* 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 ($8.0m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $28.07. Options: 2 managers hold calls ($1.2m notional), 1 hold puts ($12.4k).
