* 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 ≈ $1.38. Options: 10 managers hold calls ($1.3m notional), 6 hold puts ($518.9k).
