexity of the investments and strategies of the Fund, the Adviser relies heavily on quantitative models (both proprietary models developed by the Adviser , and those supplied by third parties) and information and data supplied by third parties (“Models and Data”). Models and Data are used to construct sets of transactions and investments, to provide risk management insights, and to assist in hedging the Fund’s investments.
When Models and Data prove to be incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon expose the Fund to potential risks. Similarly, any hedging based on faulty Models and Data may prove to be unsuccessful. Some of the models used by the Adviser for the Fund are predictive in nature. The use of predictive models has inherent risks. Because predictive models are usually constructed based on historical data supplied by third parties, the success of relying on such models may depend heavily on the accuracy and reliability of the supplied historical data.
All models rely on correct market data inputs. If incorrect market data is entered into even a well-founded model, the resulting information will be incorrect. However, even if market data is input correctly, “model prices” will often differ substantially from market prices, especially for instruments with complex characteristics, such as derivative instruments.
Momentum Style Risk: Investing in or having exposure to securities with positive momentum entails investing in securities that have had above-average recent returns. These securities may be more volatile than a broad cross-section of securities. In addition, there may be periods when the momentum style is out of favor, and during which the investment performance of a Fund using a momentum strategy may suffer.
Small Cap Securities Risk: While the  Adviser  believes these investments may provide significant potential for appreciation, they involve higher risks in some respects than do investments in stocks of larger companies. For example, prices of such stocks are often more volatile than prices of large-capitalization stocks. In addition, due to thin trading in some such stocks, an investment in these stocks may be more illiquid ( i.e., harder to sell) than that of larger capitalization stocks. Smaller capitalization companies also fail more often than larger companies and may have more limited management and financial resources than larger companies.
Swap Agreements Risk: Swap agreements involve the risk that the party with whom the Fund has entered into the swap will default on its obligation to pay the Fund and the risk that the Fund will not be able to meet its obligations to pay the other party to the agreement.
Value Style Risk: Investing in or having exposure to “value” stocks presents the risk that the stocks may never reach what the Adviser believes are their full market values, either because the market fails to recognize what the Adviser considers to be the companies’ true business values or because the Adviser misjudged those values. In addition, value stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform growth stocks during given periods.
Volatility Risk: The Fund may have investments that appreciate or decrease significantly in value over short periods of time. This may cause the Fund’s net asset value per share to experience significant increases or declines in value over short periods of time.
Performance Information
The performance information below shows summary performance information for the Fund in a bar chart and an average annual total returns table. The information shows you how the Fund’s performance has varied year by year and provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.
A privately offered fund managed by the Adviser was reorganized into the Fund on August 28, 2009, the date the Fund commenced operations. This privately offered fund was organized in June 2004 and commenced operations in July 2004 and had an investment objective, investment policies and restrictions that were, in all material respects, the same as those of the Fund. However, the privately offered fund was not registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act . In addition, this privately offered fund was not subject to certain investment limitations, diversification requirements, liquidity requirements, and other restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act and the Code , which, if applicable, might have adversely affected its performance.
The Fund’s performance of the Class Y Shares of the Fund for periods prior to August 28, 2009, the date the Fund commenced operations, is that of the privately offered fund. The privately offered fund’s total annual fund operating expenses during the periods presented were lower than the Fund’s estimated total annual fund operating expenses for Class Y Shares. The Fund has restated the privately offered fund’s performance to reflect the Fund’s fees, estimated expenses and fee waivers/expense limitations of Class Y Shares upon their initial offering.
The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes), as provided by the bar chart and performance table that follows, is not an indication of future results. Updated information on the Fund’s performance, including its current NAV per share, can be obtained by visiting http://www.aqrfunds.com.
