What the fund does

The venture and growth building block of the StepStone platform invests through secondaries, primaries and co-investments in growth companies across Europe and North America — as a Luxembourg Part II SICAV, launched in 2022.

Liquidity

As with its sister fund, a quarterly repurchase programme applies instead of a redemption right — with a quarterly quota half the size of the buyout-oriented StepStone products. No minimum holding period, no redemption fee.

Access

Subscription from EUR 25,000 for professional investors with private-markets experience; not registered for distribution in Germany.

ContextEditorial

Together with Hamilton Lane's venture vehicle, it shows the field's pattern: venture portfolios get half the liquidity quota — here made transparent rather than hidden. A multi-year record since 2022 distinguishes it from younger competitors.

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 2.5% of the sub-fund NAV of the relevant quarter - half the rate of the sister funds SPRIM and STRUCTURE. The valuation reference date is the quarter end (31 Mar, 30 Jun, 30 Sep, 31 Dec); the repurchase takes effect as at the first business day of the following quarter.

The 2.5% limit is the size of the repurchase offer, not a gate applied after the event: if the units tendered exceed this volume, the General Partner scales back pro rata by value; unserved requests are not automatically carried forward into the following quarter.
