* 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 ($30.7m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 157.4m as of 2023-05-03, 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 ≈ $74.18. Options: 11 managers hold calls ($15.5m notional), 8 hold puts ($6.2m).
