We, as members of management of Quantified Alternative Investment Fund (the Fund), a series of the Advisors Preferred Trust, are responsible for complying with the requirements of subsections (b)(1) and (b)(6) of Rule 17f-1, Custody of Investments by Registered Management Investment Companies, of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

We have performed an evaluation of the Funds compliance with the requirements of subsections (b)(1) and (b)(6) of Rule 17f-1 as of December 31, 2013, and from August 9, 2013 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2013.
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 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of December 31, 2013 and from August 9, 2013 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2013, 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 managements assertion, included in the accompanying Management Statement Regarding Compliance With Certain Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that 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 December 31, 2013. Management is responsible for the Funds compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on managements assertion about the Funds 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 Funds 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 December 31, 2013, and with respect to agreement of security purchases and sales, for the period from August 9, 2013 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2013:
·
Confirmation of all securities held by U.S. Bank, N.A. (the Custodian).
·
Confirmation of all securities held by institutions in book entry form at National Financial Services, LLC.
·
Confirmation of all securities and similar investments 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 one security purchase and one security sale or maturity for the Fund from August 9, 2013 (commencement of operations) from the books and records of the Fund to the broker confirmations.
We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Funds compliance with specified requirements.
In our opinion, managements 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 December 31, 2013, 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 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.
