Special Purpose Vehicle, abbreviated as SPV. In the securities industry, SPV refers to special purpose vehicles, also known as special purpose institutions/companies, whose function is to purchase, package securitized assets and issue asset-backed securities based on them in the process of offshore asset securitization, in order to raise funds from foreign investors. It refers to a special entity that accepts the asset portfolio of the initiator and issues securities backed by it.
The business scope of SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) is strictly limited, so it is a high credit rating entity that generally does not go bankrupt. SPV holds a special position in asset securitization, as it is the core of the entire asset securitization process, and all participants will work around it. SPV has two main forms of expression: Special Purpose Company (SPC) and Special Purpose Trust (SPT). Generally speaking, SPVs do not have a requirement for registered capital and generally do not have fixed employees or office space. All functions of SPVs are pre arranged to be dispatched to other professional institutions. SPV must ensure independence and bankruptcy isolation. When an SPV is established, it is usually owned by charitable or unrelated organizations, so that the SPV operates in accordance with established legal provisions and does not generate conflicts of interest and favor one party. The assets and liabilities of SPV are basically equal, and its surplus value is basically negligible. SPV can be a legal entity. SPV can be a shell company. SPV can also be an intermediary with national credit.
