* 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 ($4.8m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $8.49. Options: 17 managers hold calls ($54.8m notional), 14 hold puts ($28.7m).
