* 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 ($3.6m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $8.82. Options: 16 managers hold calls ($34.2m notional), 15 hold puts ($66.5m).
