PERFORMANCE DATA (Unaudited) |
This chart assumes an initial gross investment of $10,000 made on April 3, 2017 (commencement of operations). Returns shown reflect the reinvestment of all dividends, and are net of fees and expenses, and reflect voluntary waivers and reimbursement of all of the Portfolio’s fees and expenses by Stone Ridge Asset Management (“Stone Ridge”). Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. In the absence of fee waivers and reimbursements, which may be discontinued at any time, returns for the Portfolio would have been lower. Past performance is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance | | |
The Elements U.S. Portfolio seeks to capture the equity risk premium by investing in a broad and diverse group of securities or derivatives on U.S. companies, with a focus on intuitive risk factors such as size, value, momentum, and quality that the Adviser believes may contribute to a positive equity risk premium. For the period since the Portfolio’s launch date on April 3, 2017 through May 31, 2017, the Portfolio’s total returns were 1.20%. Periods of positive performance for the Portfolio, such as the most recently completed fiscal year, correspond to periods when the equity risk premium and factors emphasized are positive for U.S. companies. There can be no assurance that the equity risk premium will be positive for the Portfolio’s investments at any time or on average and over time.
The Elements U.S. Small Cap Portfolio seeks to capture the equity risk premium by investing in a broad and diverse group of securities or derivatives on U.S. small capitalization companies, with a focus on intuitive risk factors such as size, value, momentum, and quality that the Adviser believes may contribute to a positive equity risk premium. For the period since the Portfolio’s launch date on April 3, 2017 through May 31, 2017, the Portfolio’s total returns were -1.90%. Periods of negative performance for the Portfolio, such as the most recently completed fiscal year, correspond to periods when the equity risk premium and factors emphasized are negative for U.S. small capitalization companies. There can be no assurance that the equity risk premium will be positive for the Portfolio’s investments at any time or on average and over time.
The Elements International Portfolio seeks to capture the equity risk premium by investing in a broad and diverse group of securities or derivatives on companies associated with countries with developed markets, with a focus on intuitive risk factors such as size, value, momentum, and quality that the Adviser believes may contribute to a positive equity risk premium. For the period since the Portfolio’s launch date on May 1, 2017 through May 31, 2017, the Portfolio’s total returns were 2.90%. Periods of positive performance for the Portfolio, such as the most recently completed fiscal year, correspond to periods when the equity risk premium, factors emphasized, and relevant currencies performances versus the U.S. dollar are positive for developed markets companies. There can be no assurance that the equity risk premium will be positive for the Portfolio’s investments at any time or on average and over time.

Disclaimers
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Opinions expressed are subject to change at any time, are not guaranteed and should not be considered investment advice.
Investors should carefully consider the risks and investment objectives of the Elements U.S. Portfolio, Elements U.S. Small Cap Portfolio, Elements International Portfolio and Elements International Small Cap Portfolio (collectively, the “Portfolios”), as an investment in a Portfolio may not be appropriate for all investors and the Portfolios are not designed to be a complete investment program. There can be no assurance that a Portfolio will achieve its investment objective. An investment in the Portfolios involves a high degree of risk. It is possible that

