Every transaction on file is a sale. This is the pattern you would expect from an official liquidating positions to comply with an ethics agreement, but Open Cabinet does not yet ingest the entry-disclosure baseline (Nominee 278) needed to confirm which holdings have been fully divested.

Original Ethics Agreement signed Jan 9, 2025; subsequently amended at least four times (May 2, June 5, July 15, and Dec 5, 2025). The July 15 amendment retains three holdings Bessent originally agreed to divest (Presight RV Co-Invest Fund LP, Half Acre WSW LLC, Cambrian Biopharma) because no liquid buyer could be identified. The Dec 5 amendment extends the divestiture deadline for High Plains Acres LLP, Greengage Global Holdings, and Aperion (DE) Feeder Fund to Dec 15, 2025 due to illiquid nature.
