* 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 ($16.1m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $38.39. Options: 11 managers hold calls ($67.8m notional), 17 hold puts ($114.6m).
