"Deferred compensation into a plan is allocated among one or more investment options at the election"

beneficially owned financial

"The shares beneficially owned include the number of shares of Barings Corporate Investors"

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.

entirely notional financial

"The derivative has no actual securities underlying the plan agreement, which is entirely notional."
