* 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 ($5.6m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $10.66. Options: 15 managers hold calls ($49.9m notional), 17 hold puts ($43.2m).
