* 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. Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $13.60. Options: 6 managers hold calls ($6.9m notional), 3 hold puts ($26.5k).
