* 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 ($64.7m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $215.93. Options: 28 managers hold calls ($1.1bn notional), 30 hold puts ($889.7m).
