Key Terms

special purpose vehicles, accredited investors, private securities, concentration risk, +2 more

6 terms

special purpose vehicles financial

"invest directly in special purpose vehicles (SPVs) sponsored by Monark Capital"

Special purpose vehicles are separate companies created to isolate financial risk or manage specific assets and projects. They act like dedicated containers that hold particular investments or loans, helping organizations keep certain activities separate from their main operations. For investors, understanding these entities is important because they can influence how risks and returns are structured within a larger financial system.

accredited investors regulatory

"accredited investors can use the Webull platform to invest directly in SPVs"

Accredited investors are individuals or entities considered to have enough financial knowledge and resources to understand and handle more complex and risky investments. They are often allowed to participate in private investment opportunities that are not available to the general public, similar to how experienced players might access exclusive clubs or events. This status helps ensure that investors can manage potential risks and rewards appropriately.

private securities regulatory

"Investments in private securities are speculative and involve a high degree of risk"

Private securities are ownership stakes or loans issued directly to a limited group of investors instead of being sold on public stock exchanges, so they are not registered for broad public trading. They matter to investors because they can offer access to early-stage or specialized opportunities and potentially higher returns, but come with less public information and lower liquidity—like buying a handcrafted item you can’t easily resell compared with a mass-produced product with a clear resale market.

concentration risk financial

"valuation uncertainty; concentration risk arising from exposure to a single private company"

Concentration risk is the danger that a portfolio, company, or investment relies too heavily on a small number of holdings, customers, suppliers, sectors, or markets, so a single problem can cause a large loss. It matters to investors because it increases the chance of big swings or permanent loss—like putting most of your savings into one stock or one industry instead of spreading it across many different places to reduce fallout from one failure.

illiquidity financial

"Risks include, among others: illiquidity and the absence of any public trading market"

Illiquidity is when an asset cannot be bought or sold quickly at a reasonable price because there are few willing buyers or sellers, like trying to sell a house in a quiet neighborhood. For investors this matters because it can force a sale at a big discount or delay access to cash, increasing risk, making valuations uncertain, and raising the cost of trading or rebalancing a portfolio.

marginable financial

"These interests are illiquid and are not marginable"

An asset labeled "marginable" is one a brokerage allows you to borrow against when buying on margin, meaning you can use part of its value as collateral to increase your buying power. This matters to investors because it can amplify returns by letting you buy more with borrowed money, but it also increases the chance of a forced sale (a margin call) if the asset’s price falls.

In partnership with Monark Markets, eligible accredited investors can access late-stage private companies through the Webull platform

NEW YORK, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Webull (NASDAQ: BULL), an online investment platform, today announced the launch of a new private markets solution to give eligible customers exposure to late-stage private companies. Through a partnership with Monark Markets, accredited investors can use the Webull platform to invest directly in special purpose vehicles (SPVs) sponsored by Monark Capital Management LLC, an affiliated exempt reporting adviser, and supported by Monark Markets' private markets infrastructure.

The launch represents Webull's entry into private markets through a curated SPV framework intended to democratize investment exposure to late-stage private companies that have historically been available primarily to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals.

Webull's new private markets solution is built around investor demand. Eligible accredited investors can use the Webull platform to indicate interest in certain late-stage private companies, which helps inform Monark's sourcing. When sufficient interest is identified, a new opportunity is sourced, and a SPV is established to hold the investment. Investment and funding are handled through the Webull platform. The result is a seamless path from interest to investment, organized around the private companies that investors want exposure to.

"Private markets have become an increasingly important part of how companies create value, yet investment opportunities have remained limited for many investors," said Anthony Denier, Group President and U.S. CEO of Webull. "This launch reflects our continued effort to broaden access for eligible investors by connecting them with private market opportunities in a structured way, directly within the Webull platform."

"Monark is proud to support the launch of Webull's private markets SPV platform," said Ben Haber, CEO of Monark Markets. "Webull is helping advance the convergence of private markets and traditional brokerage by working to expand access for eligible accredited investors to private companies within their brokerage app. Through Monark's private markets infrastructure, Webull users can access private market opportunities through a streamlined experience."

Key features of this new private markets solution include:

• Limited-purpose SPVs: each vehicle is designed to provide direct, focused exposure to one late-stage private company.
• Demand-driven sourcing: investor indications of interest help Monark determine which opportunities are pursued; indications of interest are non-binding and are not a commitment to invest.
• Eligibility: available only to investors who qualify as accredited investors and satisfy applicable eligibility requirements.
• Platform integration: subscription and funding are facilitated through the Webull platform.
• Limited participation: access to each SPV is limited to no more than 99 eligible investors.

The launch is designed to broaden access to a segment of the market where significant company growth can occur prior to public listing, while maintaining the eligibility and offering requirements that apply under applicable securities laws. It reflects Webull's broader strategy to expand its investment offerings beyond traditional public securities for its customers.

SPVs are coming soon to all qualifying users. To access SPVs, users must download the latest version of the Webull app from the App Store.

Important risk information: Investments in private securities are speculative and involve a high degree of risk, including the loss of the entire investment. Risks include, among others: illiquidity and the absence of any public trading market; significant transfer restrictions; limited information and reporting rights; valuation uncertainty; concentration risk arising from exposure to a single private company; potential dilution; and fees and expenses that will reduce returns. These investments are suitable only for eligible investors who can bear the loss of their entire investment. Past performance is not indicative of future results. 

Participation requires an eligible Webull brokerage account. These interests are illiquid and are not marginable.
