New Investment Funds From StepStone Now Available on Crowd Street, Further Increasing Self-Directed Access to Private Markets

These three funds stem from Crowd Street’s agreement with StepStone to provide Crowd Street members with private market investing opportunities to a broader range of asset classes

Crowd Street, a private market investment platform helping members pursue their financial objectives by providing direct access to investment opportunities, announced that three new funds from StepStone are available on its self-directed private market investment platform: StepStone Private Markets (SPRIM), StepStone Private Venture and Growth Fund (SPRING), and StepStone Private Credit Income Fund (CRDEX).

These new funds have become available through Crowd Street’s strategic collaboration with StepStone to provide new private market fund opportunities to Crowd Street members across several asset classes including private credit, private equity, secondaries, venture capital, real assets and more. With these funds now officially available, Crowd Street is providing members with more choice, flexibility, and diversification of investment opportunities, and additional control over their investment decisions.

“Increasing access, opportunity, and educational resources to the private markets has been Crowd Street’s vision for years. As investors come to expect transparency and control over their financial futures, more choice across a variety of asset classes is paramount,” said John Imbriglia, CEO of Crowd Street. “StepStone – backed by several decades of industry knowledge and experience – shares that same vision, and we’re proud to officially bring their funds across several new asset classes to Crowd Street members.”

As access to the private market industry expands, Crowd Street remains equally committed to educating investors so they can explore with confidence. Recently, Crowd Street introduced a new Education Center to help investors better navigate the private markets, a collaboration with Equity Trust to expand access to self-directed private market investing within retirement accounts, major platform enhancements, and a financial literacy initiative. Crowd Street also has a relationship with Callan to support Crowd Street with diligence on select funds and investor education tools.
