Stone Ridge All Asset Variance Risk Premium Fund

Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Fund’s shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from your financial intermediary or, if you invest directly through the Fund’s transfer agent, U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (the “Transfer Agent”), from the Transfer Agent. Instead, the reports will be made available on a website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.

If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. You may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications electronically by contacting your financial intermediary.

You may elect to receive all future reports in paper free of charge by contacting your financial intermediary or, if you invest directly through the Transfer Agent, by contacting the Transfer Agent at (855) 609-3680. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held in your account if you invest through a financial intermediary or all funds within the fund complex if you invest directly through the Transfer Agent.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements   April 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

Stone Ridge Trust III (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 17, 2014 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as a continuously-offered diversified closed-end management investment company issuing shares. As of April 30, 2020, the Trust consisted of one series: the Stone Ridge All Asset Variance Risk Premium Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund commenced operations on April 2, 2015. The Fund offers one class of shares to investors with no front-end or back-end sales charges, a 0.05% fee paid pursuant to the Distribution and Servicing Plan (as discussed below), a 0.05% fee paid pursuant to the Services Agreement (as discussed below), and no repurchase fee. The Trust’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust authorizes the issuance of an unlimited number of shares.

The Fund has an interval fund structure pursuant to which the Fund, subject to applicable law, conducts quarterly repurchase offers of the Fund’s outstanding shares at net asset value (“NAV”), subject to approval of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In all cases, such repurchase offers will be for at least 5% and not more than 25% of the Fund’s outstanding shares. In connection with any given repurchase offer, it is possible that the Fund may offer to repurchase only the minimum amount of 5% of its outstanding shares. It is also possible that a repurchase offer may be oversubscribed, with the result that shareholders may only be able to have a portion of their shares repurchased. If the repurchase offer is oversubscribed, the Fund may, in its sole discretion, repurchase an additional number of shares not to exceed 2% of the shares outstanding on the repurchase request deadline. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under certain circumstances, the Fund may, in its discretion, accept shares tendered by shareholders who own fewer than 100 shares and tender all of their shares for repurchase in a repurchase offer. In that case, these shares would be accepted before prorating the shares tendered by other shareholders. In addition, if a repurchase offer is oversubscribed, the Fund may offer to repurchase additional shares in an amount determined by the Board that are tendered by an estate (an “Estate Offer”). If an Estate Offer is oversubscribed, the Fund will repurchase such shares on a pro rata basis. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to repurchase all of the shares tendered in an Estate Offer. If the Fund repurchases any shares pursuant to an Estate Offer, this will not affect the number of shares that it repurchases from other shareholders in the quarterly repurchase offers. The Fund’s shares are not listed, and the Fund does not currently intend to list its shares for trading on any national securities exchange. The shares are therefore illiquid. Even though the Fund makes quarterly repurchase offers to repurchase a portion of the shares to provide liquidity to shareholders, shareholders should consider the shares to be illiquid. There is not expected to be any secondary trading market in the shares.

The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve capital appreciation. The Fund pursues its investment objective primarily by receiving premiums in connection with its derivative contracts (including put and call options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, and swaps) related to a variety of asset classes that the Adviser (as defined herein) believes offer variance risk premiums.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Stone Ridge All Asset Variance Risk Premium Sub Fund Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly-owned and controlled subsidiary of the Fund. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Subsidiary gains exposure to the commodities markets by investing in commodity-linked derivatives such as commodity-linked futures, options and swaps. As of April 30, 2020, the Subsidiary’s net assets were $93,419,708.14, which represented 26.7% of the Fund’s net assets.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Fund is an investment company and applies 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 has approved procedures pursuant to which the Fund values its investments (the “Valuation Procedures”). The Board has established an Adviser Valuation Committee made up of employees of Stone Ridge Asset Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) to which the Board has delegated responsibility for overseeing the implementation of the Valuation Procedures and fair value determinations made on behalf of the Board.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements   April 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

Listed below is a summary of certain of the methods generally used currently to value investments of the Fund under the Valuation Procedures:

Short-term debt instruments, such as money market funds, 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 NAV 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 Fund’s 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”).

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.

Non-exchange traded derivatives, including over-the-counter (“OTC”) options, are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by a pricing service or using quotes provided by a broker/dealer (typically the counterparty).

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, the Fund 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 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 Fund. 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 Fund.

