Description of Advisory Services We offer institutional investors a select range of equity investment strategies managed as follows:
• Long-Only – seek to outperform equity benchmarks with long-only portfolios.
• Alpha Extension – seek to outperform equity benchmarks by relaxing the short-sale constraint to specified limits, which involves economic leverage (various implementations of this investment approach are offered to investors, whereby such implementations vary by either the equity benchmark, investible universe and / or net and gross exposure).
• Beta Neutral – seek to produce absolute returns and outperform short-term cash benchmarks. Our investment process utilizes quantitative methods that focus on identifying and incorporating investment signals into our proprietary return, risk and transaction cost models. Our investment approach involves creating diversified equity portfolios. We utilize a structured investment process that attempts to add value relative to a client portfolio specific benchmark. This involves identifying opportunities across companies, sectors, countries and currencies by evaluating a diverse set of fundamental and market-based predictive factors. Portfolios are constructed through the use of a mean variance optimizer utilizing proprietary expected return, risk and transaction cost forecasts. Depending on the client portfolio, we transact in a variety of instruments, including global equity securities (including common stock, preferred stock, rights, warrants, exchange traded funds, closed-end funds, depository receipts, real estate investment trusts, collective investment funds and other pooled vehicles and participation notes), spot and forward foreign exchange contracts, exchange traded equity index futures contracts and other derivatives. We effect transactions in derivatives pursuant to the terms customarily set forth in established legal frameworks, such as the International Swaps and Derivatives Association form (ISDA Master Agreement) and the International Foreign Exchange Master Agreement form (IFEMA) and, where applicable, negotiated agreements with futures commission merchants or other financial intermediaries. Our research focuses on identifying, testing, and incorporating investment signals into our quantitative return and risk models. We incorporate what we believe to be the best investment insights into our clients’ portfolios with the objective to deliver sustainable alpha on a risk-controlled basis. Consistent with this objective, all alpha and risk signals, including those associated with environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) information, are evaluated in a systematic and rigorous manner prior to inclusion in our process. We understand that ESG considerations can impact businesses’ profitability and sustainability of earnings, in addition to the risks associated with their securities. Though our research to date has not suggested that stocks with desirable ESG scores will systematically outperform, some of our existing expected return signals are correlated with specific ESG measures. The most conspicuous examples are our quality signals, which tend to be somewhat correlated with the “G” (Governance) component of ESG. We do believe ESG information is informative about forward-looking active risks, and therefore we include signals derived from ESG characteristics in our risk model. We may periodically evaluate various additional signals associated with ESG characteristics as well as related third-party academic research to identify potential return or risk implications associated with ESG-based signals. Any potential signal associated with ESG characteristics will be evaluated in a manner consistent with other signals prior to inclusion in our investment process. Separate from these considerations related to risk-adjusted returns, when directed to do so by clients, we can also seek to reflect client-specific responsible investment preferences in those clients’ specific portfolios. In particular, we can employ exclusionary screens, group restrictions, continuous penalties, ESG “budgets”, ESG-tilted benchmarks, or a combination of these approaches to reflect client-specific responsible investment considerations. We manage a number of portfolios that use these approaches to help satisfy clients’ ESG-related objectives. We have a Responsible Investing Committee that meets quarterly to discuss our approach to various ESG related issues, both in our investment process and in our reporting. We are a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment. Our investment process may seek to selectively incorporate certain tax information of general applicability, such as information relating to stamp duties. This tax information is incorporated for investment purposes only and is not tailored to, or incorporated with a view to, monitoring or otherwise managing any particular client’s specific tax status, tax characteristics or tax related obligations, including taxes related to capital gains. We do not monitor global tax laws, rules or regulations (or filing obligations) on behalf of separately managed portfolios. Therefore, clients should consult their own tax advisers to determine and manage the tax effects and/or impact of establishing a separately managed portfolio or an investment in an Arrowstreet Sponsored Fund. In addition, we do not manage or otherwise seek to process or collect tax reclaims for separately managed portfolios. Please refer to Item 8 for a discussion of tax-related risks relating to our investment strategies. Please refer to Item 8 for a discussion of our equity investment strategies and certain material risks related to such strategies. Separately Managed Portfolios and Pooled Investment Funds Prospective clients may, depending on their desired investment strategy and funds available for investment, choose to have a separately managed portfolio or invest through a pooled investment fund for which we are the promoter and the investment adviser (referred to in this brochure as the Arrowstreet Sponsored Funds). We do not invest the assets of separately managed client portfolios in Arrowstreet Sponsored Funds; however, clients can choose to invest directly in an Arrowstreet Sponsored Fund while at the same time maintaining a separately managed portfolio. Please refer to Item 7 for a discussion of the types of institutional clients for which we serve as investment adviser. Separately Managed Portfolios. A separately managed portfolio is a client specific portfolio individually managed according to one of our offered equity investment strategies. Separately managed portfolio clients grant us discretionary authority to manage and invest client assets allocated to the portfolio, subject to the clients’ stated investment objectives and investment guidelines. Each separately managed portfolio is subject to the terms of an investment management agreement or other similar agreement between us and the relevant client. While we generally do not tailor advisory services to the individual needs of our clients, clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities, instruments, or derivatives (or types of securities, instruments, or derivatives) or other limitations. Please refer to Item 16 for more information regarding our investment discretion over client portfolios. Pooled Investment Funds.

