* 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 ($12.9m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $9.40. Options: 7 managers hold calls ($4.2m notional), 4 hold puts ($1.3m).