A substantial portion of the Fund’s investments are U.S. dollar denominated investments. 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 Fund’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 Fund could change on days when Fund 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 Fund’s shares may change on days when an investor is not able to purchase shares or sell shares in connection with a periodic repurchase offer. The calculation of the Fund’s NAV may not take place contemporaneously with the determination of the prices of foreign securities used in NAV calculations.

The Fund adheres 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 significant 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 Fund can access at the measurement date;

Level 2 Inputs: inputs other than quoted prices included in 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: significant 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.

Other financial instruments are derivatives, such as futures and forward currency contracts. These instruments are reflected at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument.

Derivative Transactions — The Fund engaged in derivatives for hedging and speculative purposes during the period ended April 30, 2020. The use of derivatives included options, futures, swaps and forward currency contracts.

Futures Contracts — The Fund purchases and sells futures contracts and held futures contracts during the period ended April 30, 2020. The Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure or to hedge asset classes such as equities, currencies, commodities and fixed income. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Upon entering into a contract, the Fund deposits and maintains as collateral, an initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund

agrees to receive from or pay to the broker, an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains and losses. Variation margin is settled daily. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. In connection with physically-settled futures contracts, the Fund is required under the 1940 Act to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities. The amount of the segregated assets is required to be adjusted daily to reflect the market value of the purchase obligation for long futures contracts or the market value of the instrument underlying the contract, but not less than the market price at which the futures contract was established, for short futures contracts. The average notional amount of futures contracts during the period ended April 30, 2020, was $331,044,735 for long contracts and $428,791,278 for short contracts.

Options — The Fund purchases and writes call or put options on securities, indices, futures contracts, including commodity futures contracts, and enter into related closing transactions. The Fund wrote call and put options during the period ended April 30, 2020. The Fund writes put and call options to earn premium income. With certain options, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since options are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded options, guarantees the options against default. OTC options are customized agreements between the parties. With OTC options, there is no clearinghouse guarantee against default, thus OTC options are subject to the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligations under the contract.

As the writer of a call option, the Fund has the obligation to sell the security at the exercise price during or at the expiration of the exercise period. As a writer of a put option, the Fund has the obligation to buy the underlying security at the exercise price during or at the expiration of the exercise period. The premium that the Fund pays when purchasing a call option or receives when writing a call option will reflect, among other things, the market price of the security, the relationship of the exercise price to the market price of the security, the relationship of the exercise price to the volatility of the security, the length of the option period and supply and demand factors. The premium is the market value of the option.

A purchaser (holder) of a put option pays a non-refundable premium to the seller (writer) of a put option to obtain the right to sell a specified amount of a security at a fixed price (the exercise price) during a specified period (the exercise period). Conversely, the seller (writer) of a put option, upon payment by the holder of the premium, has the obligation to buy the security from the holder of the put option at the exercise price during the exercise period. When an option is exercised, the premium originally received decreases the cost basis of the underlying security (or increases the proceeds on the security sold short) and the Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the security (or closing of the short sale).

Options on indices are similar to options on securities, except that upon exercise index options require cash payments and do not involve the actual purchase or sale of securities.

The average market value of written options for the period ended April 30, 2020 was $82,196,291.

Forward Currency Contracts — The Fund enters into forward currency contracts. When entering into a forward currency contract, in the case of a deliverable contract the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date or in the case of a non-deliverable contract to settle the equivalent in U.S. dollar. The Fund’s net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date. These instruments may involve market risk from movements in currencies or credit risk from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The average notional amount of forward currency contracts during the period ended April 30, 2020 was $90,840,192 for long contracts and $418,018,071 for short contracts.

Swaps

Correlation Swaps — The Fund enters into correlation swaps. Correlation swaps are transactions in which counterparties agree to buy or sell the future realized correlation on an underlying reference basket of securities or instruments at a specific level over a fixed period. Correlation swaps are subject to all the risks of OTC derivatives generally, including counterparty risks (if the counterparty fails to meet its obligations) and the risk that the Adviser is

incorrect in forecasts of correlation on the underlying reference basket. The average notional amount of correlation swaps held during the period ended April 30, 2020 was $0 for short contracts.

