About Stone Ridge Asset Management

Stone Ridge is a global asset management firm founded in 2012 with over $2.5B in assets under management. We are based in New York, with additional associates in Beijing, Shenzhen, Chicago, San Francisco, and Boston

At Stone Ridge, we strive to deliver the next chapter of financial innovations: valuable, diversifying streams of alternative returns sourced solely from non-traditional risk exposures—alternative beta, not alpha. This philosophy means we believe strongly in the efficiency of markets and the link between risk and return.  We leverage this link to create global opportunities for portfolio enhancement with a family of risk-specific strategies and products.

Our rules-based approach automates execution of complex strategies, making them accessible, liquid, and cost-effective. Our evolving set of rules aims to systematically capture the returns available from each individual risk we bear.  Informed by decades of alternative investment management experience, academic influences, and institutional trading background, our rules draw upon almost a century of asset price data across a wide spectrum of asset classes and market regimes.  The overall result is an automated, process-driven collection of investment strategies designed to build long-term wealth for our investors.
