* 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 ($30.2m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 272.1m as of 2025-08-01, 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 ≈ $56.07. Options: 19 managers hold calls ($125.7m notional), 13 hold puts ($92.4m).
