The World’s First Systematic Private Equity Strategy
The Stableton Unicorn Top 20 strategy invests in the 20 most valuable private tech companies, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Databricks. Building on the principle of public market index funds, it follows a systematic strategy—making it the first offering of its kind. In collaboration with Stableton, Morningstar developed the Morningstar® PitchBook® Unicorn Select 20 Index™—a custom index that backtests the historical performance of the Top 20 private unicorns. It demonstrates the strength of a systematic approach to investing in the leading private blue-chip technology companies. The index also serves as the main input for the target allocation of the Stableton Unicorn Top 20 strategy.
Discover the outsized potential of private market growth
The Top 20 private unicorns have consistently outperformed public markets and traditional VC strategies over the last 10 years, driving value creation.
