investment advisory agreement financial
"pursuant to the investment advisory agreement between KKR Real Estate Select Trust Inc. and KKR Registered Advisor LLC"
A written contract between an investor and a professional who manages or gives ongoing advice about the investor’s money, spelling out the services provided, fees charged, how decisions are made, who holds the assets, and how either side can end the relationship. It matters to investors because it sets expectations, protects rights, clarifies costs that affect returns, and reveals any potential conflicts of interest—like a roadmap and fee schedule for a paid service.
management and/or incentive fees financial
"shares of common stock ... were issued as payment for management and/or incentive fees"
beneficial ownership financial
"disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein"
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.
pecuniary interest financial
"except to the extent of such Reporting Person's pecuniary interest therein"
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 regulatory
"for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise"
A provision of federal securities law that requires company insiders—directors, officers and large shareholders—to publicly report their stock holdings and trades and to surrender any “short-swing” profits from purchases and sales within a six-month window. It acts like a rule that forces leaders to announce their trades and prevents quick buy-sell windfalls, giving investors transparency into insider activity and reducing opportunities for unfair gain.
