* 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 ($109.0k this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Shares outstanding: 16.1m as of 2023-07-28, 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 ≈ $50.72. Options: 2 managers hold calls ($299.2k notional), 1 hold puts ($0).
