* 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 ($335.8k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 69.1m as of 2023-11-03, 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 ≈ $38.40. Options: 4 managers hold calls ($3.1m notional), 2 hold puts ($134.4k).