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance | | |
investing in a Portfolio may result in a loss of some or all of the amount invested. Before making an investment/allocation decision, investors should (i) consider the suitability of this investment with respect to an investor’s or a client’s investment objectives and individual situation and (ii) consider factors such as an investor’s or a client’s net worth, income, age and risk tolerance. Investment should be avoided where an investor/client has a short-term investing horizon and/or cannot bear the loss of some or all of the investment. Before investing in a Portfolio, an investor should read the discussion of the risks of investing in the Portfolio in the prospectus.
Mutual fund investing in funds involves risks. Principal loss is possible.
Economic, political, and issuer-specific events will cause the value of securities, and the Portfolios that own them, to rise or fall. Because the value of your investment in a Portfolio will fluctuate, you may lose money, even over the long term. Securities of smaller companies are often less liquid than those of larger companies. This could make it difficult to sell a smaller company security at a desired time or price. In general, smaller companies are also more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments, and they may have more limited resources. As a result, prices of smaller company securities may fluctuate more than those of larger companies. Foreign securities prices may decline or fluctuate because of economic or political actions of foreign governments and/or less regulated or liquid securities markets and may give rise to foreign currency risk. In addition to smaller company risk, securities of companies that exhibit other factors such as value, momentum or quality may be riskier than securities of companies that do not exhibit those factors, and may perform differently from the market as a whole. If a Portfolio uses derivatives, the Portfolio will be directly exposed to the risks of that derivative, including the risk that the counterparty to the derivative is unable or unwilling to perform its obligations. Derivatives are subject to a number of additional risks including risks associated with the potential illiquidity of the derivative, changes in interest rates, market movements, and the possibility of improper valuation. Changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, and a Portfolio could lose more than the amount invested in a derivative. Securities lending and similar transactions involve the risk that the counterparty may fail to return the securities in a timely manner or at all and that the value of collateral securing a securities loan or similar transaction falls.
The Portfolios intends to qualify for treatment as a “regulated investment company” (a “RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In order to qualify for such treatment, each Portfolio must derive at least 90% of its gross income each taxable year from qualifying income, meet certain asset diversification tests at the end of each fiscal quarter, and distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for each taxable year. A Portfolio’s investment strategy will potentially be limited by its intention to qualify for treatment as a RIC. The tax treatment of certain of the Portfolios’ investments under one or more of the qualification or distribution tests applicable to RICs is not certain. An adverse determination or future guidance by the IRS might affect a Portfolio’s ability to qualify for such treatment.
If, in any year, a Portfolio were to fail to qualify as a RIC under the Code for any reason, and were not able to cure such failure, the Portfolio would be subject to tax on its taxable income at corporate rates, and all distributions from earnings and profits, including any distributions of net tax-exempt income and net long-term capital gains, would be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.
The Portfolios are classified as non-diversified under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, a Portfolio may invest a greater portion of its assets in the securities of a single issuer than if it were a “diversified” fund. To the extent that a Portfolio invests a higher percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer, the Portfolio is subject to a higher degree of risk associated with and developments affecting that issuer than a fund that invests more widely. The Portfolios are newly organized open-end management investment companies with no history of operations and are designed for long-term investors and not as a short-term trading vehicle.
Must be preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.
The Portfolios are distributed by Quasar Distributors, LLC.

