* 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 ($104.0m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 50.1m as of 2023-08-01, 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 ≈ $1186.28. Options: 41 managers hold calls ($3.0bn notional), 33 hold puts ($2.0bn).
