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 ($84.1m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $71.35. Options: 15 managers hold calls ($32.9m notional), 14 hold puts ($24.4m).
