# Vip V S C Sp
VIP V S.C.Sp. is a [Luxembourg](https://www.edgepedia.org/luxembourg) special limited partnership (S.C.Sp.) private equity fund vehicle, paired with a feeder vehicle, VIP V Feeder S.C.Sp., that filed a notice of exempt offering of securities with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on 28 September 2022.[1](https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?CIK=0001947905) • [2](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1947905/000194790522000001/0001947905-22-000001-index.htm) The two vehicles are funds, not a fund manager: according to a SEC-derived aggregator, the fund of record is managed by Vitruvian Partners LLP, but this attribution is not confirmed by a primary or independent source in the public record examined here.[3](https://aum13f.com/fund/vip-v-scsp)

## Structure: main fund and Luxembourg feeder
The SCSp form was introduced by Luxembourg's AIFM Law amendments and, unlike the older simple limited partnership (SCS),[7](https://elvingerhoss.lu/sites/default/files/documents/legal_topics/corporate/EHP_Societe_en_commandite.pdf) has no legal personality; it is governed almost entirely by its limited partnership agreement, with very few mandatory statutory provisions.[4](https://www.alfi.lu/getattachment/05860329-7ef0-4e27-8c01-32689b5fb730/app_data-import-alfi-alfi-luxembourg-private-equity-and-venture-capital-brochure.pdf) Introduced in 2013 as Luxembourg's analog to the Anglo-Saxon limited partnership, it operates without direct regulatory supervision of the vehicle itself and gives sponsors wide contractual freedom.[5](https://www.harneys.com/our-blogs/regulatory/regulated-or-not-that-is-the-question-focus-on-the-luxembourg-special-limited-partnership-scsp/) A Luxembourg private equity partnership of this kind must have at least one general partner, who bears unlimited liability and is typically organized as a private limited company (S.à r.l.) or public limited company (SA) to cap exposure, and at least one limited partner, who is barred from acts of management vis-à-vis third parties.[4](https://www.alfi.lu/getattachment/05860329-7ef0-4e27-8c01-32689b5fb730/app_data-import-alfi-alfi-luxembourg-private-equity-and-venture-capital-brochure.pdf) The aggregator record names Vitruvian Luxcar GP S.à r.l. as the director of record, consistent with that pattern.[3](https://aum13f.com/fund/vip-v-scsp)
The feeder structure serves cross-border fundraising. Under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD), an appointed alternative investment fund manager brings a passport to market to professional investors across the EU, whereas an American fund in Europe is otherwise limited to national private placement regimes. Global managers therefore often run both platforms, a Delaware or Cayman vehicle for US capital, and a Luxembourg SCSp in parallel or as a feeder for European capital; in the fund, limited partners contribute capital under the limited partnership agreement, the general partner manages the partnership, and the manager acts as the AIFM under AIFMD.[6](https://wiki.private.law/en/scsp-luxembourg) On the US side, both VIP V vehicles rely on Investment Company Act Section 3(c)(7), meaning the offering is restricted to qualified purchasers rather than open to the general public.[2](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1947905/000194790522000001/0001947905-22-000001-index.htm)
If an SCSp qualifies as an alternative investment fund, its manager must be authorized by Luxembourg's regulator, the CSSF, or register under a partial exemption with de minimis thresholds of EUR 100 million (with leverage) or EUR 500 million (without);[5](https://www.harneys.com/our-blogs/regulatory/regulated-or-not-that-is-the-question-focus-on-the-luxembourg-special-limited-partnership-scsp/) the SCSp can also be wrapped in regimes such as SIF, RAIF, SICAR, Part II UCI, EuVECA, or ELTIF, and Luxembourg vehicles of this kind are commonly used in master-feeder structures by non-European sponsors.[4](https://www.alfi.lu/getattachment/05860329-7ef0-4e27-8c01-32689b5fb730/app_data-import-alfi-alfi-luxembourg-private-equity-and-venture-capital-brochure.pdf)
## By the numbers
Across the two September 2022 Form D filings, VIP V S.C.Sp. reported USD 5,633,794,785 sold and VIP V Feeder S.C.Sp. reported USD 3,075,319,485 sold, a combined USD 8,709,114,270.[1](https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?CIK=0001947905) The feeder's initial Form D was filed and became effective on 28 September 2022, accepted at 12:52:33 that day, under the [Securities Act of 1933](https://www.edgepedia.org/securities-act-of-1933) with file number 021-460103.[2](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1947905/000194790522000001/0001947905-22-000001-index.htm) The aggregator records a sale of USD 5,633.8 million for the main fund as of 7 October 2022, consistent with the filing figure.[3](https://aum13f.com/fund/vip-v-scsp)
## Recent developments
The offering remained open after the initial raise: the feeder filed an amendment on 28 September 2023 reporting an indefinite remaining offering amount and, per the aggregator record, 168 investors in the fund at that point.[1](https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?CIK=0001947905) • [3](https://aum13f.com/fund/vip-v-scsp) The aggregator also lists named directors spanning 2011–2026 (Christopher Bulger, Gaetan Dumont, and Fanny Him) and service providers including custodians [DBS Bank](https://www.edgepedia.org/dbs-bank), Caceis, Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets, Barclays Bank Ireland Luxembourg, Sumitomo Mitsui, JP Morgan SE, and HSBC, with PricewaterhouseCoopers as auditor; these details come only from a weak aggregator and are unverified.[3](https://aum13f.com/fund/vip-v-scsp)