1. Organization
Stone Ridge Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized as a Delaware statutory trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Currently, the Trust consists of a number of different funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks and policies. Included in this report are the Elements U.S. Portfolio, the Elements U.S. Small Cap Portfolio, the Elements International Portfolio and the Elements International Small Cap Portfolio, each a “Portfolio” and collectively the “Elements Portfolios.”
Each Portfolio is non-diversified. The Elements U.S. Portfolio and the Elements U.S. Small Cap Portfolio commenced operations on April 3, 2017. The Elements International Portfolio and the Elements International Small Cap Portfolio commenced operations on May 1, 2017. Each Portfolio offers one class of shares with no front-end or back-end sales charges and a 0.10% 12b-1 fee to investors. No Portfolio charges redemption fees. Each Portfolio has an unlimited number of authorized shares.
The investment objective of each Portfolio is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Elements U.S. Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a broad and diverse group of securities of U.S. companies. The Elements U.S. Small Cap Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a broad and diverse group of securities of U.S. small capitalization companies. The Elements International Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a broad and diverse group of securities of companies associated with countries with developed markets. The Elements International Small Cap Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a broad and diverse group of securities of small capitalization companies associated with countries with developed markets.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Elements Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Elements Portfolios are investment companies and apply specific accounting and financial reporting requirements under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
(a) Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurement The Board of Trustees has approved procedures pursuant to which each Elements Portfolio will value its investments (the “Valuation Procedures”). The Board of Trustees has established an Adviser Valuation Committee comprised of employees of Stone Ridge Asset Management LLC (the “Adviser”) to which they have delegated responsibility for overseeing the implementation of the Valuation Procedures and fair value determinations made on behalf of the Board of Trustees.
Listed below is a summary of certain of the methods generally used currently to value investments of each Elements Portfolio under the Valuation Procedures:
Short-term debt instruments, such as commercial paper, bankers’ acceptances and U.S. Treasury Bills, having a maturity of 60 days or less, are generally valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value.
Other debt securities, including corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt securities in each case having a remaining maturity in excess of 60 days, loans, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued by an independent pricing service at an evaluated (or estimated) mean between the closing bid and asked prices.
For investments in open-end management companies that are registered under the 1940 Act, the value of the shares of such funds is calculated based upon the net asset value per share of such funds. The prospectuses for such funds explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and its effects.
Equity securities are valued at the last sale, official close or if there are no reported sales at the mean between the bid and asked price on the primary exchange on which they are traded. The values of the Portfolios’ investments in publicly traded foreign equity securities generally will be the closing or final trading prices in the local trading markets but may be adjusted based on values determined by a pricing service using pricing models designed to estimate changes in the values of those securities between the times in which the trading in those securities is substantially completed and the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Notes to Financial Statements | | May 31, 2017 |
Exchange-traded derivatives, such as options and futures contracts, are valued at the settlement price on the exchange or mean of the bid and asked prices.
Total return swaps on exchange-traded underliers or indices are generally valued on the basis of funding accruals and underlying instruments’ total returns. Other non-exchange traded derivatives, such as FX forwards, are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by a pricing service.
If market quotations are not readily available or available market quotations or other information are deemed to be unreliable by the Adviser Valuation Committee, and if the valuation of the applicable instrument is not covered by the valuation methods described above or if the valuation methods are described above, but such methods are deemed unreliable by the Adviser Valuation Committee, then such instruments will be valued as determined in good faith by the Adviser Valuation Committee. In these circumstances, a Portfolio determines fair value in a manner that seeks to reflect the market value of the security on the Valuation Date based on consideration by the Adviser Valuation Committee of any information or factors it deems appropriate. For purposes of determining the fair value of securities, the Adviser Valuation Committee may generally consider, without limitation: (i) indications or quotes from brokers or other third-party sources (ii) valuations provided by a third-party pricing agent, (iii) internal models that take into consideration different factors determined to be relevant by the Adviser; or (iv) any combination of the above.
Fair value pricing may require subjective determinations about the value of a portfolio instrument. Fair values used to determine the Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”) may differ from quoted or published prices, or from prices that are used by others, for the same investments. Also, the use of fair value pricing may not always result in adjustments to the prices of securities or other assets or liabilities held by the Portfolio. It is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of such security. Thus, fair valuation may have an unintended dilutive or accretive effect on the value of shareholders’ investments in the Portfolio. Information that becomes known to the Portfolio or its agents after the NAV has been calculated on a particular day will not be used to retroactively adjust the price of a security or the NAV determined earlier that day.
Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. As a result, the NAV of the Portfolio’s shares may be affected by changes in the value of currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. International markets are sometimes open on days when U.S. markets are closed, which means that the value of foreign securities owned by the Portfolio could change on days when Portfolio shares cannot be bought or sold. The value of investments traded in markets outside the U.S. or denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar may be affected significantly on a day that the NYSE is closed, and the NAV of the Portfolio’s shares may change on days when an investor is not able to purchase, redeem or exchange shares. The calculation of the Portfolio’s NAV may not take place contemporaneously with the determination of the prices of foreign securities used in NAV calculations.
The Elements Portfolios adhere to authoritative fair valuation accounting standards that set out a hierarchy for measuring fair valuation inputs. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 Inputs: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Portfolio can access at the measurement date;
Level 2 Inputs: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active or in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, observable inputs other than quoted prices and inputs that are not directly observable but are corroborated by observable market data;
Level 3 Inputs: unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Inputs are used in applying the various valuation techniques and broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. A financial instrument’s level within the

fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Adviser. The Adviser considers observable data to be that market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The categorization of a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Adviser’s perceived risk of that instrument.
Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between levels during the reporting period. The following tables summarize the inputs used to value the Elements Portfolios’ investments as of May 31, 2017.

