Operating out of four offices across three continents, we invest in funds and service clients that span the globe. Each of our offices—New York, London, San Diego and Beijing—is led by one or more Partners. We do not have traditional corporate headquarters. We operate as a truly global business with broad geographic distribution of firm-wide responsibilities. We believe this operating style allows us to uniquely integrate a variety of nationalities, and resulting cultural diversity, of our employees.

In addition to maintaining a uniquely global operating approach and philosophy, StepStone emphasizes maintaining very local investment teams in the different geographies in which we invest. This includes ensuring that investment staff speaks the local language, has a deep understanding of the local culture and customs and has locally focused investment experience and relationships.

To support our local investment activities StepStone maintains detailed information on private equity funds and investments in all major private equity investment markets. StepStone’s proprietary database,SPI™, covers 2,500 sponsors in North America, nearly 1,000 sponsors in Europe, 700 sponsors in Asia and Australia, and 150 sponsors across Latin America, Africa and the Middle East.
