StepStone offers customized portfolio construction through managed accounts and advisory relationships. We have extensive experience working with pension funds, sovereign funds, endowments and foundations to design customized private equity programs, ranging from conducting initial launches to enhancing established programs.
When designing a private equity program and optimizing the portfolio allocation, StepStone utilizes a research-intensive investment process, supplemented by the extensive use of analytical techniques, to identify those managers that are exceptional and whose investment strategies, firm resources and philosophies are best positioned to outperform the market on a risk-adjusted basis.
This process is further enhanced by our sector specialization, which provides valuable domain expertise, and the information advantages provided by StepStone’s integrated private equity platform.
Our integrated platform also offers a distinct sourcing advantage, providing increased access to highly sought-after general partners. We maintain a comprehensive pipeline of fund managers that span the globe. Our Firm has relationships with over 500 general partners and a proprietary database that contains information on over 11,000 funds.
Each year, StepStone actively reviews several hundred private placement memorandums of private equity partnerships across a number of strategies and geographies and meets with hundreds of private equity managers.
