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 ($9.3m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $194.77. Options: 8 managers hold calls ($20.8m notional), 5 hold puts ($17.1m).
