The Kroll StepStone Private Credit Benchmarks support the continued growth of private capital markets by allowing users to compare their strategies against a dynamic and accurate market barometer.

The Benchmarks deliver timely data enabling asset managers and investors to gain a more complete and accurate understanding of their investments. This empowers them to make informed allocation decisions, set loan terms and pricing and monitor portfolios.

Developed with the long-standing and data-driven private market expertise of both Kroll and StepStone Group, the Benchmarks were built using loan-level data and information from more than 15,000 deals which differs from other fund-level aggregates or modeled estimates. The Benchmarks are updated weekly with new primary market data, providing aggregated, filterable insights on an anonymized basis across regions, sectors, size and loan security, including extensive coverage of U.S. and European markets.
