* 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 ($51.9m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 255.7m as of 2024-10-29, from the company's own SEC filing; the percentage can still exceed 100%: lent-out shares are counted by the lender and the buyer, and some reports overlap without saying so. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $104.95. Options: 20 managers hold calls ($322.7m notional), 15 hold puts ($87.8m).
