Schedule 13Gregulatory
"Item 1. (a) Name of issuer: APELLIS PHARMACEUTICALS INC"
A Schedule 13G is a formal document that investors file with the government when they acquire a large ownership stake in a company, usually for investment purposes rather than control. It helps keep the public informed about who owns significant parts of a company's shares, which can influence how the company is managed and how investors make decisions. Filing this schedule is important for transparency and understanding the ownership landscape of publicly traded companies.
Shared dispositive powerregulatory
"Item 4. (c)(iv) Shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 6,845,031"
Investment Adviser (IA)financial
"SSGA FUNDS MANAGEMENT, INC. (IA); STATE STREET GLOBAL ADVISORS LIMITED (IA)"
An investment adviser (IA) is a person or firm that provides personalized guidance on buying, selling, or holding investments and often manages client portfolios for a fee. Investors should care because an IA has a legal duty to act in the client's best interest—think of them as a navigator who plans and steers your financial journey—so their advice, fee structure and potential conflicts can directly affect returns and financial risk.
Sole voting powerregulatory
"Item 4. (c)(i) Sole power to vote or to direct the vote: 0"
Sole voting power is the exclusive right to cast votes attached to a shareholder’s stock without needing approval from anyone else. Like holding the only remote control for a TV, it lets that holder decide corporate matters such as board members, mergers, and policy changes, making it important to investors because it concentrates control and can strongly influence a company’s strategy and the value of its shares.
