StepStone Group partners with PitchBook for deal-level benchmarking

StepStone Group (NASDAQ: STEP) and PitchBook announced a partnership to provide deal-level performance benchmarks through the PitchBook platform. The collaboration will combine data from StepStone's SPI platform with PitchBook's private capital market intelligence.

The partnership aims to deliver deal-level analytics across private equity buyout, venture capital, growth equity, and infrastructure investments. Users will access performance metrics, operating data, and benchmarking capabilities through aggregated and anonymized outputs.

"Private markets investors are demanding greater transparency and more sophisticated analytics to navigate an increasingly complex landscape," said Tyler Johnson, Partner and Chief Technology Officer at StepStone Group. "By partnering with PitchBook, we are delivering a solution that empowers investors to compare deal performance and operating metrics more granularly."

The offering will provide enhanced deal-level analytics with filtering capabilities across strategy, industry, geography, size, and time period. Fund managers will gain access to granular benchmarks for fundraising and reporting purposes, while investors can analyze performance drivers at the deal level rather than fund level.

"Our partnership with StepStone brings institutional-grade, deal- and operating-level benchmarking into their PitchBook workflow," said Joanna McGinley, EVP of Strategic Partnerships and Initiatives at PitchBook.

The service is expected to launch in the second quarter of 2026. It will be available to fund managers and service providers through the PitchBook platform and to investors through SPI by StepStone.

StepStone manages approximately $220 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2025, with total capital responsibility of $811 billion. PitchBook, a Morningstar (NASDAQ: MORN) company, serves more than 100,000 clients worldwide and employs over 3,000 people globally.
