Hello everyone,
I'm curious to know why SPAC's have become extremely popular in recent months. To my understanding, a sponsor creates a SPV to acquire/merge with a company in a few months. Given the current market volatility, valuations for a lot of businesses must be lower, so I'm curious to know why sponsors are raising money now to buy in the future instead of executing now?
Would appreciate any help, thanks!

Conclusion: think of it as a way for PE funds to pursue an exit and realize a “win” for their LPs
