* 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 ($361.2m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 50.7m as of 2026-08-05, from the company's own SEC filing; the percentage can still exceed 100%: lent-out shares are counted by the lender and the buyer, and some reports overlap without saying so. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $1653.94. Options: 36 managers hold calls ($3.8bn notional), 36 hold puts ($3.9bn).
