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 ($8.7m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $224.17. Options: 10 managers hold calls ($43.1m notional), 8 hold puts ($7.2m).
