SPV, it's an acronym for special purpose vehicle. The kind of description there is it's a legal structure that is required if you're going to aggregate other people's money together in order to invest into a private asset. You know, you can go direct, which is pull money out of your own pocket and go direct to the CEO or the real estate project or oil and gas, whatever it is. But if you said, hey, me with two other family offices, some other people, we want to pool our money together and then send one check Maybe you're hitting a minimum. Maybe you want to take some carry. Lots of reasons to do it. If you're going to pull that money into one vehicle, that's an SPV. And when you do that, you need documents, entity, tax returns, security filings, all that stuff. That's my world. So you find the deal, you find the people, you call me, I take care of the rest.
