* 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 ≈ $26.13. Options: 24 managers hold calls ($421.6m notional), 24 hold puts ($282.8m).
