Holdings represent modest passive stakes below 10% thresholds commonly associated with control signals.
The combined positions reported—each under 10% of the class—are characterized as passive under the Schedule 13G construct. The cover-page fields show sole voting and dispositive power amounts for each reporting person.

Schedule 13Gregulatory
"Item 1. Name of issuer: Viridian Therapeutics, Inc."
A Schedule 13G is a formal document that investors file with the government when they acquire a large ownership stake in a company, usually for investment purposes rather than control. It helps keep the public informed about who owns significant parts of a company's shares, which can influence how the company is managed and how investors make decisions. Filing this schedule is important for transparency and understanding the ownership landscape of publicly traded companies.
Beneficially ownfinancial
"The Fund and one or more separately managed accounts managed by the Adviser directly beneficially own the Common Stock"
Beneficially own means having the economic rights and risks of a security—such as the right to receive dividends, sell the shares, or profit from price changes—whether or not your name appears on the official share register. Think of it like renting a car: you use it and reap the benefits even if the title lists someone else. Investors care because beneficial ownership determines who truly controls value, must be disclosed under securities rules, and can signal potential influence or trading activity that affects a stock’s price.
Sole Dispositive Powerregulatory
"7 | Sole Dispositive Power 5,633,788.00"
Sole dispositive power is the exclusive legal authority to decide what happens to a security — for example, whether to sell, transfer, or retain shares — without needing anyone else’s permission. Investors care because it signals who truly controls the economic outcome of an investment: like holding the only key to a safe, the holder can realize gains or losses and may trigger regulatory reporting, insider rules, or influence over corporate ownership.

The document is a Schedule 13G passive ownership statement filed by reporting persons and includes disclaimers; it does not state active control and treats the positions as direct beneficial ownership by each reporting person.
What powers over the shares are disclosed in the filing?
The cover-page fields show each reporting person with sole voting power and sole dispositive power equal to their reported share amounts (e.g., 5,633,788 shares for Paradigm), with no shared powers listed.
