The platform is made up of four integrated pillars: Infrastructure, Real Estate, Credit and Private Equity, and includes Primary, Secondary and Co investments capabilities. The group prioritizes the importance of research, with a proprietary database covering 19,500 companies, 18,000 funds and 6,500 GPs.
Shannon Bolton, country head of CSP for Chile and Peru adds that “StepStone is one of the most powerful houses in the industry of private markets and, in particular, the world of private equity. The significant amount of annual primary capital (USD 7-8B) is paramount to driving co-investments (individual investments alongside a GP) and secondary opportunities.
