weighted average price financial
"The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price."
Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.
pecuniary interest financial
"disclaim beneficial ownership of any of the reported securities, except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein."
separately managed account financial
"and a separately managed account (the "Account")."
A separately managed account (SMA) is a personalized investment portfolio owned by a single investor and run by a professional manager who buys and sells securities on that investor’s behalf. It matters to investors because an SMA offers tailored asset selection, tax handling, and transparency—like hiring a personal chef who prepares meals to your dietary needs rather than sharing a set menu—so you can align holdings with your goals and see exactly what you own.
