At AQR, our employees share a common spirit of academic excellence, intellectual honesty and an unwavering commitment to seeking the truth. We're determined to know what makes financial markets tick - and we'll ask every question and challenge every assumption. We recognize and respect the power of collaboration and believe transparency and openness to new ideas leads to innovation. AQR's Risk Management team has direct day-to-day responsibility for managing the market, credit, liquidity, model and counterparty risks of firm-managed investments. Within the Risk team, the Market Risk team has direct responsibility for monitoring and managing market and liquidity risk across all asset classes and portfolios managed by the Firm. The team interacts closely with portfolio managers in setting and monitoring limits, preparing reports, and making risk management recommendations. The team is also responsible for developing and enhancing the firm's risk methodologies and analytics and works closely with our own technology team to implement these. Methodologies range from risk models, stress tests, scenario analysis, hedging analytics, to event analysis. The risk team is also critically responsible for producing a wide range of internal, client, and regulatory reports that support all the risk activities of the firm.
