* 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 ($12.6m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $7.08. Options: 7 managers hold calls ($1.8m notional), 2 hold puts ($1.5m).
