"disclaims any beneficial interest in these shares"

Beneficial interest is the right to receive the economic benefits of an asset—such as dividends, interest, or sale proceeds—without necessarily holding legal title to it. For investors this matters because it determines who actually gains from an investment or trust, much like renting an apartment where the tenant enjoys living there and paying bills while the landlord holds the deed; understanding who has the beneficial interest affects income rights, voting influence, and risk exposure.
