Western Asset Macro Opportunities LAOSX Global Macro The strategy focuses on top-down relative value opportunities in global interest rates and global credit Discretionary (predominantly U.S.,Europe and Asia).Duration is actively managed,with historical duration ranging from-4 to+10 years.Returns will be primarily driven by the investment team's ability to identify long term macro themes and position the fund accordingly.The fund will typically have a net long credit bias. AQR Managed Futures AQMIX Global Macro The fund implements a proprietary systematic trend following strategy.The strategy is designed to capitalize on Managed Futures price momentum signals that dictate long and short positions across global equity,fixed income,interest rate, commodity,and currency markets through the use of short and long-term trend-following models.The Fund may be directionally exposed over the short-term while targeting correlations close to zero over Iongertime horizons.

AQR Equity Market Neutral I QMNIX Long/Short Equity The strategy uses valuation,momentum,quality,stability,investor sentiment and management signaling as Market Neutral measures to establish long and short positions that are attractive on either a relative or absolute basis.The Fund will invest in the top 2,000 global stocks based on market capitalization and targets neutrality at market,country and industry levels overthe long-term(3+years). Black Rock Strategic Income Capps Insl BSIIX Relative Value The strategy employs a fundamental approach that blends top-down and bottom-up processes to construct an Fixed Income unconstrained fixed income portfolio.The strategy can invest in a broad universe of fixed income securities and derivatives including all sectors of the Barclays Aggregate Index,high yield,floating rate,emerging market debt, non-US denominated debt,asset backed securities,and convertibles.Duration can range from-2 to+7 years (typically 1-4 years). AQR Style Premia Alternative I QSPIX Multi-Strategy The strategy's approach provides efficient,diversified exposure to four fundamental investment styles—value, Risk Premia momentum,carry,and defensive—in a transparent and liquid vehicle.The Fund provides exposures to the four styles by constructing diversified,long/short portfolios across global stocks/industries,equity market indices, sovereign fixed income(bonds,interest rates and yield curve strategies),currencies and commodities.
