* 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 ($59.1k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $40.78. Options: 4 managers hold calls ($1.7m notional), 4 hold puts ($1.1m).
