* 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 ($1.0m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $8.70. Options: 21 managers hold calls ($97.8m notional), 16 hold puts ($45.9m).
