* 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 ($208.5k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 40.3m as of 2023-08-02, 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 ≈ $29.26. Options: 10 managers hold calls ($11.1m notional), 8 hold puts ($5.0m).
