Special Purpose Vehicles

Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) help securitise assets, create joint ventures, isolate corporate assets, or perform other financial transactions. They may be designed for independent ownership, management and funding purposes. ​

At Vistra, we have extensive experience of establishing and administering SPVs in a wide range of sectors – helping real estate clients hold assets and private equity clients structure their investments. We also support offerings in wider capital markets, including those related to asset-backed securities. ​

Beyond the initial establishment of SPVs, we can deliver a suite of related services to administer them – forming legal entities, opening bank accounts, and providing company secretarial, directorship and fiduciary services, and book-keeping and financial statements.

Our latest Vistra 2030 report reveals globalisation is not dead but evolving. Against a backdrop of increased geopolitical tensions, trade wars, inflationary pressures and other disruptions, we’re seeing a shift away from a standardised, one-size-fits-all globalisation to a model that’s more complex and regionalised.
Businesses and investors everywhere are facing significant economic and geopolitical headwinds. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has helped fuel inflation and interest rate rises and led to soaring energy costs. Meanwhile, wide-sweeping digital transformation, trade wars, remote and hybrid working, and other emerging trends are accelerating change across the global economy. On top of these disruptions, the era of cheap borrowing is over and businesses and investors must find new ways to fund growth.
Multinational businesses, investment firms, family offices and other organisations have been subject to an increasing number of country-specific regulations in recent years. We’ve seen new and updated rules related to anti-money laundering, economic substance, ESG and more.
ESG has become a critical component of the new global economy as consumers and investors across industries demand that businesses meet new and emerging reporting criteria.
Following the most turbulent period in recent memory, Vistra surveyed over 600 professionals and conducted 20 in-depth interviews to better understand the challenges today’s global businesses and investors face. The result is the tenth Vistra 2030 report. Simon Filmer, who heads Vistra’s company formation sector, calls the latest report “our most comprehensive look yet at how and why businesses, investment firms, regulators and the industry itself are adjusting to a new kind of globalisation.”
