* 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 ($18.9m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $101.89. Options: 8 managers hold calls ($9.2m notional), 7 hold puts ($6.3m).
