When taking security over a portfolio of investments in a NAV facility, it may be difficult or costly to take security over the borrower’s investments. A common solution is to implement what we refer to as the SPV pledge. Instead of getting a pledge of the investments directly, the SPV pledge entails a pledge from a fund (the “Fund”) of its ownership interest in a wholly-owned special purpose vehicle (an “SPV”) that in turn owns the investments themselves. The SPV pledge will also typically entail the SPV pledging its bank accounts to the lenders to which the distributions and sale proceeds in respect of the portfolio investments are required to be paid.
This article provides an overview of the SPV pledge and highlights some of the advantages and considerations that lenders should be aware of for its effective implementation.
