* 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 ($23.6m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $381.90. Options: 6 managers hold calls ($28.9m notional), 10 hold puts ($53.7m).
