There have been recent incidents of individuals and groups falsely claiming to be associated with AQR
on social media platforms. These imposters have engaged in a variety of unauthorized conduct,
including soliciting customers to carry out trading activities with them, impersonating AQR using
the genuine names of AQR senior executives or employees to offer investment opportunities, claiming
to offer investment training courses that are supposedly provided by AQR or claiming that AQR is
backing certain initial coin offerings or is otherwise engaged in crypto related trading activity.
There have also been fake websites and mobile applications that claim to be AQR (or associated with
AQR) when in fact they are not. These are scams and not authorized by AQR in any way.
Please be aware that AQR does not engage in any investment activities, provide training or financial
services, or conduct other regulated activities through social media platforms or messaging apps.
Similarly, AQR, its executives and employees do not contact prospects, clients or members of
the public via social media platforms or messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Discord and Telegram to
offer investment opportunities. AQR does not offer direct investments in cryptocurrencies or other
digital assets, it does not provide a trading platform to members of the public, it does not have a
mobile app, and it does not offer investment training courses to the public.
AQR and its partners, employees, directors, officers, advisors, successors, and agents are not
responsible for any conduct by unauthorized parties and channels, nor are they responsible for the
services or information provided by such unauthorized parties and channels. If you have any
questions or wish to ascertain whether you are communicating with an authorized representative of
AQR, please contact us at /Contact-Us. If you believe that you or someone
you know has been a victim of fraud, please report the matter to your local law enforcement or other
relevant authorities. For India residents, you may lodge a report at the national cybercrime
reporting portal (https://cybercrime.gov.in).
