Is your cap table investor-ready?
Investors don’t need your cap table to be complicated. They need to understand it quickly. Before a funding round, that means more than having a spreadsheet with the latest share numbers. Your ownership structure should be clear, the supporting documents should match, and anything that could change future ownership should be easy to identify. If […]
3 ways family offices use SPVs and when each one works best
Family offices don’t use SPVs for every investment in the same way. The right structure depends on what you’re investing in, who’s participating, and whether you’re organising one deal or building a repeatable strategy. A single co-investment may call for a dedicated vehicle. A private credit strategy has different cash flow and distribution requirements. And […]

The $900M Robot is a sign of what’s coming
XPENG’s record robotics round points to a bigger shift: AI’s next chapter is moving into the physical world, and the capital requirements are getting bigger.

The next chapter increasingly […]
How do family offices actually use SPVs in practice?
The way a family office uses a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) often changes as its investment activity becomes more repeatable. A single co-investment may need its own vehicle, investor group and terms. But when the same investors start backing several private-market opportunities, rebuilding that process for every deal becomes less practical. That’s where a Multi-Asset […]
Can you invest in an SPV using USDC or USDT?
Stablecoin balances are becoming a more common part of how cross-border investors hold capital, not just how they trade it. More angels and syndicate leads now sit on real USDC or USDT positions between deals, and a specific question keeps coming up: can that balance go straight into a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) allocation, or does […]
Debt investment in the USA: what cross-border investors need to know
US private debt gives investors access to a wide range of lending opportunities, from venture debt and private credit to structured loans. For a Singapore-domiciled investor, the opportunity isn’t just about the yield.

SPV administration platforms for family offices in Singapore: 2026 comparison
Family offices are running more deals across more borders. For a Singapore family office or syndicate lead running several deals a year, SPV administration gets harder once investors and transactions span multiple jurisdictions.

Fastest bank account opening within 48 hours for SPVs
For a syndicate lead, the bank account can become an unexpected bottleneck between choosing an investment and being ready to take subscriptions. In some SPV workflows, an account can be ready within 48 hours, with the right setup allowing certain transactions to move even faster. But that isn’t a universal timeline. Banking review, the structure […]
