* 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 ($2.0m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $20.88. Options: 3 managers hold calls ($575.8k notional), 3 hold puts ($134.1k).

The same trade is sometimes reported by more than one insider, such as a fund and the director who represents it; totals count it once.