Derivative Transactions — All of the Elements Portfolios engaged in futures transactions while the Elements International Portfolio and Elements International Small Cap Portfolio also engaged in swaps transactions. These transactions were for speculative purposes, to maintain liquidity or to earn an enhanced return during the fiscal period ended May 31, 2017.
Futures Contracts — All of the Elements Portfolios engage in transactions in futures contracts and options on futures contracts. Futures contracts are standardized, exchange-traded contracts that obligate a purchaser to take delivery, and a seller to make delivery, of a specific amount of an asset at a specified future date at a specified price. A futures contract on an index is an agreement pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount of cash equal to the difference between the value of the index at the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the index contract originally was written. Although the value of an index might be a function of the value of certain specified securities, physical delivery of these securities is not always made. The Portfolios also are authorized to purchase or sell call and put options on futures contracts. The Portfolios may maintain margin for non-U.S. futures transactions directly with its broker or the clearinghouse.
The average notional amount of futures contracts during the fiscal period ended May 31, 2017, were as follows:

Total Return Swaps — All of the Elements Portfolios may enter into total return swaps. In a swap transaction, two parties generally agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on a particular predetermined reference instrument or instruments, which can be adjusted for an interest rate factor. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are generally calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a particular security or other asset or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index). Other types of swap agreements may calculate the obligations of the parties to the agreement on a “net basis.” Consequently, a party’s current obligations (or rights) under a swap agreement will generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative values of

the positions held by each party to the agreement (the “net amount”). An equity swap is an agreement in which at least one party’s payments are based on the rate of return of an equity security or equity index. The other party’s payments can be based on a fixed rate, a non-equity variable rate or even a different equity index. The average amount of long total return swaps held during the period ended May 31, 2017 was $76,663,125 for the Elements International Portfolio and $18,779,432 for the Elements International Small Cap Portfolio.

(b) Offsetting on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”) intended to help investors and other financial statement users better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a fund’s financial position. ASU 2011-11 requires entities to disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and disclose instruments and transactions subject to master netting or similar agreements. In addition, in January 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-1 “Clarifying the Scope of Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2013-1”), specifying exactly which transactions are subject to offsetting disclosures. The scope of the disclosure requirement is limited to derivative instruments, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions. The International Swap and Derivative Association (“ISDA”) agreements specify collateral posting arrangements. Under the agreements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under an agreement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold.
The Elements Portfolios are each subject to a netting arrangement, which governs the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. The netting arrangement allows the Elements Portfolios to individually close out and net their total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. The netting arrangement also specifies collateral posting arrangements at prearranged exposure levels. Under the netting agreement, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant netting arrangement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of netting arrangement.

Actual collateral pledged may be more than reported in order to satisfy broker requirements.
(c) Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(d) Indemnifications In the normal course of business, the Elements Portfolios enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Elements Portfolios’ maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be known; however, the Elements Portfolios expect any risk of loss to be remote.
(e) Federal Income Taxes The Elements Portfolios intend to qualify as “regulated investment companies” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If so qualified, the Elements Portfolios will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent they distribute substantially all of their net investment income and capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

