* 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 ($421.6k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $25.72. Options: 4 managers hold calls ($1.2m notional), 3 hold puts ($3.6m).
