September 19, 2025
Kroll, a global financial and risk advisory solutions provider, and StepStone Group announced the launch of the Kroll StepStone Private Credit Benchmarks. These benchmarks are designed to provide a new industry standard for more robust valuation and intelligence in the private credit asset class. The private credit benchmarks are built using loan-level data and information from over 15,000 deals, distinguishing them from fund-level aggregates or modeled estimates. This approach delivers more timely, reliable, and actionable insights on an anonymized basis, which are essential for the accelerated growth of private investment markets. Marcel Schindler, Partner and CEO of StepStone Private Debt, stated that the collaboration combines Kroll’s robust dataset with complementary data from StepStone’s SPI by StepStone platform. This creates a powerful intelligence toolkit that enables improved decision-making for investors and market participants across the private credit ecosystem. The benchmarks are updated weekly with new primary market data, offering aggregated, anonymized, and filterable insights across regions, sectors, size, and loan security. This extensive coverage, particularly across U.S. and European markets, facilitates targeted capital allocation and portfolio monitoring.