| | | | | | | | | |

Notes to Financial Statements | | May 31, 2017 |
(f) Distributions to Shareholders The Elements Portfolios intend to distribute to their shareholders any net investment income and any net realized long- or short-term capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The Elements Portfolios each may periodically make reclassifications among certain of their capital accounts as a result of the characterization of certain income and realized gains determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from GAAP.
(g) Foreign Securities and Currency Transactions The Elements Portfolios’ books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency denominated transactions (i.e. market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities, purchases and sales of investment securities, and income and expenses) are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange. The Elements Portfolios isolate that portion of results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held and it is reported as realized gains (losses) on foreign currency translation and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency translation related items on the Elements Portfolios’ statement of operations.
The Elements International Portfolio and the Elements International Small Cap Portfolio invest primarily in foreign issued securities. Investments in foreign (non-U.S.) issuers involve risks not ordinarily associated with exposure to securities and instruments of U.S. issuers, including risks relating to political, social and economic developments affecting issuers located in foreign countries and differences between U.S. and foreign regulatory requirements and market practices, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and regulations, or foreign withholding taxes. Investing directly or indirectly in foreign securities may result in the Portfolio experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that obtains exposure exclusively in securities of U.S. issuers.
If the Elements Portfolios invest in foreign issuers by purchasing American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) (U.S. dollar-denominated depositary receipts issued generally by banks and representing the deposit with the bank of a security of a non-U.S. issuer; ADRs are publicly traded on exchanges or over-the counter in the United States), the Elements Portfolios are exposed to credit risk with respect to the issuer of the ADR, in addition to the risks of the underlying foreign securities.
(h) Other Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income, less any foreign tax withheld, is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis, including amortization/accretion of premiums or discounts. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities using the constant yield method.
(i) Restricted Securities The Elements Portfolios may invest a portion of their assets in securities that are restricted, but eligible for purchase and sale by certain qualified institutional buyers, as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as well as other restricted securities. Restricted securities may be resold in transactions that are exempt from registration under Federal securities laws or if the securities are publically registered. Restricted securities may be deemed illiquid.
(j) REIT Distributions The character of distributions received from real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) held by the Elements Portfolios is generally comprised of net investment income, capital gains, and return of capital. It is the policy of the Elements Portfolios to estimate the character of distributions received from underlying REITs based on historical data provided by the REITs. After each calendar year end, REITs report the actual tax character of these distributions. Differences between the estimated and actual amounts reported by the REITs are reflected in the Elements Portfolios’ records in the year in which they are reported by the REITs by adjusting related investment cost basis, capital gains and income, as necessary.
3. Federal Tax Matters
Provisions for federal income taxes or excise taxes have not been made since the Portfolios intend to be taxed as Regulated Investment Companies and intend to distribute substantially all taxable income and capital gains to shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to Regulated Investment Companies. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains which are included as ordinary income to shareholders for tax purposes. Additionally, GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. The reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. Permanent differences for the period ended May 31, 2017 were primarily attributable to differences in the book and tax treatment of foreign currencies realized gains and losses.

Notes to Financial Statements | | May 31, 2017 |
For the period ended May 31, 2017, the effect of permanent “book/tax” reclassifications resulted in increases and decreases to components of the Portfolios’ net assets as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | UNDISTRIBUTED NET INVESTMENT INCOME/(LOSS) | | | ACCUMULATED NET REALIZED GAIN/(LOSS) | | | PAID IN CAPITAL | |

The differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are primarily attributable to passive foreign investments and wash sales loss deferrals.
There are no capital loss carryovers for the period ended May 31, 2017.
Post-October capital losses represent losses realized on investments transactions from November 1, 2016 through May 31, 2017 that, in accordance with federal income tax regulations, a Portfolio may elect to defer and treat as arising in the following year. Late year ordinary losses represent ordinary and certain specified losses on investments transactions from January 1, 2017 through May 31, 2017 that, in accordance with federal income tax regulations, a Portfolio may elect to defer and treat as arising in the following year. The Elements Portfolios did not have post-October capital losses or late year ordinary losses for the period ended May 31, 2017.
There were no distributions during the period ended May 31, 2017.
There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on the tax returns for the period ended May 31, 2017. The period ended May 31, 2017 is the only open tax year subject to examination. The Portfolios recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the period, the Portfolios did not incur any interest or penalties.