Credit Default Swaps — The Fund enters into credit default swaps. A credit default swap enables an investor to buy or sell protection against a credit event, such as a borrower’s or issuer’s failure to make timely payments of interest or principal, bankruptcy or restructuring. The Fund may seek to enhance returns by selling protection or attempt to mitigate credit risk by buying protection against the occurrence of a credit event by a specified borrower or issuer. If the Fund buys credit protection using a credit default swap and a credit event occurs, the Fund will deliver the defaulted bond underlying the swap and the swap counterparty will pay the par amount of the bond. If the Fund sells credit protection using a credit default swap and a credit event occurs, the Fund will pay the par amount of the defaulted bond underlying the swap and the swap counterparty will deliver the bond. If the swap is on a basket of assets, the notional amount of the swap is reduced by the par amount of the defaulted asset, and the fixed payments are then made on the reduced notional amount. Risks of credit default swaps include all the risks of OTC derivatives generally, including counterparty credit risk (if the counterparty fails to meet its obligations) and the risk that the Fund will not properly assess the cost of the instrument based on the lack of transparency in the market. If the Fund is selling credit protection, there is a risk that a credit event will occur and that the Fund will have to pay par value on defaulted bonds. If the Fund is buying credit protection, there is a risk that no credit event will occur, and the Fund will receive no benefit for the premium paid. In addition, if the Fund is buying credit protection and a credit event does occur, there is a risk when the Fund does not own the underlying asset, that the Fund will have difficulty acquiring the asset on the open market and may receive adverse pricing. The average notional amount of credit default swaps during the period ended April 30, 2020 was $72,321,714 for contracts in which the Fund purchased protection and $14,500,000 for contracts in which the Fund sold protection.

Volatility Swaps and Variance Swaps — The Fund enters into volatility and/or variance swaps. Volatility swaps and variance swaps are transactions in which counterparties agree to economically buy or sell volatility or variance (which equals volatility squared), as the case may be, of the underlying reference at a specific level over a fixed period. Volatility and variance swaps are subject to credit risks (if the counterparty fails to meet its obligations), and the risk that the Adviser is incorrect in forecasts of volatility and/or variance of the underlying reference. The average notional amount of variance swaps held during the period ended April 30, 2020 was $0 for long contracts and $0 for short contracts. The Fund did not hold volatility swaps during the period ended April 30, 2020.

(b) Offsetting on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities The Fund is subject to netting arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. The netting arrangements allow the Fund to close out and net its 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 arrangements also specify collateral posting arrangements at prearranged exposure levels. Under the netting arrangements, collateral is routinely transferred if the

Actual collateral pledged may be more than reported in order to satisfy broker requirements.

(c) Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be known; however, the Fund expects any risk of loss to be remote.

(e) Federal Income Taxes The Fund qualifies and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a RIC, the Fund will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

(f) Distributions to Shareholders The Fund intends to distribute to its shareholders any net investment income and any net realized long- or short-term capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its 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 Fund’s 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 Fund does not 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.

(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/

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements   April 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

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 Fund may invest 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 publicly registered. Restricted securities may be deemed illiquid.

(j) COVID-19 An outbreak of infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 was first detected in China in December 2019 and subsequently spread globally. This coronavirus has resulted in travel restrictions and disruptions, closed borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, quarantines, event cancellations and restrictions, service cancellations or reductions, disruptions to business operations, supply chains and customer activity, lower consumer demand for goods and services, as well as general concern and uncertainty that has negatively affected the economic environment. The impact of this outbreak could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy, the financial performance of individual issuers, borrowers and sectors and the health of capital markets and other markets generally in potentially significant and unforeseen ways. This crisis may also exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and its effects cannot be determined with certainty. The foregoing could lead to a significant economic downturn or recession, increased market volatility, a greater number of market closures, higher default rates and adverse effects on the values and liquidity of securities or other assets. Such impacts present material uncertainty and risk with respect to the Fund’s investment performance and financial results.

3. Federal Tax Matters

Provisions for federal income taxes or excise taxes have not been made since the Fund intends to be taxed as a Regulated Investment Company and intends to distribute substantially all taxable income 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.

For the year ended October 31, 2019, the effect of permanent “book/tax” reclassifications resulted in increases and decreases to components of the Fund’s net assets as follows:

These differences primarily relate to realized foreign currency gains/(losses), tax treatment of swap contracts, net operating losses, and income from Subsidiary.

As of October 31, 2019, the components of accumulated earnings (losses) for income tax purposes were as follows:

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to adjustments involving Subsidiary and investments in derivatives.

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 return for the fiscal year-ended October 31, 2019, or for any other tax years which are open for exam. As of October 31, 2018, open tax years include the periods ended October 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

4. Agreements

(a) Investment Management Agreement The Adviser is the investment adviser of the Fund and 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 Fund.

