* 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 ($13.9m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 237.5m as of 2025-10-29, from the company's own SEC filing; the percentage can still exceed 100%: lent-out shares are counted by the lender and the buyer, and some reports overlap without saying so. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $40.70. Options: 10 managers hold calls ($10.6m notional), 9 hold puts ($7.5m).
