What Is an SPV?

A Special Purpose Vehicle is one of the most common ways individual investors gain access to private companies.

An SPV is a legal entity created for the sole purpose of making a specific investment. Instead of each investor purchasing shares directly, capital is pooled into the SPV, which then acquires shares in the target company.

This structure allows multiple investors to participate in opportunities that might otherwise require significantly larger individual commitments. It also centralizes administration, making the investment process more efficient.

SPVs are widely used across private markets because they provide a streamlined way to aggregate capital and execute transactions.