As compensation for its services, the Adviser is paid by the Fund a fee, computed daily and paid monthly in arrears, at an annual rate of 2.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Under an investment management agreement with the Subsidiary, the Adviser provides the Subsidiary with the same type of management services as the Adviser provides to the Fund in respect of the Fund’s exposure to commodity interests. To the extent the Adviser receives compensation for providing such services to the Subsidiary, the Adviser will not receive compensation from the Fund in respect of the assets of the Fund that are invested in the Subsidiary.

Through February 28, 2021, the Adviser has agreed to waive its advisory fee and/or pay or otherwise bear operating and other expenses of the Fund (including offering expenses, but excluding brokerage and transactional expenses, borrowing and other investment-related costs and fees including interest and commitment fees, short dividend expense, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, litigation and indemnification expenses; judgments and extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business (collectively, the “Excluded Expenses”) solely to the extent necessary to limit the total annual fund operating expenses to 2.60% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The Adviser shall be permitted to recoup in later periods Fund expenses that the Adviser has paid or otherwise borne (whether through reduction of its management fee or otherwise) to the extent that the expenses for the Fund (including offering expenses, but excluding Excluded Expenses) after such recoupment do not exceed the lower of (i) the annual expense limitation rate in effect at the time of the actual waiver/reimbursement and (ii) the annual expense limitation rate in effect at the time of the recoupment. However, the Adviser shall not be, and under the expense limitation agreements that were in place during the period covered by this report the Adviser was not, permitted to recoup such expenses beyond three years from the end of the month in which the Adviser waived a fee or reimbursed an expense. During the

period ended April 30, 2020, the Adviser has waived $394,998, which is disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Adviser may recoup up to this amount by its expiration within the fiscal year ending October 31, 2023.

(b) Custodian, Administrator, and Transfer Agent The custodian to the Fund is U.S. Bank, N.A. The administrator and transfer agent to the Fund is U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, an affiliate of U.S. Bank, N.A.

(c) Distributor ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) serves as the Fund’s distributor.

5. Services Agreement

Servicing fees and distribution fees may be paid pursuant to a Distribution and Servicing Plan dated as of March 1, 2018 at the maximum annual rate of 0.05% and servicing fees may be paid pursuant to an amended and restated Services Agreement between the Fund and the Adviser dated as of March 1, 2018, under which the Fund has appointed the Adviser as “servicing agent” to compensate financial intermediaries, at an annual rate of 0.05%, in each case calculated as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets. (Under the prior Services Agreement, the servicing fees were paid at an annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.) These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an ongoing basis and may be administered or facilitated by the Distributor. Intermediaries generally receive payments pursuant to both the Distribution and Servicing Plan and the Services Agreement. The Adviser performs certain services and incurs certain expenses through its employees who are registered representatives of a broker-dealer with respect to the promotion of the Fund’s Shares and the Adviser also performs certain services in connection with the servicing of shareholders. If amounts remain from the servicing fees and/or any distribution fees after the intermediaries have been paid, such amounts may be used to compensate the Adviser for the services it provides and for the expenses it bears. The Distributor does not retain any portion of any servicing fees or distribution fees. To the extent that there are expenses associated with shareholder services that exceed the amounts payable pursuant to the Services Agreement or the Distribution and Servicing Plan, the Fund will bear such expenses.

6. Related Parties

Certain officers of the Trust are also employees of the Adviser. The officers, with the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer, are not compensated by the Trust. The Trust pays a portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s salary.

7. Investment Transactions

For the period ended April 30, 2020, aggregate purchases and sales of securities, excluding short-term securities and including equity security transactions related to options exercises, were $0 and $0, respectively. The Fund did not have any purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government securities during the period ended April 30, 2020.

9. Line of Credit

As of April 30, 2020, the Fund together with four series of funds in Stone Ridge Trust, had an uncommitted line of credit (the “Line”) with U.S. Bank N.A. The Line is for liquidity in connection with shareholder redemptions and portfolio timing differences. The Line is not secured by the Fund’s assets and has a maximum withdrawal capacity of the lesser of 5% of the net assets of the Fund or $50,000,000 less any loans outstanding with any of the four series of funds in Stone Ridge Trust in excess of $25,000,000. The Line has a one-year term which runs through October 24, 2020 and is reviewed annually by the Board of Trustees. During the period ended April 30, 2020, the Fund did not draw on the Line.

10. Subsequent Events Evaluation

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Fund has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure resulting from subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. This evaluation did not result in any subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments.

Expense Example (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees and other Fund 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 the Fund 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 November 1, 2019 through April 30, 2020.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the 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 Fund’s 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 of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratios of the Fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’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 Fund 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.
