* 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 ($1.2m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $9.48. Options: 21 managers hold calls ($85.4m notional), 15 hold puts ($63.5m).
