weighted average purchase price financial
"The price reported above reflects the weighted average purchase price."
The weighted average purchase price is the average cost per share you paid across multiple buys, calculated so larger purchases count more than smaller ones. Imagine buying apples at different prices: the overall price you effectively paid depends on how many apples you bought at each price. Investors use it to measure true cost basis, calculate gains or losses, decide when to sell, and manage taxes and portfolio performance.
registered investment adviser financial
"Bleichroeder LP, which serves as registered investment adviser to the trust"
A registered investment adviser (RIA) is a firm or individual legally registered with regulators to give personalized investment advice and manage clients' money, with a duty to put clients’ interests ahead of their own. Think of an RIA as a licensed financial guide who must disclose fees, conflicts and how they are paid; that transparency and legal duty matter to investors because it reduces the risk of hidden costs or biased recommendations.
pecuniary interest financial
"disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest"
