Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
The undersigned hereby tenders to A&Q Alternative Fixed-Income Strategies Fund LLC, a closed-end, non-diversified, management investment company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Fund"), the limited liability company interest in the Fund or portion thereof held by the undersigned, described and specified below, on the terms and conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated September 19, 2014 (the "Offer to Purchase"), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in this Letter of Transmittal (which together with the Offer to Purchase constitute the "Offer"). The tender and this Letter of Transmittal are subject to all the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including, but not limited to, the absolute right of the Fund to reject any and all tenders determined by it, in its sole discretion, not to be in the appropriate form.
 
The undersigned hereby sells to the Fund the limited liability company interest in the Fund or portion thereof tendered hereby pursuant to the Offer. The undersigned hereby warrants that the undersigned has full authority to sell the limited liability company interest in the Fund or portion thereof tendered hereby and that the Fund will acquire good title thereto, free and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances, conditional sales agreements or other obligations relating to the sale thereof, and not subject to any adverse claim, when and to the extent the same are purchased by it. Upon request, the undersigned will execute and deliver any additional documents necessary to complete the sale in accordance with the terms of the Offer.
 
The undersigned recognizes that under certain circumstances set forth in the Offer, the Fund may not be required to purchase the limited liability company interest in the Fund or portions thereof tendered hereby.
 
The undersigned acknowledges that the method of delivery of any documents is at the election and the complete risk of the undersigned, including, but not limited to, the failure of the Fund's Administrator, BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. ("BNY"), to receive this Letter of Transmittal or any other document.  Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders must be cured within such time as the Fund shall determine.  Tenders will not be deemed to have been made until the defects or irregularities have been cured or waived.
 
Investors are responsible for confirming receipt of this Letter of Transmittal and, therefore, must contact BNY at the address and phone number set forth above.  Please allow 48 hours for this Letter of Transmittal to be processed prior to contacting BNY to confirm receipt.  If you fail to confirm receipt of this Letter of Transmittal, there can be no assurance that your tender has been received by the Fund.
 
Payment of the purchase price for the limited liability company interest in the Fund or portion thereof of the undersigned, as described in Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase, will consist of one or two promissory notes that will be held for the undersigned by BNY.  Cash payments due pursuant to a promissory note will be deposited directly to the undersigned's brokerage account at UBS Financial Services Inc. ("UBS Financial Services") if the undersigned has a UBS Financial Services account, and, upon a withdrawal of such payment from such account, UBS Financial Services will impose such fees as it would customarily assess upon the withdrawal of cash from such brokerage account.  The undersigned recognizes that the portion of any cash payment pursuant to a promissory note representing a contingent payment of a portion of the purchase price will be based on the unaudited estimated net asset value as of December 31, 2014, of the limited liability company interest or portion thereof tendered, and will be determined upon completion of the audit of the Fund's financial statements for calendar year 2014, which is anticipated to be completed not later than 60 days after the Fund's fiscal year end, and will be paid in cash as soon as practicable thereafter.
 
All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and the obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding on the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.  Except as stated in Section 5 of the Offer to Purchase, this tender is irrevocable.
