* 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 ($14.0m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 867.8m as of 2024-08-12, 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 ≈ $10.02. Options: 12 managers hold calls ($21.8m notional), 13 hold puts ($12.6m).
