* 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 ($6.0m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $9.38. Options: 16 managers hold calls ($199.7m notional), 14 hold puts ($34.6m).