4. Agreements
(a) Investment Management Agreement Stone Ridge Asset Management LLC (“Stone Ridge” or the “Adviser”) is the Elements Portfolios’ investment adviser. The Adviser was organized as a Delaware limited liability company in 2012. The Adviser’s primary business is to provide a variety of investment management services, including an investment program for the Elements Portfolios.
As compensation for its services, the Adviser is paid by each of the Elements Portfolios a fee, computed daily and paid monthly in arrears, at the annual rate of 0.30% of the average daily net assets for the Elements U.S. Portfolio, 0.50% of the average daily net assets for the Elements U.S. Small Cap Portfolio, 0.45% of the average daily net assets for the Elements International Portfolio, and 0.55% of the average daily net assets of the International Small Cap Portfolio.
For the Elements Portfolios, the Adviser has voluntarily waived its management fee and/or paid or otherwise borne operating and other expenses, with the result that the Elements Portfolios’ total annual fund operating expense ratio through May 31, 2017 was 0.00%.
As of May 31, 2017, the amounts waived or reimbursed by the Adviser with respect to the Elements U.S. Portfolio, the Elements U.S. Small Cap Portfolio, the Elements International Portfolio, and the Elements International Small Cap Portfolio were $504,934, $516,062, $221,898, and $130,890, respectively. The Adviser is not eligible to recover the previously waived or reimbursed expenses since the expenses were waived or reimbursed on a voluntary basis.
(b) Custodian, Administrator and Transfer Agent The custodian to the Trust is U.S. Bank, N.A. The administrator and transfer agent to the Trust is U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, an affiliate of U.S. Bank, N.A.
(c) Distributor Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of U.S. Bank, N.A., serves as the Elements Portfolios’ distributor.
5. Distribution Plan
The Elements Portfolios pay fees to the Distributor, on an ongoing basis as compensation for the services the Distributor renders and the expenses it bears in connection with the sale and distribution of shares (“distribution fees”) and/or in connection with personal services rendered to shareholders and the maintenance of shareholder accounts (“servicing fees”). These payments are made pursuant to a Distribution and Servicing Plan (“12b-1 Plan”) adopted by each Elements Portfolio pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The maximum annual rate at which the distribution and/or servicing fees may be paid under the 12b-1 Plan (calculated as a percentage of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets) is 0.25%. Each Portfolio currently pays a rate of 0.10% unless authorized by the Board of Trustees to pay a higher rate (not to exceed 0.25%). Because 12b-1 fees are paid out of a Portfolio’s assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than other types of sales charges.
6. Offering Costs
Offering costs include state registration fees and legal fees regarding the preparation of the initial registration statement. Offering costs are accounted for as deferred costs until operations begin and are then amortized to expense over twelve months on a straight-line basis. The offering costs incurred were $9,456 for the Elements U.S. Portfolio, $15,790 for the Elements U.S. Small Cap Portfolio, $10,171 for the Elements International Portfolio, and $10,171 for the Elements International Small Cap Portfolio.
7. Related Parties
Certain officers of the Trust are also employees of the Adviser. The Officers, with the exception of a portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s salary, are not compensated by the Trust.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Stone Ridge Trust
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of the Elements U.S Portfolio, Elements U.S Small Cap Portfolio, Elements International Portfolio and Elements International Small Cap Portfolio (four of the portfolios constituting Stone Ridge Trust) (collectively the Funds), as of May 31, 2017, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective Funds constituting Stone Ridge Trust at May 31, 2017, the results of their operations, changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Expense Examples (Unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Elements Portfolios (each a “Portfolio”, together the “Portfolios”), you incur ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Portfolio expenses, which are indirectly paid by shareholders. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in U.S. dollars) of investing in a Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 3, 2017 through May 31, 2017 for the Elements U.S. Portfolio and the Elements U.S. Small Cap Portfolio and from May 1, 2017 through May 31, 2017 for the Elements International Portfolio and the Elements International Small Cap Portfolio.
Actual Expenses
The first line on each table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. However, the table does not include shareholder specific fees, such as the $15.00 fee charged for wire redemptions by the Portfolios’ transfer agent. The table also does not include portfolio trading commissions and related trading costs. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example For Comparison Purposes
The second line on each table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio for each Portfolio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolios and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other fund. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relevant total cost of owning different funds.

