StepStone recognizes the role that effective stewardship activities can play in private markets, particularly given the nature of investment relationships and extended holding periods for investments. Our stewardship efforts are supported and directed by our culture, which is informed by our core values. Our fiduciary duty to our clients is central to our values, which are paramount to the success of our organization and are deeply embedded in all aspects of our business, policies and processes.

We recognize our responsibility to not only add economic value but conduct our business in a way that fosters an enduring organization and contributes to a more sustainable economy. We see it as our duty as stewards and responsible investors to embody the culture and values of StepStone in the work that we do every day.

This policy is implemented by the Responsible Investment (‘RI’) Committee and applied globally across the firm’s asset classes and investment strategies.
