Yes, an SPV can invest in your fund. However, it's important to ensure that the SPV and its investors comply with relevant regulations and that the investment aligns with your fund's structure and goals. Consulting with a fund attorney for specific guidance is recommended.
Yes, however it's not a good idea to do so from a business perspective because:
1. Most SPV providers are not setup to do capital calls. As a result the costs involved in setting up an SPV that can manage capital calls is prohibitive.
2. There is no benefit to the GP because every member of the SPV counts towards the 99 investor limit.
3. They can make investor relations more challenging.

Ok. So I should pass on it and explain the issues to the LP who is inquiring about this?

Just respond that because it's a fund 1, you would like to keep things simple and avoid SPVs. It's also much simpler and more cost effective for LPs to invest directly as well.
