* 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 ($2.6m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $28.39. Options: 3 managers hold calls ($512.6k notional), 3 hold puts ($173.2k).
