* 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 ($32.5k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $15.11. Options: 9 managers hold calls ($16.6m notional), 9 hold puts ($10.2m).
