An SPV's monarkStage tracks it from creation through fundraising to close. Your platform cares about a few of these stages directly; the rest are Monark and fund administrator operations, surfaced so you can tell an investor what is happening.

The stages

StageMeaning
DRAFTBeing created. Not visible as an offering.
WAITING_MONARK_REVIEWAwaiting Monark's review.
FUND_ADMIN_REVIEWWith the fund administrator for review.
FUND_ADMIN_APPROVEDApproved by the fund administrator. Your deal team can review and approve it from here.
PRIMARY_FUNDRAISEOpen for subscriptions, provided your platform has approved it.
PRE_CLOSE_REVIEWFully funded. Monark is reviewing before requesting cash. No new subscriptions.
CLOSE_REQUESTEDMonark has requested the close with the fund administrator, and will ask your platform to wire.
CLOSE_IN_PROCESSThe close is running. Nothing for your platform to do.
FUNDS_SENT_TO_TARGETCash has gone to the sellside. Nothing for your platform to do.
CLOSEDClosed. Subscriptions on it become Complete.
CLOSE_FAILEDThe close did not complete.
LIQUIDATIONThe vehicle is being wound up.

Note the spelling: CLOSE_IN_PROCESS, not CLOSE_IN_PROGRESS.

What makes an SPV investable

Important: Two independent conditions, and both must hold:

monarkStage === "PRIMARY_FUNDRAISE" && isApproved === true

monarkStage is Monark's readiness. isApproved is your platform's approval for distribution to your investors. A subscription against an SPV missing either is refused with "Failed to create Investor Subscription as the Partner has not approved this SPV".

Your deal or operations team approves an SPV once it reaches FUND_ADMIN_APPROVED or PRIMARY_FUNDRAISE, either in the Alts Desk or through PUT /primary/v2/partner-approval/target/{targetId}/approve.

Where your platform acts

StageYour platform
FUND_ADMIN_APPROVED or PRIMARY_FUNDRAISEReview the diligence documents and approve the SPV for distribution

PRE_CLOSE_REVIEWStop accepting subscriptions. Show the offering as full
CLOSE_REQUESTEDWire the aggregate, including fees, to the SPV account. Wire instructions are in the SPV's document set
CLOSEDSubscriptions become Complete. Show positions

Fundraising ends when either comes first

An SPV stays open until its full allocation — including fees — is met by signed subscriptions, or its fundingDeadline is reached. On being fully funded it moves automatically to PRE_CLOSE_REVIEW.

Two separate limits close an SPV to new money, and they are independent:

  • remainingDollarAllocation reaching zero.
  • numberOfSeatsRemaining reaching zero — the 99-investor cap that US private fund rules impose. An SPV can be seat-closed while dollars remain.
