indirect ownership financial

"The reported Star Bulk Carriers Corp. shares are held indirectly"

investment control financial

"over which the reporting person has investment control"

economic interest financial

"indirectly holds 100% of the economic interest"

An economic interest is a right to receive money or other financial benefits from an asset, contract, or business activity without necessarily owning or controlling it; examples include a share of profits, royalties, dividend rights, or scheduled payments. Investors care because it determines who gets cash flow and bears risk — like collecting rent on a house you don’t legally own — and it affects valuation, expected returns, and how exposure to an investment is structured.
