SPV management, without the spreadsheet sprawl
Single-asset and multi-asset SPVs with carry computation, waterfall modelling, investor portal and full audit trail.
Special purpose vehicles get spun up quickly and accumulate quietly. Most fund teams end up with dozens of SPVs each running on separate spreadsheets, with carry calculations, capital calls and distributions reconciled by hand. Reuben AI gives you one operating layer for every SPV in the firm: structured deal terms, automated waterfall computation, investor portal access and full audit trail through liquidity event.
Why this vehicle needs purpose-built infrastructure
SPVs proliferate faster than process. A growing firm spins up SPVs deal by deal. Within two years there are 30 of them, each on its own spreadsheet, with no consistent way to compute carry or report to investors.
Carry math is unforgiving. Hurdle rates, catch-ups, GP commitments and side letters all interact. A single error compounds across every distribution and is painful to unwind years later.
Investor reporting expectations are rising. SPV investors increasingly expect portal access, position-level transparency and timely K-1 or equivalent tax reporting, not an annual PDF.
Audit and tax need clean records. When tax season or an audit hits, the firm with one consolidated SPV ledger answers in hours. The firm with thirty spreadsheets answers in weeks.
How Reuben AI handles it
Structured SPV setup
Encode the SPV structure once, including hurdle, catch-up, GP commit, management fee, transaction fee and any side letters. Every subsequent calculation runs against the structured terms with no spreadsheet drift.
Automated waterfall and carry
Distributions flow through the encoded waterfall automatically. Each investor's share is computed against their commitment, paid-in capital and side letter terms with full provenance back to the source transaction.
Investor portal access
Each SPV investor gets portal access to their position, capital account, distribution history and tax documents. No more emailing PDFs and reconciling questions over Slack.
Capital calls and distributions
Capital calls and distribution notices generated from the platform with automated investor allocations, payment instructions and audit trail. Side letter terms applied automatically.
Full audit and tax trail
Every transaction, every allocation and every investor communication preserved with timestamps. Audit and tax preparation become a query, not a reconstruction project.

Common questions
Can Reuben AI handle multi-asset SPVs?
Yes. Multi-asset SPVs are supported with per-asset tracking, blended waterfall computation and consolidated investor reporting across the underlying portfolio.
How are side letters handled?
Side letter terms are encoded against the relevant investors and applied automatically in waterfall computation, capital calls and distributions, with audit trail showing where each variance was applied.
Does it support GP-led continuation vehicles?
Yes. Continuation funds and GP-led secondaries are first-class structures with dedicated tracking. See the continuation funds page for detail.
What about tax reporting?
Capital account history, allocations and distributions are exportable in formats that support K-1 and equivalent tax preparation by your fund administrator.
