* 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 ($199.1m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 1.7bn as of 2022-10-31, 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 ≈ $79.03. Options: 44 managers hold calls ($1.8bn notional), 60 hold puts ($2.9bn).
