Stock Option (Right to Buy) financial

"security_title: Stock Option (Right to Buy)"

beneficial ownership financial

"disclaims beneficial ownership of any of the reported securities"

Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.

separately managed account financial

"and a separately managed account (the "Account")"

A separately managed account (SMA) is a personalized investment portfolio owned by a single investor and run by a professional manager who buys and sells securities on that investor’s behalf. It matters to investors because an SMA offers tailored asset selection, tax handling, and transparency—like hiring a personal chef who prepares meals to your dietary needs rather than sharing a set menu—so you can align holdings with your goals and see exactly what you own.

pecuniary interest financial

"except to the extent of its or his respective pecuniary interest"

advisory fees financial

"which will offset advisory fees owed by the Fund"

Advisory fees are payments made to financial advisors or investment managers for guidance, portfolio management, or other services, typically charged as a fixed amount or a percentage of assets under management. They matter because they lower an investor’s net returns—like paying a mechanic to tune a car, you expect better performance, so investors weigh whether the cost is justified by higher returns, better risk control, or convenience.
