LONDON, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- StepStone Group (Nasdaq: STEP), a leading global private markets investment firm, today announced it has joined LSEG's Digital Markets Infrastructure (DMI) platform.
Fully integrated within LSEG Workspace, the DMI platform streamlines professional investor access to private funds and utilises distributed ledger technology to support private fund distribution, helping to reduce structural barriers to private markets access for investors.
StepStone is among the first private markets managers launching on the DMI platform, with StepStone's evergreen strategies across private equity, private debt and infrastructure available.
This collaboration builds on StepStone's existing relationship with LSEG. In October 2025, the two launched the FTSE StepStone Global Private Market Indices, which offer daily, private market benchmarks.
Together, these initiatives exemplify StepStone's commitment to improving access, transparency, benchmarking and integration of private markets within diversified portfolios.
David Jeffrey, Head of Europe at StepStone, said: "The continued evolution of private markets requires infrastructure and data integrity consistent with institutional investing. LSEG's DMI platform represents an important step in that development. By launching our evergreen strategies on the platform, we are supporting more efficient access to private markets through established market infrastructure. We believe innovation in distribution and access will be vital to the long-term success of private markets in the UK Wealth market."
Dr Darko Hajdukovic, Head of Digital Markets Infrastructure, LSEG, said: "StepStone's decision to bring its evergreen strategies onto our DMI platform marks another important milestone in opening up access to private markets. DMI now enhances access for professional investors in the wealth segment and delivers blockchain-powered scale and efficiency, enabling fund managers to distribute their products more effectively and support the evolving needs of clients. We're delighted to deepen our relationship with StepStone as we continue to drive innovation and broaden participation in private markets."