Its registered office is 11 Bressenden Place, London, United Kingdom SW1E 5BY. Our firm has an affiliated entity (Arrowstreet Capital Canada Corporation) located in Canada that focuses on IT support services to the firm. Middle-Office Service Provider We engage a third-party service provider to provide middle-office administrative, accounting and record keeping services, including certain reconciliation services, certain corporate action administrative and processing services, trade settlement processing and custodial communications, and portfolio performance computation services with respect to separately managed client portfolios. Periodic reports prepared for separately managed portfolios are generally based on the records of our service provider. Corporate Actions Management In connection with exercising investment discretion in managing voluntary corporate actions relating to securities held in client portfolios, we evaluate the facts and circumstances of each corporate action when choosing whether to elect a particular course of action (or, in some cases, to take no action at all), which may include assessing monetary or non-monetary costs against the expected portfolio benefits. Client custodians are responsible for providing timely notice to us of corporate actions via our middle-office service provider and then complying with our election instructions (if any). Corporate action notices may not always be received by us, or if received, may be received too late for us to take action. Management of Subscriptions and Redemptions When managing subscriptions and redemptions into and out of client portfolios (including Arrowstreet Sponsored Funds), one of our primary objectives is to manage the impact of the transaction on the client portfolio’s expected, risk-adjusted value added. To achieve this objective, upon receipt of an authorized instruction regarding a subscription or a redemption, unless otherwise directed by a client portfolio, we may use our discretion to begin trading for the subscription or redemption prior to or shortly after the opening of regional markets on the trade date of the flow. Proxy Voting Service Provider Where we have discretionary voting authority for a client portfolio (including Arrowstreet Sponsored Funds), we retain a leading global proxy service provider to provide proxy voting services, including vote analysis, execution, reporting and certain recordkeeping services. We believe engaging a third-party proxy service provider is in the best interest of our clients because the service provider has a demonstrated comparative advantage relative to our firm’s resources and expertise in this area. It is the responsibility of our clients’ custodians or their other service providers to timely and effectively communicate all proxy notices to us (or our designee) and, once instructed by us or our designee, to execute such instructions accurately. In certain cases, proxies may not be voted. Please refer to Item 17 for additional information regarding proxy voting. Shareholder Claims Monitoring; Participation in Legal Proceedings With respect to our separately managed portfolios, we do not monitor the occurrence or status of legal proceedings or claims affecting securities held in client portfolios. From time to time, we receive notices with respect to securities held or previously held in client portfolios that become subject to legal proceedings, including class action claims or bankruptcies. It is our policy to take no action in respect of these notices, which includes not filing claims or taking any other action with respect to these legal proceedings, including filing proofs of claims and related documents. Clients or their custodians are responsible for arranging the supervision and management of all such shareholder matters. With respect to the Arrowstreet Sponsored Funds, a third-party claims processing service or the relevant fund custodian is engaged by the applicable fund to monitor and process claims on behalf of such funds. Assets Under Management As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately U.S. $177 billion in assets under management. All assets were managed on a discretionary basis.
