* 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 ($2.2m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $3.20. Options: 10 managers hold calls ($9.4m notional), 8 hold puts ($5.2m).
