* 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 ($2.5m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $30.37. Options: 4 managers hold calls ($6.0m notional), 2 hold puts ($424.0k).
