RI TRANSPARENCY REPOR T 2020 StepStone Group LP An investor initiative in partnership with UNEP Finance Initiative and UN Global Compact About this report The PRI Reporting Framework is a key step in the journey towards building a common language and industry standard for reporting responsible investment (RI) activities. This RI Transparency Report is one of the key outputs of this Framework. Its primary objective is to enable signatory transparency on RI activities and facilitate dialogue between investors and their clients, beneficiaries and other stakeholders. A copy of this report will be publicly disclosed for all reporting signatories on the PRI website, ensuring accountability of the PRI Initiative and its signatories. This report is an export of the individual Signatory organisation’s response to the PRI during the 2020 reporting cycle. It includes their responses to mandatory indicators, as well as responses to voluntary indicators the signatory has agreed to make public. The information is presented exactly as it was reported. Where an indicator offers a response option that is multiple-choice, all options that were available to the signatory to select are presented in this report. Presenting the information exactly as reported is a result of signatory feedback which suggested the PRI not summarise the information. As a result, the reports can be extensive. However, to help easily locate information, there is a Principles index which highlights where the information can be found and summarises the indicators that signatories complete and disclose. Understanding the Principles Index The Principles Index summarises the response status for the individual indicators and modules and shows how these relate to the six Principles for Responsible Investment. It can be used by stakeholders as an ‘at-a-glance’ summary of reported information and to identify particular themes or areas of interest. Indicators can refer to one or more Principles. Some indicators are not specific to any Principle. These are highlighted in the ‘General’ column. When multiple Principles are covered across numerous indicators, in order to avoid repetition, only the main Principle covered is highlighted. All indicators within a module are presented below. The status of indicators is shown with the following symbols: Symbol Status The signatory has completed all mandatory parts of this indicator The signatory has completed some parts of this indicator This indicator was not relevant for this signatory - The signatory did not complete any part of this indicator The signatory has flagged this indicator for internal review Within the table, indicators marked in blue are mandatory to complete. Indicators marked in grey are voluntary to complete. 1 Principles Index 2 Organisational Overview Principle General Indicator Short description Status Disclosure 1 2 3 4 5 6 OO TG n/a OO 01 Signatory category and services Public OO 02 Headquarters and operational countries Public Subsidiaries that are separate PRI OO 03 Public signatories OO 04 Reporting year and AUM Public Asset mix OO 05 Breakdown of AUM by asset class disclosed in OO 06 How would you like to disclose your asset OO 06 Public class mix OO 07 Fixed income AUM breakdown n/a OO 08 Segregated mandates or pooled funds Private OO 09 Breakdown of AUM by market Public Active ownership practices for listed OO 10 n/a assets OO 11 ESG incorporation practices for all assets Public Modules and sections required to OO 12 Public complete Breakdown of listed equity investments OO LE 01 n/a by passive and active strategies Reporting on strategies that are <10% of OO LE 02 n/a actively managed listed equities Breakdown of fixed income investments OO FI 01 n/a by passive and active strategies Reporting on strategies that are <10% of OO FI 02 n/a actively managed fixed income Fixed income breakdown by market and OO FI 03 n/a credit quality Breakdown of externally managed OO SAM investments by passive and active n/a 01 strategies Breakdown of private equity investments OO PE 01 Public by strategy Typical level of ownership in private OO PE 02 Private equity investments OO PR Breakdown of property investments Private 01 OO PR Breakdown of property assets by Private 02 management OO PR Largest property types Private 03 OO INF Breakdown of infrastructure investments Private 01 OO INF Breakdown of infrastructure assets by Private 02 management OO INF Largest infrastructure sectors Private 03 Breakdown of hedge funds investments OO HF 01 n/a by strategies OO End Module confirmation page -
