* 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. Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $24.37. Options: 9 managers hold calls ($7.3m notional), 6 hold puts ($1.5m).
