Investment case

Exited as part of the strategy shift

I exited this position as part of the broader move away from broad S&P 500 indexing. The reasoning is recorded in the Portfolio Strategy note at the top of the Decision Log rather than as a company-specific view. Nothing about the fund itself prompted the sale.

    An in-kind transfer from an external Vanguard account established the initial VOO position. Later purchases were made directly in this account. Exact transfer date not preserved in source records. Placed here at the account's earliest known activity as an approximate marker.
