- AQR Large Cap Defensive Style Fund Class R6 (QUERX) is an open-end mutual fund managed by AQR Capital Management, LLC that employs a systematic, quantitative investment process to construct a low-risk portfolio primarily of U.S. large-cap equities exhibiting high-quality characteristics, including stable earnings, high profit margins and low volatility; the fund seeks market-like returns with reduced downside risk, particularly during bear markets, through active stock selection, risk management and occasional use of derivatives such as futures for hedging. Core holdings as of September 30, 2025, span sectors like consumer staples (16.82%), industrials (15.36%), information technology (14.14%) and health care (13.77%), with top positions including McKesson (1.60%), Northrop Grumman (1.57%), Apple (1.57%), Johnson & Johnson (1.56%) and Microsoft (1.55%); the portfolio comprises 164 stocks with a weighted average market cap of $397 billion, P/E ratio of 24.96, debt/equity of 0.49 and net expense ratio of 0.31%. QUERX, which launched on September 2, 2014, with assets under management of approximately $1.72 billion as of late 2025, targets institutional investors (minimum $100,000) and financial advisors managing $50 million or more in aggregate AQR investments; it is distributed by ALPS Distributors, Inc., with no sales loads, deferred loads or redemption fees. AQR Capital Management, founded in 1998 and headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut, with additional offices in Bengaluru, Hong Kong, London, Sydney, Munich and Dubai, oversees the fund through a team led by principals Andrea Frazzini, Michele Aghassi, John Huss, Clifford Asness and Laura Serban. In recent developments, AQR announced estimated 2025 income and capital gain distributions in November 2025 and launched the AQR Fusion Mutual Fund Series in June 2025, comprising four new funds focused on long-short equity (LSE), convex (CVX), market-neutral systematic (MS) and high-volatility variants to expand its alternative strategies lineup; the firm also continued strong performance across strategies, with its multistrategy offerings returning 15.1% for 2024 and year-to-date gains through November 2025 exceeding 16% in key funds.
