* 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 ≈ $38.16. Options: 3 managers hold calls ($1.0m notional), 2 hold puts ($215.0k).
