What are Spanish Compliant Bonds

Question

I'm investigating about the 'Spanish Compliant Bonds', an investment product that is tax-friendly for Spanish tax residents.

The most detailed report I have found about them is here. Still, I don't understand at all what are these bonds.

First, are these bonds actually bonds? Can they be mutual funds? One of the rules in the above document says: Funds must be invested in a tax compliant life insurance bond. What is a tax compliant insurance bond?

My understanding is that 'Spanish Compliant Bonds' are any fund that accomplish certain rules (listed in the above document), Is this correct? e.g. Investment funds available for selection have to be EU UCITS.

EDIT

I have found this: https://www.quilterinternational.com/siteassets/documents/Brochure/7351_Simply_Spanish_SCIB.pdf/

This document still doesn't clarify my above questions, but I have read that this kind of investment is only for foreigners. It seems it's not suitable for Spanish nationals. How is this?

"Spanish Compliant Bonds" aren't a thing. They're just selling you bonds promising you won't have tax issues surprises. When that document notes about modelo 720, that's the key information for you.

That can not be true and that's why the text indeed actually very much implies how nothing impedes that a Spanish national can buy that.
