Pros

AUM is the only thing that matters a AQR. There is a lot of brilliant staff in research and portfolio management.

Cons

Doesn't really matter though, the rest of the support staff is irrelevant to them. Tell them a new strat will lose them 50mm in two months? They dont give a crap. Investors that are looking for long term returns are expecting some losses on what they are dumping in AQR trash. The firm is cashing in on that.
