* 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 ($297.4m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 50.7m as of 2024-11-06, 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 ≈ $1699.40. Options: 42 managers hold calls ($2.1bn notional), 49 hold puts ($3.0bn).
