There Are Many Benefits To Using A Master Series LLC To Create One Or Multiple Multi-Asset SPVs, Or Using A LP Fund Entity, To Invest Into Multiple Opportunities
- Invest In One Or Multiple Opportunties: A Master Series LLC can have one or multiple multi-asset SPVs and one or multiple single-asset SPVs underneath it. Think of the Master Series LLC as your parent fund entity, under which you can have multiple multi-asset SPVs (e.g. Fund I, Fund II, Fund III, etc.) as well as multiple single-asset SPVs (e.g. investments into specific startups, real estate opportunities, or target funds). A LP Fund entity similarly provides a fund structure to invest into one or multiple opportunities.
- Offer Your Investors Diversification: A multi-asset SPV and a LP fund entity both provide a fund manager's investors the benefit of diversification (vs. Single-Asset SPVs) and the investors don't have to select which investments to make (vs. having discretion of choice with single-Asset SPVs) as the fund manager selects which opportunities to include in the portfolio and how much to invest in each opportunity. Investors in a multi-asset SPV or a LP fund entity have a percent ownership of the multi-asset SPV or LP fund entity. Example: $1M (Individual investor's investment) of a $100M fund (total capital committed to a multi-asset SPV or LP fund entity by all investors) = the individual investor would own 1% of the $100M multi-asset SPV or LP Fund entity.
- Custom Fund Terms per Multi-Asset SPV or LP Fund Entity: Tailor the management fee and carried interest for the fund strategy you are implimenting.
- Custom Naming Of Fund Entities: Customize your Master Series LLC fund name (e.g. "Your Parent Fund Name LLC") or use Finally's Master Series LLC called "Master Fund I LLC", where each single-asset SPV investment would be named "Opportunity Name, a Series of Your Parent Fund Name LLC" and each multi-asset SPV investment would be named "Fund I, II, or III Name, a Series of Your Parent Fund Name LLC". If you create a LP Fund entity, your fund name would be, "Name Fund I, II, or III LP".
- Save Money: The Master Series LLC / Multi-Asset SPV Fund model and LP Fund model is a structure that provides cost savings for fund managers because you don't need to create a seperate LLC for each investment which would have annual legal maintenance fees per LLC.
- Fund Doc Templates : Finally provides fund managers with the fund doc templates for the Master Series LLC, Multi-Asset SPVs, and LP Fund entities, which can then be further customized.

Calculator: Multi-Asset SPVs & LP Funds
Use the calculator below to get a pricing estimate for creating and managing a Master Series LLC and creating one or multiple Multi-Asset SPVs; or creating a LP Fund Entity. Note: The final invoice will be based on the final amount of capital closed, the number of investors, and the number of assets per Multi-Asset SPV or LP Fund entity.
Funds: Most traditional funds have 3-4 legal entities, including:
- A Fund entity to invest in one or multiple portfolio companies / funds / assets, often structured as an Limited Partnership (LP) or an LLC.
- A GP entity to contribute a GP commitment to the Fund entity and to receive the carried interest, often structured as an LLC.
- A Management Co. entity to receive the management fee to pay for the funds operating expenses (salaries, rent, travel, fund admin, etc.), often structured as an LLC.
- An Advisory entity (Optional) for receiving compensation for working with portfolio companies and other companies, often structured as an LLC.
Multi-Asset SPVs: You can also create a fund structure using a multi-asset SPV under a Master LLC using a custom named Master LLC or using Finally's Master Fund LLC called "Master Fund I LLC". You don't technically need a GP entity and Management Co. entity with a multi-asset SPV structure, which saves on legal entity costs, though they do come in handy for organizing the payment and distribution of cash flows from management fees and carried interest. You can use legal entities you've created in the past as the GP entity and/or Management entity or create a new GP entity and/or a new Management Co. entity.
Multi-Assets Entities (Either traditional Funds or Multi-Asset SPVs): You would use this structure if your investors are going to be equally invested across all portfolio assets based on their percent of committed capital in the fund. Typically capital calls with happen 1-2 times a year over the fund's investment period (the time to build the portfolio, ~2-5 years) and may have 0%-66% in reserve capital for making follow-on investments where you invest additional capital into select portfolio companies. A fund is usually raised within 3-18 months, with one or multiple closings, and investors in the fund have a pro-rata share of the funds profits and losses, such that an LP with $10M in capital of a $100M fund has 10% of value of each asset within the portfolio.
A traditional fund model and a multi-asset SPV structure also benefits from cost savings of having multiple investments within the fund entity or multi-asset SPV entity, rather than having a seperate LLC for each investment, which would have a annual legal maintenance fee per LLC.
The final structure of your fund, including the details of the management fee and the carried interest, can be customized within your fund documents. A multi-asset fund or SPV can be used for a venture capital fund investing in a portfolio of early stage companies, a private equity fund investing in a portfolio of real estate properties, growth equity companies, and pre-IPO companies, as well as for investing as a Fund-of-Funds investing in a portfolio of funds.