Additional Information (Unaudited) |
1. Board Approval of Management Agreement
The 1940 Act requires that the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Trust, including a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) as defined in the 1940 Act, approve any new investment management agreement for a registered investment company, such as the investment management agreement (the “Initial Agreement”) between the Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of the Portfolios, each a series of the Trust. At an in-person meeting held January 24, 2017, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, considered and approved the Initial Agreement for a two-year period. In its consideration of the Initial Agreement, the Board considered information and materials furnished by the Adviser in advance of and at the meeting and was afforded the opportunity to request additional information and to ask questions of the Adviser to obtain information that it believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Initial Agreement. In determining whether to approve the Initial Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as determinative; individual trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the Board considered the investment management services to be provided by the Adviser, including management of each Portfolio in accordance with its investment objective, investment policies, investment restrictions and applicable law; investment selection and monitoring; selection of trading counterparties and order management; the creation and implementation of ongoing analytical and risk management strategies; the Adviser’s investment in infrastructure, technology and personnel needed to implement each Portfolio’s investment program; and the oversight and/or implementation of policies and procedures necessary to fulfill these responsibilities. The Board considered other services to be provided by the Adviser, including proxy voting, monitoring potential conflicts of interest and maintaining regulatory compliance programs for the Portfolios. In addition, the Board considered the qualifications and professional backgrounds of the Adviser’s personnel who would provide significant advisory or other services to each Portfolio under the Initial Agreement and analyzed the Adviser’s ongoing ability to service the Portfolios through such personnel. Based on this and the related information, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services supported approval of the Initial Agreement.
The Board noted that the Portfolios had not yet commenced operations and that, therefore, there was no performance to consider at that time.
In considering the cost of services to be provided and the potential benefits to be realized by the Adviser from its relationship with each Portfolio, the Board considered the fees to be paid under the Initial Agreement and the projected expense ratio for each Portfolio, and considered the Adviser’s anticipated voluntary expense waivers/reimbursements. In considering the appropriateness of the advisory fees and expense ratios applicable to the Portfolios, the Board also compared this data against corresponding information for certain funds included in the Morningstar categories to which the Portfolios’ administrator believed the Portfolios would be assigned. The Board noted that the Investment Manager had requested that each Portfolio’s benchmark, asset size and share class be used as screening factors in identifying each Portfolio’s peer group. The Board took into consideration information provided by the Adviser relating to the Adviser’s financial health, profitability and the benefits that the Adviser would derive from the Initial Agreement. The Board also noted that the Adviser may receive reputational and other fallout benefits from its relationships with the Portfolios. Based on the foregoing information and other factors deemed relevant, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the advisory fee arrangements applicable to each of the Portfolios were fair and reasonable and that the costs of the services to be provided by the Adviser and the related benefits to the Adviser in respect of its relationships with the Portfolios supported approval of the Initial Agreement.
After reviewing this and related information, the Board considered the extent to which economies of scale in the provision of services by the Adviser might be realized as the Portfolios grew. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that it would consider ways and the extent to which economies of scale might be shared between the Adviser and shareholders of the Portfolios after the Portfolios had been in operation for a period of time.
Based on a consideration and evaluation of all factors deemed to be relevant, including the foregoing matters, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Initial Agreement should be approved for a two-year period.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.
The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. The registrant has not made any substantive amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report.
A copy of the registrant’s Code of Ethics is filed herewith.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The registrant’s board of trustees has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Jeffery Ekberg is the “audit committee financial expert” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and are not included as “audit services”. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning including review of the Portfolios’ tax returns, asset diversification and income testing, excise taxes, and fiscal year end income calculations. “All other fees” refer to the aggregate fees for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported in the foregoing three categories. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

Audit Fees | | $ | 100,000 | | | | N/A | |
Audit-Related Fees | | | — | | | | N/A | |
Tax Fees | | | 27,000 | | | | N/A | |
All Other Fees | | | — | | | | N/A | |
To the extent required by applicable law, pre-approval by the audit committee is needed for all audit and permissible non-audit services rendered to the registrant and all permissible non-audit services rendered to Stone Ridge Asset Management LLC (the “Adviser”) or to various entities either controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser that provide ongoing services to the registrant if the services relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant. Pre-approval is currently on an engagement-by-engagement basis.
The percentage of fees billed by Ernst & Young, LLP applicable to non-audit services that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (which permits waiver of pre-approval, if certain conditions are satisfied) were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | FYE 5/31/2017 | | | FYE 5/31/2016 | |
Audit-Related Fees | | | 0 | % | | | N/A | |
Tax Fees | | | 0 | % | | | N/A | |
All Other Fees | | | 0 | % | | | N/A | |
All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.
The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the registrant’s investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for the last two fiscal years of the registrant. The audit committee of the board of trustees has considered whether the provision of any non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the registrant’s investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
