StepStone Group Inc. trades at $44.71. We do not hold enough of the inputs to value this company with the confidence the estimate implies, so we publish no fair value for it rather than a number we would not defend.

Our moat model scores it 17 out of 100, which is little in the way of a moat. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.

A word of warning on reading these figures: a 13F reports the market value of a holding, so a fund that traded nothing at all still appears to have sold when the price fell. We found 102 companies where the standard reading gives the opposite answer. Only the share count is honest.
