MANAGEMENT STATEMENT REGARDING COMPLIANCE WITH CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940
We, as members of management of the Quantified Alternative Investment Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Advisors Preferred Trust, are responsible for complying with the requirements of subsections (b)(1) and (b)(6) of Rule 17f-1, “Custody of Securities with Members of National Securities Exchanges,” of the Investment Company Act of 1940. We are also responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal controls over compliance with those requirements. We have performed an evaluation of the Fund’s compliance with the requirements of subsections (b)(1) and (b)(6) of Rule 17f-1 as of January 31, 2015, and from December 31, 2014, through January 31, 2015.
Based on this evaluation, we assert that the Fund was in compliance with the requirements of subsections (b)(1) and (b)(6) of Rule 17f-1 for the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of January 31, 2015, and from December 31, 2014, through January 31, 2015, with respect to securities reflected in the investment accounts of the Fund.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees of
Advisors Preferred Trust
We have examined management’s assertion, included in the accompanying Management Statement Regarding Compliance With Certain Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that the Quantified Alternative Investment Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Advisors Preferred Trust, complied with the requirements of subsections (b)(1) and (b)(6) of Rule 17f-1 under the Investment Company Act of
1940 as of January 31, 2015. Management is responsible for the Fund’s compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about the Fund’s compliance based on our examination.
Our examination was conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Fund’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Included among our procedures were the following tests performed as of January 31, 2015, and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales, for the period from December 31, 2014 (the date of our last examination), through January 31, 2015:
· Confirmation of all securities held by institutions in book entry form at National Financial Services, LLC and U.S. Bank, N.A (the “Custodian”), without prior notice to management.
· Confirmation of all securities hypothecated, pledged, placed in escrow, or out for transfer with brokers, pledgees, or transfer agents.
· Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records of the Fund and the Custodian.
· Agreement of two security purchases and two security sales or maturities for the Fund since our last report from the books and records of the Fund to broker confirmations.
We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Fund’s compliance with specified requirements.
In our opinion, management’s assertion that the Fund complied with the requirements of subsections (b)(1) and (b)(6) of Rule 17f-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of January 31, 2015, with respect to securities reflected in the investment account of the Fund is fairly stated, in all material respects.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management of the Fund and the Board of Trustees of Advisors Preferred Trust and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
