How asset managers voted at the STEPSTONE GROUP INC. 2023-2024 meetings

Each item below shows how the 180 asset managers that disclosed a STEPSTONE GROUP INC. vote in their SEC Form N-PX filings actually voted. Share totals are the shares those managers' funds voted, summed across every fund they report. These are reported items, not a count of the ballot: fund filings describe one ballot item in different words. Two descriptions are shown as one item only on evidence — the same text (or one cut short of the other), the same director nominee, or a match to the same row of STEPSTONE GROUP INC.’s own Form 8-K tally — never because they merely read alike. A description that could not be joined that way is listed on its own, so one ballot item can appear more than once.

About this page

Every figure above is derived from filings made with the US Securities and Exchange Commission: Form N-PX, in which registered investment companies and institutional managers disclose how they voted every proxy, and Form 8-K Item 5.07, in which the company reports its own meeting results. Shares outstanding are taken from STEPSTONE GROUP INC.’s 10-Q dated 2023-06-30. This page is a static snapshot rebuilt weekly on 04 October 2026; a live search always shows the current data.

At STEPSTONE GROUP INC.'s 2 shareholder meetings in the 2023-2024 proxy season (held 2023-09-13 and 2024-05-13), 180 asset managers reported how they voted in their SEC Form N-PX filings, covering 1,669 separate fund positions. Their filings are grouped here into 7 reported items; because filers word the same ballot item differently, that can be more than the number of items on the ballot. On the most widely held item of the season, voted at the meeting held 2023-09-13 — To approve, on a non-binding and advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive… — the proposal passed with 99.5% support of the votes cast (FOR divided by FOR plus AGAINST, the conventional basis for proxy support; abstentions, broker non-votes and unvoted shares are excluded because none of them took a side). Source: STEPSTONE GROUP INC.'s Form 8-K, Item 5.07, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on 2023-09-14.
