* 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 ($17.2m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 150.9m as of 2024-07-31, 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 ≈ $41.24. Options: 17 managers hold calls ($25.8m notional), 16 hold puts ($27.8m).
