AQR is a quantitative investment management firm dedicated to delivering results for our clients. At the nexus of economics, behavioral finance, data and technology, AQR’s evolution has been a continuous exploration of what drives markets and how it can benefit our clients’ portfolios. We offer a range of traditional long-only and alternative strategies spanning equity, macro, arbitrage and multi-strategy solutions to investors around the globe.
AQR—Applied Quantitative Research—was founded in 1998 by Cliff Asness, David Kabiller, Robert Krail, and John Liew. The firm began with a single multistrategy hedge fund offering and soon after launched its first long-only strategy. In 2009, AQR became one of the first alternative managers to offer mutual funds, giving individuals access to the same diversifying strategies previously offered only to institutional investors.
AQR launched its first UCITS funds in 2012, expanding access for European investors. The firm continues to innovate with tax-aware strategies and a global presence, including offices in Greenwich, London, Hong Kong, Bengaluru, and other key financial centers. AQR remains focused on rigorous research, disciplined investment processes, and meeting client objectives through systematic investing.
