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 ($5.9m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $184.27. Options: 9 managers hold calls ($18.3m notional), 12 hold puts ($40.4m).
