* 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 ($9.0m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $13.21. Options: 11 managers hold calls ($94.9m notional), 15 hold puts ($38.7m).
