* 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 ($27.6k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $8.87. Options: 28 managers hold calls ($73.9m notional), 16 hold puts ($24.1m).
