* 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 ($9.4m this quarter). Holder counts are more reliable. Implied quarter-end price ≈ $15.01. Options: 13 managers hold calls ($144.9m notional), 13 hold puts ($22.4m).
