Director Tyler Donald G acquires 1,886 shares at GRF while stock trades below its 52-week high; second open-market purchase in 36 months.

Tyler Donald G, a director at Eagle Capital Growth Fund, added nearly 1,900 shares to his holdings at prices around $10 per share, marking his second open-market purchase in the past three years. The timing is noteworthy: the stock is currently trading more than 15% below its 52-week high and has declined roughly 11% over the past three months, positioning this purchase at a discount to recent peaks. However, his prior open-market buy at this company in mid-April—just weeks before this filing—failed to deliver gains; the stock was essentially flat to slightly down in the months that followed, suggesting his recent purchases have not been well-timed entries. With a track record of one prior open-market purchase and four prior sales across his broader filing history, Donald G has been more of a net seller than buyer, making this renewed accumulation somewhat unusual, though the small dollar amounts involved limit the conviction signal this purchase might otherwise carry.

Director Tyler Donald G makes two open-market purchases totaling over 1,000 shares in GRF, including a substantial buy amid recent price weakness.

Tyler Donald G, a director of Eagle Capital Growth Fund, executed two purchases within a month—a small initial buy followed by a much larger position addition worth nearly ten thousand dollars. The timing is noteworthy: the second purchase occurred as the stock was trading noticeably below its recent highs, suggesting the director saw value at lower price levels rather than chasing the stock upward. This pattern of stepping up to buy on weakness, combined with the significant size of the second transaction relative to his existing holdings, indicates conviction that the current valuation has become attractive. For a fund holding long-term capital allocation responsibility, this dual-tranche approach and willingness to add size during a pullback merit attention as a signal of internal confidence in the fund's prospects.
