* 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 ($71.6m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $113.29. Options: 76 managers hold calls ($10.0bn notional), 56 hold puts ($7.0bn).
