* 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 ($6.4m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $5.27. Options: 14 managers hold calls ($18.3m notional), 8 hold puts ($5.2m).
