Units of Beneficial Interest financial
"The filing reports open-market purchases of Units of Beneficial Interest."
Units of beneficial interest are pieces of ownership in a trust, fund, or pooled investment that give the holder a right to a share of the assets and income without holding the underlying property directly. Think of them as slices of a pie that entitle you to future slices of profit or distributions; investors care because these units determine how returns, risks, voting rights, and tax treatment are allocated and how easily you can buy or sell your stake.
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
"Mr. Oliver disclaims any beneficial ownership except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein."
indirect ownership financial
"The units are reported as indirect ownership by SoftVest, LP."
