AQR Capital Management adds unit class to trust
AQR Capital Management (AQR) has announced the introduction of new unit class within its AQR Global Risk Premium Trust.
It said the new class was intended to make the investment strategy accessible to a larger number of Australian investors.
Announcing the move, AQR principal Jeff Dunn said the new Class 1F units would come with additional disclosure and a smaller minimum investment size (A$25,000).
He claimed the changes would make the product suitable for use on Australian platforms and for distribution through financial advisers or directly to investors.
According to AQR, the trust's objective is to produce attractive risk-adjusted returns while diversifying investors' exposure to equity risk.
