* 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 ($1.1m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $31.54. Options: 7 managers hold calls ($46.9m notional), 5 hold puts ($1.4m).
