Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]  
Investments Investments
The Company’s investments consist of equity method investments primarily related to (i) investments in the StepStone Funds for which it serves as general partner or managing member but does not have a controlling financial interest and (ii) investments of Consolidated Funds. The Company’s equity interest in its equity method investments in the StepStone Funds typically does not exceed 1% in each fund. The Company’s share of the underlying net income or loss attributable to its equity interest in the funds is recorded in investment income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss). Investment income attributable to the Consolidated Funds is recorded in investment income of Consolidated Funds. Investment income attributable to investments in certain legacy Greenspring funds for which the Company has no direct economic interests is recorded in legacy Greenspring investment income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).

Legacy Greenspring investment income (loss)(5,247)3,382 
Total equity method income$115,294 $166,818 
The decrease in carried interest allocations for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to lower net unrealized appreciation in the fair value of certain underlying fund investments in the Company’s private equity funds. The decrease in legacy Greenspring carried interest allocations for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to lower net unrealized appreciation in the fair value of certain underlying fund investments in the current year period as compared to the prior year period. See note 2 for a discussion of the Company’s accounting policy for investments on a three-month lag.
As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, the Company’s investment in two and one SMAs, respectively, each individually represented 10% or more of the total accrued carried interest allocations balance, and in the aggregate represented approximately 25% and 12%, respectively, of the total accrued carried interest allocations balance as of those dates. As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, the Company’s investments in each of three commingled funds individually represented 10% or more of the total legacy Greenspring accrued carried interest allocations balance, and in the aggregate represented approximately 60% and 57%, respectively, of the total legacy Greenspring accrued carried interest allocations balances as of those dates.
Of the total accrued carried interest allocations balance as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, $1,145.1 million and $1,100.6 million, respectively, were payable to affiliates and are included in accrued carried interest-related compensation in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Of the total legacy Greenspring investments in funds and accrued carried interest allocations balance as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, $656.0 million and $619.2 million, respectively, were payable to former employees, as well as employees who are considered affiliates of the Company, and are included in legacy Greenspring accrued carried interest-related compensation in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and $127.8 million and $133.6 million, respectively, are reflected as non-controlling interests in legacy Greenspring entities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company evaluates each of its equity method investments to determine if any are considered significant as defined by the SEC. As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, no individual equity method investment held by the Company met the significance criteria. As a result, the Company is not required to provide separate financial statements for any of its equity method investments.
