Asia’s best investment manager – private credit 2026: StepStone Group

StepStone Group stands out in Asia this year for delivering a vehicle purpose-built for private bank and sophisticated family offices clients that translates the firm’s scale and expertise into market leading, risk adjusted, fee-efficient client outcomes.

The vehicle, StepStone Private Credit Fund (SCRED) – StepStone’s evergreen private credit fund – accesses first lien, floating rate, senior secured loans through a co-investment model with more than 100 leading direct lending partners that include Ares, Apollo, KKR, Carlyle, and Blue Owl.

This structure broadens deal coverage to a far larger share of the market, enhances selectivity and avoids channel conflicts that can arise when managers compete for the same assets they distribute.
