* 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 ($26.3m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 189.6m as of 2025-07-25, 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 ≈ $34.61. Options: 22 managers hold calls ($86.3m notional), 21 hold puts ($79.7m).
