* 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 ($610.2k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $68.58. Options: 5 managers hold calls ($4.8m notional), 1 hold puts ($6.9k).

Each holder's latest filing, from 19 Dec 2024 on; percentages are of the share class, as the holder worked them out.
