Overview
Investors should tread carefully with SPACs (special purpose acquisition companies), as costs and dilution post-merger may be larger than those borne via traditional IPOs.

They are also referred to as “blank check companies” and are like a mystery box—investors won’t know what it eventually holds until it finds a suitable target company.
