- Insider selling pressure: No equity grants, vesting schedules, or officer ownership disclosures appear for Ahn; consequently, there are no Fund‑level vesting or grant-driven selling pressures to monitor for the Secretary role .
- Ownership alignment: The proxy discloses Board Member ownership ranges but not officer holdings; officer‑level alignment via stock ownership is not presented for Ahn .
- Retention/contract risk: Officer terms are annual and administrative; severance/change‑of‑control economics are not disclosed, suggesting typical fund officer appointment structures rather than individual employment agreements at the issuer .
- Governance and execution risk: Ahn’s responsibilities are primarily administrative/secretarial, including attestation on charter amendments, indicating process execution rather than portfolio or financial performance levers .
