Key Terms

pecuniary interest, beneficially own, controlling stockholder, pension plans

4 terms

pecuniary interest financial

"beneficially own, but only to the extent he has a pecuniary interest"

beneficially own financial

"may be deemed presently to both beneficially own and have a pecuniary interest"

Beneficially own means having the economic rights and risks of a security—such as the right to receive dividends, sell the shares, or profit from price changes—whether or not your name appears on the official share register. Think of it like renting a car: you use it and reap the benefits even if the title lists someone else. Investors care because beneficial ownership determines who truly controls value, must be disclosed under securities rules, and can signal potential influence or trading activity that affects a stock’s price.

controlling stockholder financial

"Warren E. Buffett, as the controlling stockholder of Berkshire"

A controlling stockholder is an individual or group that owns enough voting power in a company to shape major decisions—such as who sits on the board, whether to merge, or what strategy to pursue. Think of them as holding a majority of seats on a town council: their preferences often determine outcomes. Investors care because a controlling stockholder can push actions that benefit their interests, affect minority shareholders’ returns, and change the company’s risk and valuation.

pension plans financial

"owned by the following pension plans of Berkshire's subsidiaries"

Pension plans are arrangements where employers, governments or individuals set aside money during working years to provide a steady income in retirement, like a long-term savings pool that pays out monthly benefits later. They matter to investors because pension funds are major, long-term holders of stocks and bonds and their funding health can create large future liabilities or cash needs that affect a company’s finances, creditworthiness and stock value.
