* Summed across managers. Shares that two managers' reports both contain – a subsidiary's holdings that its parent's report includes too, or a sub-adviser's in its client's – are counted once. Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $11.61. Options: 18 managers hold calls ($114.6m notional), 19 hold puts ($54.0m).
