* 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 ($6.8m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $18.97. Options: 2 managers hold calls ($100.5k notional), 1 hold puts ($1.9k).
