This team has been so much fun to watch all season long, and Bulldog Nation is ready for another exciting game. Moments like this remind me what's possible when talented students, dedicated coaches, and a passionate community come together. I hope you'll join me in cheering on the Dawgs from Omaha, Athens or wherever you are around the world. Go Dawgs! #NeverBarkAlone

Brett Garner liked thisBrett Garner liked thisPrivate markets now has deal-level benchmarks. StepStone Group and PitchBook have partnered to bring deal-level performance and operating metrics into PitchBook’s platform. The data draws from StepStone’s proprietary SPI database, aggregated and anonymized across their portfolio. SPI draws on StepStone’s $811 billion in total capital across some of the world’s largest pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and endowments. It’s one of the largest cross-portfolio datasets in private markets, and at that scale, the comparisons are statistically meaningful. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀: • Performance, deployment, exposure and value creation - analyzed at the deal level • Filtering by strategy, sector, geography, deal size and vintage • Coverage across PE buyout, venture capital, growth equity and infrastructure 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: Fund-level comparisons hide what’s actually driving returns. Deal-level data lets managers separate alpha from beta, underwrite with more precision and articulate track records with specifics rather than averages. “Private markets investors are demanding greater transparency and more sophisticated analytics to navigate an increasingly complex landscape,” said Tyler Johnson, CFA, Partner and CTO at StepStone Group. The offering is expected to launch Q2 2026. Congratulations to Tyler Johnson, Joanna McGinley, and the entire StepStone and PitchBook teams. — Stay current on the evolution of private markets by subscribing to our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/dymHHUvD And follow The Private Markets Forum for posts on the people + firms shaping next-gen private markets.
