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 ($4.7m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $34.37. Options: 2 managers hold calls ($1.7m notional), 2 hold puts ($683.1k).
