"Item 4. | Ownership (a) | Amount beneficially owned: 1,842,319"
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.
Rule 13d-1(k)(1) regulatory
"This filing is jointly filed by The Charger Corporation, First Trust Portfolios L.P. ... pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1)."
unit investment trusts financial
"First Trust Portfolios L.P. acts as sponsor of certain unit investment trusts which hold shares of the issuer."
A unit investment trust (UIT) is a pooled investment that sells investors fixed “units” representing a pre-selected, unchanging bundle of stocks, bonds or other securities held for a set period. Think of it like buying a pre-packed grocery basket that won’t be rearranged — you know exactly what you own and roughly when it will end. UITs matter to investors because they offer predictable holdings and income patterns, lower active management, and clear tax and fee implications compared with regularly traded funds.
