"Amount beneficially owned: 1,272,596 (b) | Percent of class: 10.2%"
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
sole dispositive powerregulatory
"(iii) Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 1,272,596"
Sole dispositive power is the exclusive legal authority to decide what happens to a security — for example, whether to sell, transfer, or retain shares — without needing anyone else’s permission. Investors care because it signals who truly controls the economic outcome of an investment: like holding the only key to a safe, the holder can realize gains or losses and may trigger regulatory reporting, insider rules, or influence over corporate ownership.

managed accountsfinancial
"managed accounts that are investment management clients of Fred Alger Management, LLC"
Managed accounts are collections of investments owned by an individual or institution but run day-to-day by a professional who buys, sells and allocates assets according to an agreed plan. They matter to investors because they provide tailored oversight, active risk control and potential tax efficiency—like hiring a personal chef to manage your diet—while fees and the manager’s skill directly affect returns.
