AVC International Group Trust: Evolution Toward SPAC Innovation

Founded in 1980, AVC International Trust was established as a business management and private venture business trust, designed to consolidate and manage the family’s diverse business ventures under a single operational structure. Over the past 42 years, AVC has consistently followed a self-funded approach, strategically reinvesting family capital to sustain and expand its operations.

By 2006, AVC recognized the potential of partner-based funding in private real estate ventures. This strategy, particularly in foreclosure investments, proved highly successful, leading to the formation of Auction Investment Group Trust, which became a key entity in real estate acquisitions. The economic conditions between 2006 and 2010 further solidified this approach, making external partnerships a standard practice in AVC’s real estate transactions.

By 2019, AVC began exploring the possibility of taking one of its companies public through an IPO. However, the emergence of Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) in 2021 provided an alternative pathway to accessing public markets. Unlike traditional IPOs, SPACs are publicly traded investment vehicles designed to acquire or merge with private companies, offering a streamlined and efficient route to going public.

With AVC’s conservative and research-driven philosophy, the SPAC model was carefully analyzed over the next two years to ensure alignment with AVC’s long-term business strategy. By 2023, a structured plan was developed to launch three SPACs, leveraging AVC’s extensive experience in business management, private equity, and real estate. The execution of this plan commenced in 2024, marking a new chapter in AVC International Trust’s evolution—bridging decades of private investment expertise with the opportunities of the public markets.
