* 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 ($558.3k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 104.9m as of 2024-12-31, from the company's own SEC filing; the percentage can still exceed 100%: lent-out shares are counted by the lender and the buyer, and some reports overlap without saying so. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $9.78. Options: 14 managers hold calls ($23.4m notional), 9 hold puts ($4.7m).
