SPV

Definitions

1. Short for special purpose vehicle, a separate entity used to hold an investment or structure a transaction. SPVs are common in venture syndicates and secondary transactions because they simplify administration and ownership presentation.

   In plain English: A shorthand for a separate legal entity created for a specific investment or deal.

   Example: "The syndicate invested through an SPV rather than adding dozens of names directly to the round."
