C000211206 Investment Objective and Strategy
Elements International Portfolio describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Stone Ridge Trust.
Investment objective
The Elements International Portfolio’s (the “Portfolio”) investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
The Portfolio seeks to capture the equity risk premium by investing in a broad and diverse group of securities of companies associated with countries, other than the United States, with developed markets. The equity risk premium is positive if investment returns for equity securities exceed the risk-free rate, on average and over time. The risk-free rate is the rate of return that can be earned on high quality, short-term government debt securities. There can be no assurance that the equity risk premium will be positive for the Portfolios investments at any time or on average and over time. The Portfolio is constructed from a market capitalization-weighted portfolio of operating companies associated with developed market countries, other than the United States, that the Adviser has designated as approved markets.
The Adviser may set country or region weights for particular countries or regions, in which case market capitalization weighting will occur based on the relative market capitalization of companies within each such country or region. This market capitalization-weighted portfolio is referred to as the Universe of International Companies. See Investment Objectives, Strategies and Risks More Information Regarding Investment Strategies Approved Markets below. Market capitalization weighting means that, in general, the higher the relative market capitalization (number of outstanding shares multiplied by the market price per share) of a particular company, the greater its representation in the Universe of International Companies. The representation of an eligible company in the Universe of International Companies may also be adjusted by the Adviser for free float.
Adjustment for free float modifies market capitalization weighting to exclude, in whole or in part, the share capital of a company that is not freely available for trading in the public equity markets, such as, for example, shares held by certain strategic investors (e.g., governments, controlling shareholders and management), treasury shares or shares subject to foreign ownership restrictions. After determining the Universe of International Companies, the Adviser adjusts the allocation of the Portfolio to increase the Portfolios exposure to companies that exhibit certain properties, generally referred to as factors, that the Adviser believes may contribute to a positive equity risk premium. These factors currently include small size, value, momentum or quality. The Adviser may also adjust the representation of an eligible company or country in the Portfolio, or exclude a company or country, after considering such other factors as the Adviser determines to be appropriate from time to time, and may in the future cease to make such adjustments for any or all of small size, value, momentum or quality.
Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio invests at least 40% of its assets in three or more non-U.S. countries. The Portfolio invests significantly in common stocks, either directly or indirectly, including through derivative instruments such as equity index futures contracts or options on equity index futures contracts, equity swaps or equity index swaps, or equity options or equity index options. The Portfolio may gain exposure to companies associated with approved markets by investing in securities in the form of depositary receipts, which may be listed or traded outside the issuers domicile country. The Portfolio also uses derivatives for hedging purposes, to maintain liquidity or to earn an enhanced return. In addition, the Portfolio enters into securities lending transactions and may enter into similar transactions such as reverse repurchase transactions with its portfolio securities to generate additional income.
The Portfolio may invest in small companies that are considered mid-cap, small-cap or micro-cap companies. A portion of the Portfolios assets may be held in cash or cash-equivalent investments, including, but not limited to, money market funds. The Portfolio may also invest in exchange-traded funds or other pooled investment vehicles. The Adviser may consider the tax consequences of the Portfolios investment strategy, but there is no assurance that the Portfolio will be successfully managed in a tax-advantaged manner.
