What the fund does

StepStone Private Markets pools secondaries, primaries and co-investments from the fund-of-funds specialist StepStone — as a Luxembourg SICAV-RAIF, launched in 2022, with no performance fee at fund level.

Liquidity

Formally there is no redemption right: the fund offers quarterly repurchases at the manager's discretion, capped per quarter. No lock-up, no redemption discount; NAV determination is weekly — unusually frequent for the category.

Access

Subscription from EUR 25,000; as a RAIF, for well-informed and professional investors, not registered for distribution in Germany.

ContextEditorial

The US-style repurchase-programme model in a European wrapper — legally weaker than a redemption right, but in the practice of the US sister structure reliably honoured for years: the difference sits in the small print, not necessarily in the outcome.

Figures for class RC USD (LU3044418955) · product data 25 Sep 2026 · sources: prospectus (as at 1 Aug 2026), PRIIPs-KID, Factsheet — full list under 08 documents.

01Performance

Since the data series began in May 2025, the unit price has gained 4.1% per year. The series is monthly; valuations of private holdings arrive quarterly and smoothed — the line is therefore calmer than the risk.

Compulsory redemptionCompulsory repurchase of the entire holding where the value falls below USD 10,000 or below the minimum initial subscription.

Quarterly repurchase offer of up to 5% of the sub-fund NAV for the relevant quarter, effective in each case as at the last Wednesday of the quarter (or the next business day). There is no redemption right: investors can dispose of their units only through this offer. If the offer is oversubscribed, the General Partner scales back pro rata by value; it may also extend the offer or take other measures.

The 5% limit is not a gate in the classic sense but the size of the repurchase offer: each quarter the sub-fund offers to repurchase up to 5% of its NAV; where the units tendered exceed that volume, they are scaled back pro rata by value. The General Partner may in addition extend, suspend or postpone the offer; there is no entitlement to redemption.
